Alright, this post will fall on some deaf ears but i felt the need to write this.
Satoshi created Bitcoins to be decentralized monetary system; not controlled anyone but the masses. That is the principal philosophy behind crypto-currencies.
We the people, have the power. Not governments, not big corporations or money hungry basterds.
As many of you heard, Ethereum was funded by goldman.
This is a defining point in crypto-currencies. If ETH gets funded and momentum builds, there should be cause for concern. Goldman's brothers and sisters will see the same opportunity and will start creating their own centralized monetary systems.
There will be a time when governments create their own digital currencies, and they will be controlled.. widely accepted too. We need to draw a line and consider these billion if not trillion dollar corporations trying to grab a major share in this game.
I'm not saying not to invest, you can do whatever you want. But, just think about the consequences for the future of currencies.
After all, you are getting peanuts from their IPO. You will not make a nice return like, Nxt, MSC or any other IPO so far. Your investment will essentially be degraded over time.
