It looks like he's extremely interested in Bitcoin, but being a little oblique. Perhaps he doesn't want to leak to many 'quotable' comments regarding it at this stage.

that is an interesting thing but maybe not the most interesting thing. i think the re-imagining of what money is in the digital world may be more interesting

Yes just saw that recently. I think it shows the shifting perceptions of bitcoin as people realise that it is a real thing and not some scam of fad. Bitcoin keeps gaining momentum.
This is what the OP meant I think:

I've been following a few Bitcoin companies here in Finland, and as an earlier Bitcoin sceptic, I was surprised how much activity and money there is already in Bitcoin economy. I think a lot of investors are underestimating what's going on in Bitcoin world, because it's still so far away from the mainstream.
But many truly disruptive things were viewed as toys or pure idiocy in the early days. I'm speaking from the experience here. When we started Jaiku, a microblogging service similar to Twitter, in 2006, before Twitter and before Facebook's activity stream. At that time, a lot of people said that broadcasting and reading short mundane thoughts was the stupidest idea they had ever heard of. Fast-forward a few years and hundred of millions of people are doing it everyday.
Based on what I've seen, I'm starting to think that Bitcoin might be a similar phenomenon.
