Liquidity is an emergent property. It doesn't change the fact that when you buy something the money moved.
The share is under your control, the money isn't. Being able to convert it at will doesn't change that. Also how much if anything it's worth when you go to convert it isn't under your control either.

Yes that guy is extremely weird, he should delegate operations and community management to someone who isn't weird and stick to development.
