"Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws!"
You are not permitted to issue and control Bitcoin.
Precisely.
Therefore, the quote is invalid.
Then you're looking at it wrong. The quote says money trumps political power. Decentralize money, decentralize political power.
The only invalid quote here is this:
Bitcoin is not a means to achieve a political end.
Money and political power are both products of human society. There is no reason one would trump the other.
