Maybe I am naive but I am taking him at his word.  I think he is wondering... wait, what is going on here?  Am I missing something and asking for perspective.  Otherwise why would he offer such a large target to all the drooling bitcoin twitter carnivore chorus?

This could be the start of the orange pill process for him.

Or, maybe he's just salty.
