Reddit heard plenty before 1000$

I was there the week it was released. Lost 100 bitcoins to a hard drive crash and never looked back. They use to literally hand them out like candy. Mt gox happened and I never took it seriously ever again.

If I asked my mother what Reddit is right now, she'd have no idea what I was saying.
If your mother has never heard of Instagram, Netflix, eBay, or Yahoo, that doesn't mean nobody has heard of them. They're still almost as popular as Reddit.
Instagram, Netflix and Yahoo are world brands. Reddit is mostly anglophone.
I lost a batch on MtGox but it looks like I might get something back.

I'm quite grateful the trustee sold off a few hundred million dollars worth at around $12k. At least there are some funds available to pay out to creditors.
