This may be a question that bothers me in my heart and mind who thinks that Bitcoin as part of cryptocurrency has deviated from its initial goal which was intended to fight banks

The original purpose of creating BTC wasn't for it to 'fight' banks, BTC was created to be an alternative currency to fiat, but one that is censorship resistant, permissionless and decentralized.

All these attributes that you've just mentioned are not practiced by financial institutions such as banks, which has given Bitcoin an upper hand to earning the trust of the people. We should understand that so many people are after transparency especially where their money is. I think this is why the OP thinks Bitcoin was introduced to fight banks, which is not true. But due to the difference in their attributes you've mentioned, financial institutions (banks) are now feeling less important. I guess that should be the right word (less important).

from that question I want to get enlightenment from all members about whether bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have changed from their original goals?

Kind of, but it was expected, BTC does not have one use case, so people will decide how they want to use their BTC, and neither you or i has the right to tell them what to do with their coins. BTC has really developed, and there was no way it was going to stay exactly as Satoshi created it, there have been a lot of improvements and people will use it how they like.

Very true. When Satoshi introduced it at first, I think it was just for payment purposes. But now that the community is now incharge, we've seen things that are beneficial and also not beneficial to Bitcoin that were introduced by the Bitcoin community. Ordinals, Runes, BRC-20 Tokens, LN, etc have been introduced aside what Satoshi implemented. Not everyone enjoys some of this things I just mentioned.
