When people say "Bitcoin was created for ..." that is religion and people who say that usually have some sort of agenda akin to a religious belief.  Bitcoin can be used for whatever you want to use it for.  If you want to use it as tool to bypass governments then you can do that (there is not just one "government").  If you want to use it to sell your 99 cent product and avoid the credit card fees you can do that.  If you want to invest you can do that.  If you want to avoid banks you can do that.  And on and on.  Users can use Bitcoin and still comply with regulations if they want.  Bitcoin just gives more choices.
