I totally agree with the first point. There are lots of ridiculous pieces of propaganda that are only believed by economists.

The other point doesn't ring true to me at all. If anything, economists seem to be disliked by other social scientists because we often rightly criticize the statistical techniques that they're misusing.

I don't think this holds for all the economists in general. Probably some of them are, but as individuals, not as a profession.

Trying to explain to my college (an economist) how revolutionary Bitcoin is

Of course I can imagine it. 

Economics is the priest caste of the financial imperial aristocracy, their job hjas always been to put number justifications on what is in the end an ideological program of financialized neoclassical economics.

This is one of the reasons economics is in general low repute with other academic fields, especiallz in the social sciences (of which it purports to be a member). They don't really think about things in any deep manner, they just march on.
