Naturally, if you are surprised to see this post, because you just woke up and have not had time to read anything that has been explained by others, is not the information provided by "Lantind" above is very clear that the topic created by "xbiv2" was when he was still in the newbie position and even then he (xbiv2) created in mid 2017, and at that time Ethereum was also experiencing a gradual increase in prices and was not so expensive, because the highest price achieved by Ethereum was only at the end of 2017 not in mid-2017. ( sometimes we are considered stupid by others because we do not want to read and go along with us without wanting to trace it first)
