Tezos discussion

[CoinCidental]

In US dollars, does anyone know what the largest amount received in contributions for an ICO?

I think I was reading that Brock Pierce's was the largest to date raising 100 million. If that's tru this has already surpassed right?

Yup, currently Tezos is at aprox US$ 135,866,523.33 it will certainly surpass Bancor record.

EOS raised ~680k ETH for 20% of the supply, so about ~$170m

That's the largest crowdsale ever in $

eos RAISED $185MM
TEZOS HAS RAISED NEARLY 140Mil with 12 days still to go lol

"Nobody has a crystal ball...BTC and ETH (while unlikely), could be half their current price by the end of next month."

Pretty likely, shakeout coming.
However, I'm not selling any because in the big picture it will go much higher. Think about those who dumped at $600-$800 on btcs way to sub $200, only never to buy them back. They felt pretty good for a year or so, now not so much.

Timing the market is way too hard.   I have tried to just hold everything long.   Every time I have sold any type of crypto, I have ended up regretting it a few months-a year later.   If you don't need the money for living expenses, or another investment that you think you can do better on...the best thing to do is definitely just hold and ride out the highs and lows.   I mean even LTC...if you managed to hold through what I think was multiple years flat in the $3s...now you are pretty happy.

Thanks...yeah I thought EOS was the biggest one to date, but I wasn't sure.  11 days more is pretty crazy...I wish they would have put either a hard cap...or definitely a shorter contribution period.   This project is probably waaaaay overfunded now.  

At this point investors are just financing Bentley's and 5 star hotel vacations for the Tezos team...lol

Don't get me wrong, I still allocated a little bit towards this, but I don't have super high expectations.

Is the 20% bonus even ended yet?

Yeah, but due to the bonus schedule most people will have contributed during the initial period and we will likely see fewer contributions near the end.

[Bitcoinismoney]

Anyone know what block number the Tezos ICO started on? I'm trying to figure out when end of the 20% bonus period is going to be.

Even ripple, under half a penny for about 3 years and then it finally shot up to half a dollar...

Yeah I remember it sitting so flat for seemingly forever. I remember hearing them talk about making different banking relationships but it still sat at a fraction of a penny for days on end. Almost bought some of that too but at that time (I shouldn't even say this bc it's the dumbest strategy) it felt almost too boring because the bitcoin volatility was part of the fun in the beginning for me.

But yeah even Ripple if you could have bought a ton for essentially a couple thousand bucks and just patiently rode it out, the profits ended up being monstrous


Made the mistake over and over. So with this one, I just put some in (not life changing money), gonna stick with it, and if I end up being the bag holder at the end, so be it. I just don't want to look back again saying "I knew I should have done that but didn't."

The 20% bonus is for all transactions included before or on Bitcoin block # 474022

[mladen00]

57 blocks 2 bitcoin block 474022

[lofegs]

Over $150 million and keeps counting 

[coinling]

How many confirmations do you need to be before the 474022 ? is one enough ?
What about Ethereum donations, what is the last block included ? the last one before 474022 ?

One of the most successful ico ever.With sitting on so much funds, I think it should be easier for Tezos to hire best people and implent their plan. .

One of the most successful ico ever.With sitting on so much funds, I don't think Tezos will hire best people and implent their plan, why should they care? it would take money away from their vacations and yachts.

Let's face it folks, the good icos are in the rear view mirror, the only ones currently getting rich are the developers. Just stop making millionaires.

[Asimmo]

Ridiculous funds raised..

I doubt it's legit. The numbers are probably made up to create fomo, who knows for sure how much they have really raised?

[cryptodv]

For Tezos ICO, can we send funds from Coinbase or any other exchange? I can't find any info regarding that.

We've already created hundreds of millionaire developers I guess.
