Since he's flip-flopped on his position 4 years ago- yeah. I think it might be dawning on him that in a decentralised world, he's as useful as a chocolate teapot, and so are all his glad-handing friends. BTC was always a declaration of war directly on his handling of the 2007-2008 crisis and the behaviour of the banks.
The two questions are:
1) whether the rumour that the NSA identified Satoshi Nakamoto (

2) Can they control the ingress and egress of fiat into cryptocurrency and back? They certainly gave it a really good shot a few years back at the height of the Silk Road drama, and it's an easy choke point.
