For those who are not familiar with Eoghan McCabe, he is the co-founder and now chairman of Intercom, a company that:

Quote
Intercom is an American software company that produces a messaging platform which allows businesses to communicate with prospective and existing customers within their app, on their website, through social media, or via email. Intercom is headquartered in San Francisco with additional offices in Chicago, Dublin, Sydney and London.

As of February 2017, Intercom has 100,000 monthly active users.[2][3] As of October 2018, Intercom has 30,000 paying customers.[4]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercom_(company)

The company itself is worth more than $1 billion - https://www.businessinsider.com/messaging-startup-intercom-worth-1-275-billion-funding-kleiner-perkins-2018-3

But we don't know how much he invested, however, we can seen a lot of super rich people getting their hands dirty and investing on BTC so it has an overall good impact to crypto economics.

The message is a bit bizarre though. Imagine if he became a vegan, and said "now that I've jumped on veganism, I would like everyone else to do the same". Is he some kind of guru we should be following ?

When in fact he's the one following us who have been in crypto all along...

I just visited his profile and he's been listening to the Pomp Podcast too https://twitter.com/eoghan/status/1328177557007601664

I wonder if he'll allow his company to start accepting bitcoin payments too. There are many crypto gambling platforms that runs support on intercom if I am not mistaken.

This usually means "buy my bags" types of tweets but since it's bitcoin, he probably meant "pump BTC for me so I can sell at a profit later".

Quite weird indeed, knowing that bitcoin is a highly volatile asset and suggesting people(that don't know anything about investing) to buy such and asset could potentially be really dangerous due to potential panic selling and such.

But to be honest, if you think of it, these days it's becoming more "risky" to actually not hold bitcoin.

This one, everyone is on the bitcoin bandwagon, but I think he has done this research  and probably know that it is a highly volatile assets, but there is the potential upside on it. And perhaps during his research, bitcoin is not in the bull run yet so just like the rest of us here, we are looking to the future with positivism that one day a new all time high will be reach. So better to join early at this stage for him.

This is really funny.He's just a guy,who smelled profits,so he "jumped in the Bitcoin wagon" because of that,not because he believes in the future of Bitcoin,blockchain technology,decentralization,etc.
Asking everyone else "to do the same" is simply hilarious.People should never take such financial advise seriously.
The other funny part is "after years of dabbling".I guess he means that he was dabbling when Bitcoin was in a stagnant bearish market,but when the market became bullish,then Bitcoin became cool...
This is the typical thinking of an opportunist.. Grin
