In some of the top comments in the long thread, some people are challenging the reason he said sold because of the timing.

"bjman2222 - Sorry dude, I am glad you're back but I don't buy your reasons for selling AT ALL. It's BULLSHIT.

I watched your sell wall live. You sold in October of 2014--the scaling debate and Roger Ver were nonissues then. The biggest issue was that the Silkroad coins were being systematically liquidated and flooding the market. Also, many people thought you were very smart to sell in Oct. 2014. Remember that after the Bitstamp hack in Jan. 2015, bitcoin traded as low as $160. You had a large portion of 2015 to get back in and buy for below $300.

The scaling debate you are talking about did not begin in earnest until the fall of 2015. Roger Ver himself did not start to become demonized until late 2016--and that was mostly because of BU, which was not an issue in Oct. 2014."
