I've said earlier that while many seem to suggest the current state of the market reminds them of early 2018 (due to the irrationally soaring altcoins led by DeFi and NFTs) I find the current state of the market more similar to mid-2017.

And I feel even more so today, as we've just seen Ethereum pass $2500 for the first time ever.

It really does fill me with nostalgia. It was the quick rise of Ethereum, alongside Bitcoin going up to $2000 for the first time, around May 2017 that first got me "seriously" into crypto. Sure, I had been familiar with Bitcoin for a few years already, but it was only with the introduction of smart contracts on a trustless and frictionless platform that got my mind spinning for real.

So I would listen to a respectable Ethereum podcast existing at the time, and hearing discussions about its potential and likely future that got me to put some money into crypto and start taking learning more seriously. This time, by doing.

So while Hive has taken nearly all of my bandwidth since then, it is still the promises made by Ethereum back then which got me here all fired up.

I'm just wondering how many more bright minds, eager creators and doers, or visionary thinkers will have gotten triggered to finally do the same this bull run.

In any case, seeing it breach $2500 made me remember a lot of the reasons I got so fascinated by blockchain technology to begin with, and for that, I am truly grateful.

So congratulations to all Ethereum hodlers in the Hive and LeoFinance community! The last few days must have tasted really nice!
