I did not get the memo about the "good news". This is friedcat telling us he hasn't been doing good: how many times will you folks just pretend-celebrate because of a few words in here? I would suggest holding back the "to the moon" and "friedcat for president" posts for when we actually see dividends, for all we know he might withhold the mined coins to fund a hypothetical 4th gen.
Although your argument is valid, the market speaks opposite right now. Might be the case that a couple of crazy rich men are playing, or it simply is understood as a good news.
But regardless any facts, the price goes up, which makes it good news event if it wasn't at first ...
