I think bitcoin was created to give people money as Androids take all the employment in the next decades.
I have indeed read the white paper, it is very strange, particularly this part:
"Although it would be possible to handle coins individually, it would be unwieldy to make a separate transaction for every cent in a transfer."
This appears in section 9. If you think about what this seems to be suggesting, you may be surprised. Let's say you buy a pizza for $9.99, In order to 'handle coins individually', you would possibly make 999 transactions, the first one being like this, $0.01 / [CURRENT BITCOIN PRICE] For example, if bitcoin was valued at $8000, the first transaction would be 0.01/8000=0.00000125 btc.
Then it goes on to say this would be 'unwieldy'. This is a very interesting perspective, since this approach appears 'impossible', not 'unwieldy'. Unwieldy suggests that something is time consuming to complete, but also implies that whoever wrote this paper considers this crazy approach possible, which clearly this crazy approach is simply impossible for humans, but would be unwieldy for an artificial intelligence program.
Here is some more research about who possibly created bitcoin. I think it is interesting.
