I'm inclined to agree, though I'm heavily invested in EOS so I may be a little biased :)  

I actually think, in the long run, the bigger part of that announcement was the 1 billion block.io have promised to use to support startups building on EOS, that is huge.  I was hoping EOS could hit a 100billion market cap in 3-5 years (or ~100USD per coin, minus the 5% inflation) but if that 1 billion is used well, on top of that tech, a far bigger number is not inconceivable.  Screw the moon, these guys are chasing voyager.
