In 2008, there was a huge economic catastrophe in the world. Some banks conspired and deliberately caused this economic disaster. This is why many people were financially disadvantaged and lost their trust in the bank. I think Satoshi made bitcoin to save people from this disaster. That is, Satoshi has created a currency where there is no third party. There will be no central bank. No one can control it. Customer to customer transactions can be done. While Bitcoin has no controller, no one will be able to intentionally disrupt its finances. Bitcoin introduced a new horizon to the world's economy and freed people from this economic catastrophe.
So I think this is why Bitcoin was created. Is that the only reason? Or are there more reasons? What is your opinion?
every opinion on this one will be count in because satoshi never mentioned any specific reason why he create this ,either to really help people or to help himself who would know?
but as far as this is helping us and we are benefiting from crypto,let us be thankful for what he did and gives us.
It is really doubtful that satoshi created bitcoin to try to benefit himself, if that was true then he should have cashed out some of the coins that he has in his wallets, but he hasn't done so and he has not touched his coins since the day he left, most likely he created bitcoin just to prove himself that he was capable of doing it, after all something like bitcoin has been the dream of many people for decades and it wasn't until satoshi created bitcoin that those dreams came true.
