Bitcoin is much more than a currency based on my reading of "Softwar". Many are missing some of the other aspects of how it can be "weaponized" to make typical kinetic warfare obsolete. This is likely the longer term mission of why it was created.
It is much more reasonable to expect silver/gold coins and/or silver certificates to fullfill the "replacement currency" or "currency backing" in the short to medium term, but Bitcoin is likely the next iteration after that once fully developed. Many of the potentials related to currency have yet to happen, but they are clearly sitting there ready and waiting when humanity is ready for it. This appears to be the purpose of how it was created. Foundation first. The roof comes later.
