GP said nothing about bitcoin claiming to be anything. They're directly quoting the article

you are allowed to read a comment multiple times if you don't understand it on the first go. the point is bitcoin has a wealthy insider class intentionally built into it from the very begining.
the creator never got around to exploiting this (possibly because they died) but that doesnt make them an altruist.
But they seem to translate a quote that posits someone would be altruistic to create a monetary system without enriching themselves, to "bitcoin is an altruistic system" and then shoot down that statement rather than what the quote is saying.
