I have a few issues with the wording:
- "fair money" is needlessly ambiguous, and can be interpreted as something other than "sound money". Some people don't think sound money is "fair", and favor things like demurrage for example
- "gradient-free economy" is not a common term, and people won't know what it means
- Should avoid using the first-person "we" as much as possible
- I don't think it's necessary to get into what was the mission of the "original bitcoin team".
I'll try to write an alternative version to see what you think

I Googled "gradient-free economy", it has no hits. So I still think that's a term best avoided.
I came up with some alternate wordings that I think are more decriptive of our goals:
"The goal of Bitcoin ABC is to create sound money that is useable by everyone in the world.
We believe this is a civilization-changing technology which will dramatically increase human
flourishing, freedom, and prosperity. The project aims to achieve this goal by implementing
a series of optimizations and protocol upgrades that will enable peer-to-peer digital cash to
scale many orders of magnitude beyond current limits."
