True, but he does it coming from his emotions, not his rational thinking ... and that is the problem. I think he must have thrown really a lot of money into AMP in order to be so emotionally attached to it.
Emotions? If you're right that he hasn't got a degree in economics, then he flat out lied. How the f*** is he going to talk up the value to investors then?
It is a bit of both. I also think he flat out lies. Remember his 150.000 % ROI ? That was a big fat lie. And probably he is talking overly positive because he really believes that by doing that price will start soaring. He really overestimates the power of the people on bitcointalk

. At the same time, I also think he has a lot of money in AMP and therefore he is emotionally attached to the coin. This completely shuts down his rational reasoning.
