Don’t refer to some authority for what opinion or reason I should be in Bitcoin. Maybe get your own values to care about and reasons for doing something rather than looking for someone’s else’s to use as your source of truth.

And even though I don’t think it matters, but just because you brought up Satoshi i feel obligated to reference this:

“Governments are good at cutting off the heads of a centrally controlled network like Napster, but pure P2P networks like Gnutella and Tor seem to be holding their own. … Yes, we will not find a solution to political problems in cryptography, but we can win a major battle in the arms race and gain a new territory of freedom for several years.”

Thanks for that quote (which I have seen before). It is markedly different in tone and nuance to the statement you made about Bitcoin above.

Rather an emotive response. I didn't make any reference to your reasons for 'being in Bitcoin'. I responded only to the statement you made seeking to define Bitcoin's 'mission', which I found unnecessarily grandiose.
