To fix those flaws and allow it to achieve its stated goal, we need a few more ingenious inventions; which we cannot guess when oor whether they will be made.

What is Bitcoin's stated goal Jorge?

It is written right at the beginning of Satoshi's paper, as clearly as it could be.

Quote from: Bitcoin.pdf
A  purely   peer-to-peer   version   of   electronic   cash   would   allow   online
payments  to  be  sent   directly  from  one  party  to  another  without   going  through  a
financial institution.

And which flaws are preventing it from achieving this stated goal?

coinbase, bitpay et al. being the new financial institutions? ^^
