It didn't seem like Momoshiki did that out of spite.. it seemed like he peered into Boruto's future and realized that Boruto is special, BUT he would need that power in order to succeed at whatever he is destined to succeed at?? Perhaps. It might not be purely altruistic, though. It might be that he simply wants to continue his own legacy by perpetuating his chakra, or perhaps it will allow him to exert his will over Boruto somehow. Maybe it will make it possible for him to be reborn. Maybe it will even be a beacon that draws more Otsutski to the world.

While I personally think it'll probably just be a power source similar to a Curse Seal, there are certainly lots of other possibilities. We should just agree that no one can definitely ascertain what the motivation behind Momoshiki´s action was. His behaviour was consistently hostile & condescendingly towards any humans he encountered, therefore any altruistic motives, can be regarded as unlikely, with a tendency towards 0% probability. This notion is enhance, when you consider the selfish nature of his behaviour, towards his comerades, who he sees as nothing more than energy fuel towards the achievement of more power.

The only thing, that we, the audience, can deduce through his speech. Is the foreshadowing of future events the author wants us to know about and Momoshiki´s capability of an advanced Byakugan ability, which enables him to predict or possibly even see the future of only other individuals, depending on the limitations, the author intends to bestow upon him, as the story unfolds itself. As for his appereance before Boruto. We do not know how he did it! We can only derive his ability to talk in etherial form to Boruto, through other characters who have already performed similar tasks by manipulating Chakra. Examples include but are not limited too: Minato, Kushina, Hagoromo and Obito.

Those characters had the capabilities to influence people and imbue their chakra into them beyond their death. How Momoshiki did it, doesn´t matter. considering his apparent superiority in powerlevel compared to most of those characters. What I found more interesting is the fact that refers to himself as a god, which implies that the Ōtsutsuki Clan doesn´t consist of interplanetary Aliens, but rather divine beings that look down upon humans due to their inherent nature.
