Bitcoin isn't pretending to be any of those (which is essentially what the claim is). Do you see any of that on bitcoin.org, anywhere in Bitcoin Core, or in the Bitcoin Whitepaper? Or in any of the top cryptoassets by market cap?

Don't conflate people talking about something with the thing itself.

Bitcoin doesn't have a HN account. Listening to people talk about it is the only way to get information about it.

Bitcoin proponents have been semi-continuously yammering about all of those for over a decade. If anyone seriously disagreed, there'd be a disclaimer on bitcoin.org.
