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.

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.

LOL... In 2 years?? nah.
