Very smart move. Risto is talking to his book like basically everybody here. Some are more vocal than others but the bottom line is the same: if an entity owns coins (s)he tends to be biased towards his position (even non-intentionally).
Bear in mind, in the very long run this volatility is simply background noise. When Monero reaches 10 000 usd price point it really doesn't make that much difference if you have bought your coins at 1 usd, 10 usd or even 100 usd. The most important thing is you still hold you coins in your bags.
