A BLAST FROM THE PAST: Vitalik's post about ETHER presale in 2014

I was looking for some info on eth price at launch and price evolution and I stumbled upon this small gem telling the story of ETH presale (seems ages ago if you are new to crypto - new meaning <6-12months).

Some funny/amazing info regarding ETH presale:

Quote

we have to date received over 25000 BTC from selling over 50 million ETH

Quote

A total of 6670 transactions have been made, with values ranging from the minimum 0.01 BTC to a high of 500 BTC

Quote

all purchases were for 2000 ETH / BTC

(btc price ranged in that period between 600 and 800usd)

Quote

The largest single purchase was 500 BTC (1 million ether), followed by one at 466 BTC (933,580 ETH) and 330 BTC (660,360 ETH)

somebody bought 1 000 000 eth !!!

Now you've seen the numbers, you do the math... Grin
