It has completely succeeded in that. In a decade it has never been successfully censored, it remains viable P2P cash and in fact has scaled in capability dramatically.
Now you can trustlessly transfer $1k from one phone to another in milliseconds across the globe at effectively no cost.
That is the best cash ever.
And no government or corporation can censor it like they did to Wikileaks.
A side effect of its security approach is the coin limit which has created scarcity and a virtuous cycle whereby early adopters gain relative wealth that helps fund continuing development.
Bitcoin has completely succeeded on its own terms, far beyond its intended scope.
It is now in the early stages of remaking the world in its own image.
I know that likely few of you can see that, but it is already a national currency, and soon the trickle of adoption will become a flood as bitcoin incentivizes a speculative attack on the dollar and every other fiat currency.
In the process it will destroy the funding mechanism that has kept the world at war for a century, and massively increased poverty.
War is over. If you want it. Maas theft of poor peoples savings via inflation is over.
With Bitcoin.
PS: Blockchain/NFTs/Ethereum and every other shitcoin are scams. Beware.
