(41297 * 0.0063) + 930.96250857 = 1191.13360857 BTC

1191.13360857 BTC * 442 USD/BTC = 526481.05 USD

I dont think any company in the world has ever raised so much money with a single post on a forum.

Spotify, YouTube and twitch began with much less money.

It will be fun!

It will indeed be fun, but it's not true that we've raised more than anyone else. Ethereum etc. raised way, way more than us. Of course Ethereum had 1 year of going to all kinds of conferences, a lot of marketing, meeting with VCs etc. which we didn't have. I say this to bring realism into this, this funding, while impressive, is nowhere near 'too big to fail'. IOTA's success will depend on the community around it being smart and not preoccupied with the price fluctuations. If IOTA evolves into that typical 'price speculation preoccupation', it is guaranteed to fail, no matter what we do on our end.

So for everyone that has partaken in the crowdsale: start thinking about how you can contribute to IOTA's success rather than dreaming about how valuable it can become:)
