Satoshi Nakamoto's vision as laid out in the whitepaperBitcoin : A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash Systemwas designed to create true economic freedom for everyone on the planet by a radical opening of access to economic opportunity and by providing each individual with the ability to own their own wealth, as opposed to having it "lent" to them by an all-powerful, centralizing set of intermediaries.
