Since Bitcoin has become a dominant cryptocurrency online, would you say that Satoshi had foreseen Bitcoin becoming a major currency today? Any speculations as to what or who were his/her influences in creating Bitcoin?
Of course? It started as a project but every project is started with aspirations of it having significant impact or change on its environment. There's a book called Digital Gold that talks about a lot of unregulated currency and cryptography talks for as much as two decades before Bitcoin was created. In fact there were other attempts by other people to create such a currency, but each before Bitcoin was unsuccessful.
