I think upon casual reading, one finds that is not true. The Bitcoin Genesis block contained metadata that suggests otherwise:[1]
"The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks"
I personally don't particularly agree with central banks being a utility of commercial banks, but I also don't believe that creating a digital deflationary asset that cannot allow intermediaries to solve human problems like fraud is the answer.
It seems infantile to me to suggest otherwise.
