I suppose that all depends on the definition of "success".
My definition of success is perhaps modest to some, but it is still far away:
Bitcoin being the protocol and the coin of the internet realm.
If it achieves this, it could well become much more, but this is the success for which it is designed.
Knowing your way of thinking, yes; it is a modest target for something that incorporates so many different things in just one package. Maybe the "beginning of success" would've been more appropriate.
