Im holding 0 ETH for the record, but if the ICO madness continues, everyone buying needs to buy some ETH.

nah. never. i hope everyone involved gets rich and has a happy ending. i don't understand it well enough and i don't think anybody other than vitalik does either, and maybe he's doing so much blow these days he's forgotten too.

Anecdote. While he was selling the Ethereum idea to investors here, I asked Vitalik what he thought Bitcoin's prospects were. I'll never forget the look on his face. Totally dismissive, with a hint of disgust. It was visceral. It's as if I stuck a bad ham under his nose.


Why? I know he made a shit tonne of money but why the disgust towards something that treated him so well? Because he sold the majority of his coins at a much lower price? Or because it would go against his idea of pumping various shitcoins for his own benefit?

I think he squared it with himself with reference to our 'technical limitations'.
