It sounds like he's just trying to play devils advocate to spark up some dialogue.  He's spitting back some of the common complaints one hears on forums like these...As far as that goes....he also repeats some of the good things about the technology too...He's just trying to start conversation.  He's probably got writers block and is trying to create something to write about.

Well, I mean... I just read a couple threads down that this guy had essentially called bitcoin a "technology that could change the world"
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/innovations/wp/2015/12/28/2015-was-a-tipping-point-for-six-technologies-which-will-change-the-world/

I think this guy is holding bitcoin and causing FUD to get cheap coins.  I think he is trying to capitalize on the revelations that Hearn supposedly "dumped" his coins, and trying to make the price collapse even further, so he can essentially accumulate cheap coins... maybe because he thinks that it will shoot up in price during the halving season.

Idk, I think this guy is obviously as "stupid" and "greedy" than anyone else I've seen on here.
Well isn't that funny. Bitcoin is the future currency and people need to realise that. People are now hating because the price fell a bit.

i wouldn't be surprised if at the end that tweet was just an excuse to grab some random reaction from the public and then after a long revision make an article about it... the problem would be if is done on the purpose of feeling blackmailed from the bitcoin community and start spreading lies about it
