Many people that has been in Bitcoin for very long end up with Bitcoin derangement syndrome, meaning they think the protocol or community has "changed" beyond the original mission and go altcoining or quitting.
How have you handled the change in Bitcoin culture and still manage to stick around even attending every conference out there?

I don't think Bitcoin culture has fundamentally changed all that much.
When I got involved back in 2012, the first thing I got involved in was the blocksize war, with my famous Feb 2013 post How a floating blocksize limit inevitably leads towards centralization.
The spirit of that post - the culture leading to it - was to create a decentralized currency that anyone could participate in fully. Our #1 goal is still to do exactly that.
