Satoshi has made the very first instance mankind is able to share a highly-accessible, Immutable database. All data on it cannot be fudged, even by governments or hackers. If money is your data on it (like bitcoin) then that means you can't counterfeit that money. If your will or business docs are stored on it, then unlike every will and business document today, you know it will always be safe, secure, and accessible forever in the future.
It absolutely bypasses government control over money leaving its' borders. Don't let anyone ever tell you that they'll be able to stop this eventually; the protocol will not recognize such attempts, and forever forward money just won't care how governments want it to behave.
