I agree, as Karpelles said just before stealing 500m US Dollars worth of BTC: "Bitcoin was just an experiment"
BTC is the entry level or introduction to the world to digital currencies let's say, nothing will ever stop the central banks to change their monetary system unless they rule it, or create it.
So the experiment could be BTC as Karpelles said.
Once they decided is enough then they will merge some other types of cryptocurrencies or digital money into bank accounts.
And regarding Satoshi all i know is that he came up saying he does not know anything about Bitcoin, well some satochi nakamoto somewhere in California.
