And because gold is a failed money that requires trust and centralization he was able to move to fiat Bitcoin fixed the money problems that gold couldn’t

Gold is inefficient but not failed. People used to settle in gold with coins, etc. but preferred cash because the technology to make gold lighter, and more portable didn't exist until very recently. The gold inefficiency problem has been improved upon with goldbacks. Bitcoin took away currency control on the internet, and was an amazing proof on concept that allowed better cryptocurrencies to arise. I agree that without Bitcoin as a prototype other projects probably wouldn't have been made but like any technology innovation is inevitable. And most people agree that Monero, and Z-cash are the next technological upgrades to Bitcoin.
