Was that true for you? It wasn't for me.
No, but I'm aware of how strange I am.
I think your point (b) is the more relevant one. Many conscientious bitcoiners don't like revealing to people that they are bitcoiners, so the respect they've earned from others isn't moving the needle for bitcoin's respectability.

Hopefully this is true and there are many more respected people who are bitcoiners than those that are willing to be transparent about it.
But Bitcoin as I see it is a revolution-rebellion against the state and bankers power.
Most citizens still worship at the alter of the fiat debt based banking, financial and monetary system because that is portrayed and perceived as the centre of power and source of wealth.
Bitcoin is saying fuck the banks and government - its not about being respectable.

It's an interesting sociological point though, and if it's generally true then perhaps (a) our popular culture lacks respectable people or (b) the respectable people are not advocating for bitcoin, since my general sense is that most people I encounter are still pretty averse/closed minded to it.
