It seems plausible most of Ethereum's IPO came from Vitalik Buterin's father Dimitry Buterin, who is a multi-millionaire.  Coming from a father who is rich also allowed Vitalik the opportunity to edit the Bitcoin Magazine, without worrying about cost of living, and later to drop out of college to pursue a startup like Ethereum.

If that is true, this made them some serious cash in a very shirt time.. Amazing how people trust this coin.

Really? Is this the best you can come up with? You're going to have to FUD harder than this to convince me.

The Toronto Bitcoin Meetup circa 2013 had several BTC millionaires...
Several venture capital dudes always sniffing around...
And a lot of heavyweight Dev talent like Buterin, Peter Todd and others.

That Toronto Bitcoin Meetup effectively turned into an Ethereum Meetup...
Where the core BTC veterans could probably easily come up with $5-10 million to launch...
Then raising another $10 million from around the world.

These people took a big risk at about $0.30/ETH which today trades at about $1.35...
In addition, the Canadians made another 30% on the USDCAD exchange since 2013.

But I can assure you the Founders are not selling...
They have a 3 year plan, unlimited funding from venture, a super-liquid crypto...
And are the only crypto with a good shot at dethroning BTC within 2 years.

Yeah.  I was thinking about this.  I was thinking the insiders bought large allocations of ETH from the presale then proceeded to dump them on the clueless when it was listed in the exchanges.  Of course it was hyped and the people bought it.

Now that there is this possibility that Vitalik senior was involved, I wouldn't be surprised if it was so...

So basically they funded it mostly themselves then profited for it.  It's a good plan, and I have nothing against it.  But how is the Ethereum wallet/software?  If it's any good then good job overall.  If not, then fuck you.
