TLDR bitcoin is a global digital currency, regulation was created in tandem with development and adoption, bitcoin is not and never was meant to be a liberty promoting value exchange. There is no "satoshi". The central banks are already the largest holders of bitcoin. Bitcoin IS going to the moon because of this.

The powers that be, indeed wanted -for a long time now- a global, electronic currency that they can issue, monitor and control.

- Issue on demand, and NOT deflationary as you said, because deflation would only lead to an imploding global debt. It is impossible to repay global debt that expands due to interest with a steady or diminishing monetary supply: The money runs out and the economy collapses.

- Monitor all transactions as they happen, so that they can learn everything about our buying habits, or use the mass information for mapping out patterns which are useful to their broader control agenda.

- Control the currency, and by association, its users, through flip-switches like freezing your funds if you do not comply with a government request so that you cannot buy anything (and therefore directly threatening your ability to survive while living inside-the-grid).

Bitcoin is "trolling" their agenda in at least 2 of the 3 fronts:

1) It cannot be issued on demand - it has a finite capacity.

2) It can be monitored but not with 100% success as a centralized system.

3) The currency and its users can't be controlled with "flip-switches". When the centralized digital money system will lock people out from transacting because they were not obedient to the system, people will have BTC or BTC-equivalents - something that preempted their plans. In a cashless society it will be gold, silver, btc and the "official" digital currency of the world - with gold and silver being slightly less practical (or much less practical for remote payments like over the internet).

What they can do though, is to attack Bitcoin due to all the non-reversible scams & hacks, bad PR, price fluctuations etc etc, and say "look, we will give you a digital currency that is all that Bitcoin was and safer, more stable due to government backing" etc etc. We give you safety and stability and we take your freedom kind-of-deal. The masses would take it any day btw with some proper conditioning. The problem is not the masses, it's the states/countries. Why give monetary control to an outside source? It is financial suicide if a country can't issue their own national currency and instead have to borrow it from a central bank which is elsewhere. So they might entice the countries by saying "we'll erase a large part of your debt if you accept this new currency" and that will give the puppet-rulers installed in each country a disguise of "legitimacy" for betraying their countries and handing over monetary control to the over-state of the global central bank.
