Just curious if the Donator and VIP memberships are ever updated or is it correct that it is $2 million USD to be VIP?
with the current price of BTC to UDS? then yes. as far as I know, the price in BTC is not updated. the price of VIP and Donator has always been the same which is 50BTC. if you are thinking that it would be unfair for people right now to pay that much BTC, then you have to realize that it would be unfair to the people who already paid 50BTC in order to get the Donator/VIP title.

This comment makes very little sense to me. 

In other words, fuck those nonsense theories of acting as if those 50 bitcoin that might have been spent prior to 2013 could not have been replaced for a few hundred dollars (if that much).. back when the VIP amount was established.

In other words, it would be fair to have the VIP price come down and to have some kind of a peg to dollar value rather than staying at 50 BTC which is outrageous at this point to expect any mere mortal to be ready, willing or able to pay that amount for forum VIP status. 

Sure, the VIP amount could be $1k, $10k or some other reasonable amount. .(not 50x $40,0000 = $2 million.. seems ridiculous to me to keep the amount pegged to a strict BTC value when the price of real BTC in the real world has surely changed over the years). ... so if $1k were considered a reasonable amount, then such amount would end up being somewhere in the ballpark of 0.025 BTC these days.. which seems reasonable and comparable to me..

Of course, when someone acquired their VIP status will have varied and will surely affect what the dollar cost would have been for them at the time that they had paid the 50 BTC for such status (unless they acquired it in another way),... So, surely there may have been some folks who also acquired their VIP status at later dates.. such as after March 2017 when BTC prices went up beyond $1k for the last time (so far).
