I want to get enlightenment from all members about whether bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have changed from their original goals? Hopefully this will be material for constructive and enlightening discussion
I don't think bitcoin's goals and objectives have changed from its initial purpose. It's just that more people are coming up with alternative ways to utilize bitcoin. it's the people who changed or rather evolved in time, but bitcoin has remained the same mostly. It is still used as an alternative from centralized institutions.
