As far as criticism of Bitcoin goes, this is about as superficial as it gets.
Judge what somebody says, not who he is.
EDIT: They are uneducated, in that any cursory research into the concept and history of Bitcoin would make it blatantly obvious that his remarks are wrong. There are two possibilities here; either he is being willfully ignorant, or he simply hasn't done his homework well enough. Given his reputation, I'm betting on the latter. The "uneducated" bit simply derives from him literally not having educated himself on the matter.
He is super duper important. But that doesn't validate his hasty shallow opinion on bitcoin in any way.
