In that event, the swap is opened up anyway at the end of month 37. No matter what, you get to exchange your FUTR back for ETH. That's the deal.

In this sense, it is possible to see FUTR from a very interesting risk standpoint: on the one hand, you get a new (diversified) token holding in Ether, while on the other hand, you get Ether minus fees, which means your MAXIMUM downside ALL BEING EVEN otherwise with no Ether price movement at all in 3 years is ... 15%. Your maximum upside? Well, for one, there is no maximum upside, but further consider even if you do switch back for the Ether without all the levels being filled, Ether will likely go up many, many times in 3 years. (This would create massive value for FUTR however and hence there would be lots of mining of FUTR so unlikely the levels do not fill up if this is the case.) Well, in the event it goes up a lot, would you really, honestly hold out with Ether for the FULL price rise? Not many of us would. We love to think that we would hold out for a 33,000% gain, but very few of us have that level of risk tolerance in reality. Therefore, one other more "human" sort of benefit of FUTR is that it can be used as a mechanism in which self-discipline is exercised with respect to saving Ether.

We did not think of this ourselves, but rather a couple of FUTR buyers have been telling us this was a big reason for them to jump on board so thought we would share
