Reading the Bitcoin whitepaper often is like returning to the source of truth. Each revisit reveals new insights that were once overlooked. By rereading it, we refine our understanding, strengthen our conviction, and guard ourselves against scams disguised as “innovations.”

I understand and agree wih the underlying feeling, it's very close to what may happen in physics and mathematics when reading the original works of the founders of some fields (e.g., Einstein's/Dirac's/Von Neumann's/Grothendiek's/Ehresmann's papers).
However, the step from this toidolization, idolatry, brainless adherence, and bigotry is dangerously easy to take. I guess one should always go back to the roots with an open mind, and a will to critically examine the foundations through the lens of modern knowledge.
To be clear, I'm not accusing you to of havin took the step I mentioned ;-)

Bitcoin whitepaper is like the bible of decentralization and self sovereignty

No, it's a document that explains how this decentralized money works, without the need for intermediaries. There are many other documents that address sovereignty and decentralization.
Treat Bitcoin as money it is to avoid falling into future traps.
