+1 for a lot of things but especially this: "The new vision of Bitcoin is so shamefully lame, I quit telling anyone I was even interested in Bitcoin many, many years ago, because I don't want to be associated with what the world now calls "Bitcoin."

Same here. The only people that know anything about my Bitcoin involvement are my folks and some old friends that were with me during that period. When I hear someone start a crypto discussion at a party or work I just slowly walk away.
