Yeah, better having him buy up lots of BTC than spreading FUD about it.
He is not someone who could harm BTC even if he talks negatively about it - because if a man invests $12 billion in BTC in two weeks and it does not have any impact on the price, then it is completely clear that for the majority it does not matter at all. The market is of course free and everyone can buy (for now) as much BTC as they can afford - but I don't think it's positive to go towards the fact that in a few years some individuals/companies will have millions of BTC in their possession - which is not only a security issue a risk, but also a risk for the price when one day one of them decides to sell everything he has accumulated over the years.
This means that one day in the future we may experience what it's like when someone dumps a million BTC on the market - and it won't be Satoshi.
Even Peter Schiff is changing his tune a little bit, from what I read on his X profile.
I doubt that, because in that case he would admit that he was wrong all along - and given that he is up to his neck in gold, such an admission would be bad for his job.
