He is lying, and people are eating it up. He is lying because he is not happy about this result, the fact that it is now considered a security, directly tied to him means that this is as centralized as it gets and on any wrong move he makes that causes the price of it go down, will be returned with a lawsuit that is geared towards him. This basically opened him up for manipulation, and he could be sued a lot more easily now that it is a security.
People are thinking that he is happy because he says he is happy, and that is understandable how would people know he is a liar, but we all know him for a long time now and I can easily say that he is purely lying, there is no correct thing coming out of his mouth these days.
