...... Also, what was the price during pre-ICO?
I don't think the price is different from the pre-ICO, except for the bonus structure. I think the price was also 5,000 per ETH.
What's interesting is that about the time this rolls out, the Russian exchanges will be preparing to open. Once the new Kremlin crypto bill is signed sometime in March, this project could become be a matter of national pride. Remember, this project is built on the Ethereum platform, and Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, is Russian born. Vitalik is also reported to be responsible for Putin's reversal.
Given that the Russian Federation is excluded from the winter Olympics in South Korea, in February, this project may be seen as another way of boosting national pride, and if the oligarchs get on board in any way, they could drive this right out of the ball park.
The whole project has been under the radar, especially given it's special finetech name, and a domain which likely cost a fortune to buy.
Interestingly, if I wanted to buy a tribble on the original Star Trek TV series, I would have likely paid in federation credits. Every serious Trekkie knows this, and there are millions of fans, worldwide.
Gene Roddenberry, the founder of Star Trek, deliberately made money seem unimportant in the future, which made many scenes difficult to write. "The Trouble with Tribbles" episode with Cyrano Jones was one of the few exceptions, where we saw federation money come into the light.
The core team of Credits are primarily from the Russian Federation of .... the future? Just some thoughts.
