I don’t think the goal was to make something that would become a currency in any society, the goal was to create a way of making quick and cheap transactions. Bitcoin is a lot of different from banks and other payment systems, you don’t need emails or to fill out any long information concerning the person you’re sending money to. All you need is just their wallet address and you’re good to go, just copy and paste and that’s it, within a few seconds they have got their money

Are you sure about that?

If I'm not mistaken, Satoshi's whitepaper is called something like "A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System". Cash is synonymous with currency (or money), while cash system as I see it refers to a payment system which makes use of this currency. Apart from that, creating a way of making quick and cheap transactions can be done via creating a currency in its own right (though not only that, of course). Anyway, if you come to disagree, you are welcome to explain your stance in greater detail
