It wasnt that created for financial freedom because it was never been that an investment in the first place. Bitcoins existence is written solidly into its whitepaper which do pertains about p2p transactions without 3rd party involved on which this had been that the main reason about its existence. It did really just turn out that it becomes a demand and recognition is really that high which it ends up on having that rising value and to those who had been able to accumulate into those early years are the ones who did make out such huge money and this is something that it is really worth for the trust that they do have in Bitcoin into those early days on which that brings out that financial freedom into those people who had accumulated.
I'd take that a step further and point out that Bitcoin's transformation into a speculation instrument has effectively
killed it's original purpose in popular lore because for most its users today, decentralization not a value to them (e.g. they invest in Bitcoin through a broker or the ETF). And the only reason the blockchain architecture even exists is because of decentralization--
centralized blockchain is a waste of time and resources.
Today, in actual reality, Bitcoin is basically a meme investment instrument: people investing in the brand name, "Bitcoin".
Satoshi et. al. created Bitcoin as a boutique means of value transfer for those who could not safely use a means of value transfer accessible to the government (and it's worth noting that Bitcoin mostly
failed in this goal because of the public ledger can be triangulated by the authorities). It was never meant as a mainstream everyday means of transacting since the architecture makes such scale absolutely unthinkable. It was not created as a "get rich quick" scheme. It was never meant to be used the way it's used today wherein most people keep their Bitcoin holdings in a centralized database just like any other investment.
Coca Cola started off as cold medicine. Bubble Wrap started off as wallpaper. Viagra was a treatment for high blood pressure. Bitcoin was a p2p numerically delineated value transfer mechanism made to evade government oversight.
These things happen...
