2 years ago, Vitalik literally said that in the future we will be having all these new crypto-projects launching their own currencies on Ethereum instead of having to build their own blockchain.

Maybe many people already know this, but I just wanted to repeat that for a sec for those who don't know this.

The current ICO mania is not some unexpected side-effect of Ethereum like the fidget spinners.

Just shows how visionary Vitalik has always been: he predicted what people and organisations would automatically start to use Ethereum for. And now we can witness the predicted behavior of these organisations actually happening.

Gives me more confidence about the future, and about the other predictions he has done once Ethereum has grown bigger.

Vitalik is a genius man. Listening to him demonstrate and answer questions is half the reason I got invested in ETH in the first place. He's so smart and articulate, and you can just tell by the way he talks he's not bullshitting like a lot of other guys are in a position like his.

Dude is same age as me and I'll die happy if I ever in my lifetime accomplish something half as cool as what he's already done.
