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?
Yes, you're absolutely right. Bitcoin was created to be decentralized currency free from the control of banks or any third party.
Bitcoin was also created to provide its users with anonymity, transparency, anti-fraud and quick transaction time.
Just like many have mentioned already, I believe the reasons bitcoin was made are the benefits that we now enjoy.
I'm sure you'd agree with me that one of the disadvantages of banks is the slow transaction time. It takes days, sometimes weeks, to send money from one country to the other. Something that is now possible in minutes, if not seconds, sending bitcoin.
Anonymity is another advantage we enjoy. Transactions now do not need personal details to be successful. What is needed is simply the bitcoin address and all is done.
