Based on the what has come so far to that BTC account. The top BTC's investment came into that address from:

Can some tell me if Ethereum is only meant/useful for developers? Can it be used/useful for a non IT person?

Bump + 22,216.44112997 BTC in the pot  Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked

You can use the apps that are built ontop but I doubt you have the skills to program those apps.

Anyway I think the immediate use-cases for normal non-it, non-finance guys is minimal.

And how do you know ethereum guys are not inflating the ether sold ? I mean they can fake the amount or autobuy their ether.

Faking the amount is not possible, as all BTC are still present. https://blockchain.info/address/36PrZ1KHYMpqSyAQXSG8VwbUiq2EogxLo2

(Not saying they don't send their own BTC there to inflate! Even though they would need to have a shitton BTC themselve!)

when i deposit BTC at the wallet, i get 3/6 confirmation and then my browser crahed. What next?

They explain it on the site, I think as long as you followed the instructions and downloaded the wallet before sending your btc you will be ok.

Yes i did it. now i get confirmation via email and all ok, waiting for blockchain

I just wish sometimes your conclusions matched.  Because I have no idea who to listen to right now.  :-/

this tread is moderated by bitcointalk admins, not a self moderated thread, if you want a coherent pitch you should stick to the threads Etherium can control.

My view is if this thing is going to take off you will know. just being in the Bitcoin space right now makes you a very early adopter.  you will know if Etherium is going to fly well before the masses.

me personalty, if you are looking at a 3 - 5 year horizon, this is a dud investment , you are better of in Bitcoin at the moment. if that changes you will know and you still won't be a laggard.

Still... 15600 BTC with so many days to go is ridiculous. How exactly are the investors planning on profiting from this?
If I want my money tied up in Cryptos for half a year I'd want a big reward potential

If the IPO ends at 15,000 bitcoin, you'll need a market capitalisation of about 30,000 bitcoin to be break even.

This assumes that the eventual supply around year 4 is taken into account on the free market (It probably will be) and also assumed around 25% inflation year 1 and less than that for each year after. The reason why it isn't less than 30,000 bitcoin is because of the founders share, if the founders share is massive then you'll need a lot more than 30,000.

This only really holds of course if the IPO ends at 15,000 bitcoin,

If the IPO ends at 40,000 bitcoin, you'll will need a market capitalisation of about 80,000 bitcoin for the investors to not lose money.

Litecoin is worth over 300,000 bitcoin, so put that into perspective.

However, IPO's always fall down in the first weeks of trading, so if you're a small fish, buying on the market after IPO will be your best bet. The larger amount you want to buy the more chance you'll move the market and end up paying more than IPO.

If you want about 50 bitcoins (or less) worth of Ether, you're going to get a good deal once this trades on the free market. However if you wanted 1,000 bitcoin worth of Ether, this IPO might be your best chance.

Also remember that even though Litecoin will fall from grace, the top spots are going to belong to increasingly competitive and useful coins, I'm not sure what coin will be number 2 to Bitcoin, I have bet on Monero because its utility is immediate and worthwhile. Ethereum could settle above Monero or close.

I think long term holders of Ether from this IPO will be safe, but the short term ride will be rough.

You base your conclusions on speculations. A coin or any asset for that gets its value from the Utility you get from owning it.

Until now I/or anyone else for that matter can not explain how exactly those who hold ether profit from it. There is a very bad monetarizing of the project itself. Also ether will not be used as currency or atleast there are not thoght to be used for that.

Explain that to me!

...I might buy some when it hits exchanges and drops like a stone Wink

Although understandable...  I view this^^^ to be a very risky approach.

My take on Ethereum...   In Vitalik we Trust!   Cool

Sure, but the potential reward will be much higher if my strategy works. If not, I (imo) only miss a small reward.

Wink In BCNext we trust , hehe
