Did the team accept USD for the ICO? Don't think so. They took a bunch of BTC. Does Bittrex take USD for ION? Don't think so. So no IONs were purchased with USD, so stop bragging about these massive gains in whatever currency makes it look the best. IONs were purchased with BTC, so be honest and quote that price.
For ION ICO, There were about 25 altcoins coins that were used to purchase the ION. Everyone paying a value of 20 cents. The different coins were exchanged and credited BTC to Ionomy LTD. These investors didn't purchase with Bitcoin.
That's fine. Either way, no USD was used. So stop shilling with USD values. All you are doing is misleading your marks.
USD is a simple point of reference that everyone is familiar with.

Why do you think Bittrex quote USD values ? are Bittrex misleading their marks too

Bittrex isn't using the USD value to make their coin look good. Hell, Bittrex doesn't even have their own coin. Try again.
Do you really not get my point ? ... Today only nerds, geeks & crypto enthusiasts understand sats.
$350 USD = .19 BTC = 19,000,000 Satoshis.... someone new to crypto which value is more meaningful
Bitrex don't have a coin................. seriously
