WOW from 300k to 2.4 BILLION?! That's crazy money.  I bet he's happy he made that investment.
Edited to add now that I'm watching:
"Maybe people don't realize how screwed up things were before we forked" - I think you hit the nail on the head there.  All you gotta do is witness the comments section on certain Stinc posts back in the day, where so many people were just, "yay, this is great, we believe" without any questions at all.  I mean, I'm a non-techie so I don't always understand the issues that the devs are discussing, but when I see people more knowledgeable than me on such issues having serious talks about "these problems need to be fixed," I believe them more than I believe simplistic rah-rah propaganda.  The people who unquestioningly took Stinc at their word that everything was FINE are the same who got excited over Bitconneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeect! ;)
