By this logic, "original mission" should include everything we do in Ethereum or Monero also... smart contracts, prediction markets, gambling, darknet markets, privacy tech, decentralized stablecoins, naming systems, asset issuance, decentralized exchanges.. Everything of this was discussed and endorsed by Satoshi or in mailing lists. First versions of Bitcoin's code included poker game. The "original mission" narrative is just post-hoc justification - people cherry-pick from Satoshi's words and early discussions to validate whatever they already believe. It's the same institutional pattern as invoking "founding fathers" or "original intent" - creating mythological anchors to avoid engaging with actual principles. If you want separation of money and state, say that. If you want censorship-resistant exchange, say that. But don't hide behind curated historical narratives. The tool is neutral - what matters is whether it actually enables the properties you claim to care about.
