Ethereum turns 5! (7/8)

Ethereum has spent most of it’s existence as number #2 to Bitcoin and it doesn’t look to be slowing down anytime soon.

It wasn’t always bright skies for Ethereum; back in 2016 a hacker found a loophole in the coding of Ethereum’s DAO project, stealing 70 million worth of funds(at the time).
