I was scanning through the Etherscan blockchain information today, checking out the EOS Crowdsale, and I began looking for large purchases of EOS. Among the many .1 Ether orders for EOS, I found, just a few minutes an order for $1.5 million USD worth of EOS tokens. Wow!
I am still looking into everything EOS related and what interests me the most is the scaling mechanics. This does look so far like the killer platform, the more I learn about it.
Check out Etherscan, where you can see the EOS Crowdsale live: https://etherscan.io/address/0xd0a6e6c54dbc68db5db3a091b171a77407ff7ccf

The other article that was written recently about Dan is shallow and lacks intelligence. It appears that the journalist who wrote that didn't do enough studying.
Dan Larimer is perhaps the most undervalued genius of our time. Yeah, a lot of us know this, but most of the world hasn't been able to grasp his revolutionary ideas.
Check out the official EOS website: https://eos.io/
If only I had that amount of money to invest in an ICO 😵
Is there somewhere that, easily, shows the total amount invested in EOS so far?
only what i saw on etherscan website.
Nice find. I think they will atleast double or triple their investment within a year, they might sell their position to get their initial investment back and hold on to the rest. I just get anxiety for $100 or $200 transactions, $1.5 million WOW!
P.S. I wanted to thank you for the 20 SBD and for selecting my dream, it really made my day!
Thank you for this. I am right now checking everything about EOS, because I want to be part of this too. Yes, someone big noticed the potential of it and has a strong believe in EOS - that is why he/she is already putting in a looooot of money. :) And then go looong and wait for the creative superbrain Larimer's miracles.
Btw, you mentioned in on of your comments to me, to share with you my new #steempearls article. I switched the steempearls to this account, because I didn't like the name of the blackwidow spider anymore. So, here is the link of the new steempearls article: https://steemit.com/steempearls/@tabea/steempearls-12
Sorry to hijak this post but just wanted to say I love your dash articles. Much needed after Amanda left!
Thanks for the input upvotet and following you
lulz
Hahaha! 🤣 Hilarious! Needed that laugh...Thank you! BTW @stellabelle - Got damn! What a motherload! BTW - your medium article from Feb on Steemit vs. Busy with the cool train pics brought me here. So Thank U
"Dan Larimer is perhaps the most undervalued genius of our time."
Hear hear @stellabelle !
And not only he can think up really revolutionary ideas, he can make them happen.
Good for us who noticed that in time ;-)
and he moves very fast!
sometimes too fast maybe :-)
... but then again, I think in a long run it will be for the best.
most humans can't keep up with him
well obviously, people usually don't keep up with geniuses :-)
(just ex-post they say: "of course! it is so simple!" :-)
Yes, I'm also watching this company. Very interesting investment, well that you also wrote about it. Now I'm interested even more) to be honest I'm not strong in Crypto-currency) recently found out about its existence)
Absolutely insane ... and I still don't understand barely anything to do with Cryptocurrency but just wow! Also just found your page through your guide for beginners so thanks a lot for taking the time to write and share that post! 👍 😊
It may be good news for the EOS crowdsale, but I am thinking the number of people we could feed with $1.5 Million USD. We have everything to make it possible but it still doesn't happen. For this one, I won't say "waow" but "ooohhh".
Makes me wonder if the banks are messing with us!!
Ya just know they ain't gonna let things be as they are..LOL
I wonder why whales would not - at this stage of the ICO - take a follow up round to dump a Huuge amount of ETH in. Other whales do not necessarily follow as they many have shot their wad already and getting an acceptable number of coins becomes less easy when one party has contributed a lot already.
Or would whales want to have more security on the actual price they will get in the end (and thus are more inclined to invest in the then current round)?
Many whales are waiting for EOS to hit the secondary markets so they can work the exchanges. Expect epic pump and dumps as the whales accumulate.
Means somebody know's something that we might not know. You don't end up having 1.5 million USD and dump it into something that you're not sure about. The person behind that purchase knew something, that's for sure. Kind of gives us a a hint, doesn't it ?
technically it was Ether. I only used USD to convey value.
it could be a group of people.
Perhaps a hedge fund built around investing in crypto? :)
Are you pumping? If not, this is the exact type of thinking that indicates a bubble and makes me wary of investing. Especially into something without a product or investment cap. The world is full of rich trust fund babies who have no clue what they are doing. I would say the ones scamming rich people out of their money are smarter lol.
I would say rich people.
Great info, thanks for sharing! EOS is definitely becoming the hot topic nowadays, and when you see people investing $1.5 million into it, it makes you wonder how much you should invest. My motto, "invest only what you can afford to lose." That way, you're always winning :)
The main thing I don't get with EOS is the huge market cap that's projected here. From my understanding we're looking at over 1 Billion tokens valued at .25 ETH each. The valuation would put it at over $75B, which is larger than even Bitcoin. How does this kind of valuation and level of fund raising make sense for something that hasn't quite proved its mettle?
I know there is a lot of positive energy around EOS but something just doesn't quite click for me here.
Is it clicking yet??? EOS is the one to rule them all.
Holy Crap! I was thinking about waiting to sign up, but I agree everything looks really nice on EOS.
people go crazy on EOS, kinda overrated now.
This is a very interesting distribution model. I like it. I think it reflects Dan's principles very well.
i would have to agree with you. It's the best distribution i've seen
Can you take part in this eos sale if your in the states? I thought you couldn't!
The Blockchain doesn't care about your color, creed, nationality....or location:-) It's Illegal to have an ice cream cone in your back pocket in my State but guess what?
I'm not advocating for you to break the rules in any way...I think.
That was my thought too. So many ICOs have exclusions for US residents.
Not legally.
It's actually legal for US residents to participate....it's just is a legally gray area for the companies to allow US residents to participate. I'm sure many US residents do participate by just getting one of those VPNs...costs $10 or less for a month.
cyberghost is free. Or at least it used to be.
Good to know...not that I have the need for something like that!
LOL
"Dan Larimer is perhaps the most undervalued genius of our time."
Many geniuses in history were only recognized as such after they had left their 3D skinbags. But we can make sure that Dan will be known to the masses in the not so distant future. It takes an army of folks to explain to Jill and Joe what Dan has actually accomplished in the post Satoshi world ;-)
true.
I am awestruck. I do not think I will ever fully get a hang of these cryptocurrencies. Thank you for sharing!
meep
wow, a strategic purchase indeed. The investors should join us here too and buy steem because steem will do so good in the future.
Also See my blog post for a link to collect free crypto, a one time opportunity.
Success
I upvoted !
Im waiting for your upvote please! ;)
Strange the rueters article didnt mention US citizens are forbidden from buying eos tokens
Dayamn.
Thanks for the links. I'll have to check them out.
Man I really need to research EOS, I looked at so many posts of it in my feed but never read them. But 1.5 million $? That guy must have a lot of trust in it
That was me. Sorry ;)
LOL
lulz
I've been looking into EOS for the past few days and IMO the only sensible time to buy in during the ICO would be at the very end of each purchase period. This is the only way to determine roughly what price you will be buying in at.
a * (b/c)
a = Total ETH contributed by an authorized purchaser during the period.
b = Total number of EOS Tokens available for distribution in the period.
c = Total ETH contributed by all authorized purchasers during the period.
Actually That's me
@stellabelle great post as ever upvoted have a great day :) hope ya get more eos looks interesting will have to check out more info
Great
Thanks for sharing.
wow! that some big buy
I have purchased today some EOS too 🙂
holy moly....
Can someome Just buy Steem like that on my behalf? Anybody?😣
I'm personally waiting for it to be listed on an exchange or something before I touch it. Too many ICO's these days and most will dump even when listed so better to just hold off.
The only thing that stops me from participating is that I have to go through Ethereum... Otherwise I would have jumped at it on day 1 :)
for now I am not specially convince since there was a lot of hype without the tech details. So I need to study a bit what they are actually proposing.
Thank you,
I'll keep my eyes on Dan Larimer
This guy (or company) is betting a lot on eos and I think he isn't so stupid !
Great info Stella resteemed.. I am still in the learning stage.. I will check this out .. thanks :)
The point I like about EOS is a possibility to buy tokens during almost a year.
wow, though its EOS!, we all would if we could right xD
hmm makes me really wonder what the value is going to be after this initial set
someone went nuts... some corporate investor?
Or a nervous central bank???
wonder if they knew what they were investing on.
Good info!
Did you get some yourself @stellabelle?
I was interested... but a bit afraid to invest on ICOs really, should be a good investment in the middle/long run, tho.
Thanks for sharing!
I live in the US.
Says most of the investors lol
Dan is definitely the man, I did a post just for him, check it out https://steemit.com/bitshares/@daudimitch/bitshares-steemit-and-eos
His been killing it for awhile now
Has anyone started a contest to guess what the total 5 day EOS ICO will bring in?!
