The way that's worded sounds like Bitcoin was designed with ASICs in mind - that isn't the case, is it?
Satoshi has not envisioned ASICs, no. But it doesn't matter what Satoshi thinks/thought of. Bitcoin is not controlled by anyone; anyone can introduce a better way to mine/use it.
Thank you very much.
