Which is why the white paper is called "Bitcoin: a peer-to-peer electronic cash system"?

So what .. it happens all the time .. devs start working to solve an inferior problem and they end up hitting a jackpot .. Google guys just wanted to make a page rank algo and they went to sell it to Yahoo ... You know the history .. same thing happened to Bitcoin .. Satoshi were targeting a simpler problem but due to their incredible insights in math , cryptography and coding ..they created GOLD ...

I hope you understand creating a GOLD replacement is a LOT HARDER problem than fiat replacement ! ..

Gold is money, Bitcoin is better money.

I don't think Satoshi wanted to solve an "inferior" problem and then somehow ended up creating gold, or some asset which is not money but happen to scarce and desirable.

First point - YES

Second point - I don't know what Satoshi wanted ..I guess you too ... But the white paper clearly says they were designing a p2p cash system .. turns out they created a replacement for Gold .. which one would you choose ?
