There is truth in your statement. Satoshi Nakamoto first surfaced after the economic crisis in 2008, in light of the greed and power-mongering of the centralized financial institutions.
How great, that it is now his very invention, that is slowly yet surely siphoning away power from the centralized financial institutions.
I personally am not so sure, if his goal is achieved the way he wants.
After all, the hashingpower of BTC is mostly centered around big companies.
The currencies are traded in centralized exchanges.
People take BTC as an object for speculation, not knowing any background (be it the technological or the philosophical one).
These are just some issues, a cypherpunk would most certainly not like about this. After all, trading government control for company control would be basically the same in this philosophy, I think.
