Absolutely agree. It was Satoshi's equivalent of the 95 Theses, released the same day to make a statement.
Luther, via the printing press and the translation of Scripture into the language of the common man, unleashed something that could not be stopped, because every household could have a copy of God's Word that they could read and understand.
Bitcoin has done the same thing for money by allowing virtually anyone to have a copy of the full ledger and verify the state of that ledger for themselves.
How do I KNOW that Jesus is Lord? Not because the church told me so, but because I can read it for myself directly from the Bible.
How do I KNOW that there will only ever be 21 million Bitcoin? Not because I trusted the word of some civil magistrate that he won't inflate the money supply, but because I can verify the supply on my own node and I know I won't update to a version that alters the issuance schedule.
