Rubbish. I get that it's supposed to be humorous but usually one would base humor on some kernel of fact and there is none in your post.

Searching for the translation for the french "L'argent n'a pas d'odeur", it seems the english equivalent has no widespread use? Anyway, I just learned that the expression dates back from almost two thousand years ago.

I don't think that represents the mentality of society as a whole. Just the media, because their financial incentive is to lock in an audience by tailoring their message.
It is the society as a whole. Well, 90% to 95% of it. You and and your friends are probably educated people with critical thinking, but you're only a tiny part of "society".
You have to consider that:
_ even educated people can be subject to echo chamber, with the result of being wrong in good faith;
_ some educated people are being wilfully deceptive, because they have some personal interest in doing so;
_ media are propaganda. Most people don't go out of their way to check sources. What the media as a whole is saying, is what the society is saying, and the feedback loop (through the audience / financial incentives) ensures that this works consistently.
_ if you don't notice debate polarization in the population as a whole, it probably means that they just don't really care.
No, the cat is wrong. He claimed there will be zero, merely because they are being lost. That is mathematically incorrect.
No, you're wrong.
Your math is only correct if the considered quantity is a real number. However bitcoins are a fixed-point number (an integer number of satoshis). Therefore, at some point the last satoshi will be lost.
