5 years ago user Ursium was downvoted -7 and railed for saying Ethereum would be bigger than Reddit, his only response: RemindMe! five years "We Won!"

It was July 17 2017 and Eth was just a toddler at 3 years old when the legend wrote:

"Because the trolls have blinkers they can't fathom that Ethereum is much bigger than any individual, company, and of course much bigger than reddit itself, just like bitcoin is (thankfully) much bigger than bitcointalk.

When the technology inevitably goes mainstream and is used as part of everyone's cars, phone and favorite app, no one will care or even remember the trolls hate-filled comments, but everyone will be aware of the entrepreneurs that busted their chops to get it there. Of course, there will still be hardcore haters on some subreddit ranting like old syphilitics hicks about how blockchain got subverted by 'big businesses' and how unfair it all is.

I can't wait."

Pretty uncontroversial by today's standards but he was met with replies like:

"I don't know why you're even allowed to post on here anymore. You're directly responsible for so much lost money, and calling anyone a troll who doesn't want to bail your ass out is just ridiculous."

"The glassy eyed optimism in that post is simply scary. Something tells me you're deeply invested but not a software engineer or computer scientist.

It's not about haters and lovers. It's about greedy people crying for profits versus people that just want Ethereum to succeed long term."

and

"I would assume in five years time there is jail/prison time involved and/or heavy fines."

Instead of going back and forth with these Redditors he simply posted:

RemindMe! five years "We Won!"

The rest is history. I'm not going to take this as an opportunity to boost those invested in a true crap coin that is too hopped up on hopium to believe their coin is doomed because of a hard lack of utility but I do bring it up to encourage you to have the wherewithal to withstand slander on a project you truly believe in and and have a deep understanding of.

If you are interested in the entire thread and the article they were discussing that sparked this dialogue, here's the ending of the link: ethereum/comments/4sgihm/ethcore_blog_post_in_support_of_a_hard_fork/ -(cant't post the whole thing for sub rules)

Stay bullish my friends!
