Is this what Satoshi Nakamoto intended in the Bitcoin Whitepaper?

I am NOT trying to FUD the subreddit. I am, rather, trying to find and foster healthy discussion.

Mnuchin's speech leaves me with mixed thoughts.

There should be little to no dispute about what the original bitcoin whitepaper entailed when it was written and published in November 2008. Satoshi Nakamoto intended to create a financial system that is free from the effects of the federal reserve.

Did he foresee taxation? Possible Embracement from the United States' government? How about acknowledgement from the President? How about the events that we see unfolding in Washington?

I really want your opinions. Let's hear all sides.
