fuck that

can you explain why? I like more info than just "fuck that"

After every presale and release i've seen the price went down every time (and eventually the coin died).

Also if they had confidence in their ''revolutionary coin'' they wouldnt do a presale, especially a presale in BTC, the only true crypto.

Why would they want BTC if their crap was better ?

What i see is the same old alt coin scam.

Maybe you are holding every coin too long. I had a great investments in some of these. I had a 600% profit on selling some of these coins after the presale. After some time a lot of these coins are dumped, which is when the price falls, you should definitely get out before that happens.
But for Ethereum invested amount is already 3600 BTC, and I doubt investors will be profitable on this one. Price will probably keep going down.

They are still making a lot of money for funding the project they have
Looking at the site its 7,182,144 ETH
Or near 3600 Bitcoin * 600 = 2.15 million Shocked

https://www.ethereum.org/

Look like they have a lot of supporters and believers.

I am sitting this one out as I have seen too many coins end up badly.

I think this will be fail just like the maidsafe IPO

On the other hand there is no rush invovled in this one..

You 'should' be able to wait at least 13 days and get ether for the same price - unless they change it

How did maidsafe IPO failed?

I guess I need more time to observe. It's true that there area lot of professional developers in Ether, but I doubt if their fame can really attract investment. It's not that easily accepted by the public.

i initially thought it was the ether that johnny depp was on in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Why should I buy in an IPO when the technology is already outdated.

NXT is almost the same tech as Ethereum. But already released and solid. No risk investment.
NEM is also almost the same. Alpha release working like a charm. No risk investment.

what is his motivation of doing this? - It makes not too much sense, if ether only sees an inflation of 28% per year and the ipo buyers probably will not sell below initial price

You know Mircea
Well perhaps not it but pretty much MP loves to point out the weaknesses in Bitcoin securities and tout Mpex but Mircea is pretty much saying Ethereum is seriously over valued and is willing to bet a futures contract on it.

In other words give me 1 BTC now I'll deliver these many coins for you next year and am presently offering a better exchange rate than Ethereum.
(MP) thinks that they can make a lot more Bitcoins than the true value of etherum will be at that date in the future.

@ Yes I think that Romanian would deliver and hold up their end of the deal in a year lol.

That said maidsafe is close to market again

AT IPO 17000 = 1 BTC
0.00004893 * 17000 = 0.83181

you have 2 week to think about it before they become more expensive.
you have 41 days to think about it before you can't buy them until their genesis block goes live.

The funniest thing I've seen all day is Mircea Popescu selling Ether futures, 5000/btc deliverable 2015-03-15.

lmao now that is funny

link please?

So mircea is willing to estimate this will crash and burn since the rate is now at 2000
Valuation of 40% of the current price in 1 year

Well considering mastercoin and maidsafe it seems like a risk worth considering from MP's view thanks that is an interesting find.

lol everytime i see an altcoins launching i'm laughing hard...

Do you noobs realize they're essentially making btc out of this? So they sell their ultimate coins for BTC and guess what noob? so they can hold more btc. All ppl behind these projects are already btc rich. If they truly believe their alt coins are.... "bitcoin2.0" they would have dumped their btc.

I'm not going to say this will make money, but people should realize they aren't trying to be BTC 2.0. It's a very different type of coin for a different purpose. I'm not even sure it'd be considered a cryptocurrency in the traditional sense.

As of now and as with any pre-sale, the risk is extremely high but the rewards may also be as high. Your call.

If you ask me, I'm not going to sit here and watch this pass or even make conclusions immediately. Read up, test, and decide. Wink

I'm trying to figure out if i should buy some or not! what do you guys think?

https://www.ethereum.org/

Purchase a little but not too much this is basically going to be on standby until December at least
Ethereum will not be tradable on the exchanges or released till this date.

But as others said BTC is the mainstay

So I invest $1000 but this is a $30 million IPO... that gives me 0.0000033% of all Ethereum. There's no guarantee that Ethereum will hit billions, either. Actually it's almost guarantee it won't hit $1 billion as the general public is largely not interested in buying into a ponzi scheme ran by rich investors.

The people who bought Mastercoin, Max Coin, Maidsafe, et cetera, would had made more money off NxT, Dogecoin, Dark, et cetera.
