Price is going up like crazy.
Ether went up.
three or four thousand percent this year um or in numbers it was at the beginning of the year ten dollars now it's at 320 or something like that um so of course that's a big factor um so speculation is a big factor currently those token sales are a big factor for um for ether going up because people need ether to participate in the token sale not your token sales on like bitcoin

to execute arbitrary code so you can create any set of rules.
And the thing that people did first is apparently to organize those token sales.
So for example, our token sale was an auction and the whole mechanism of the auction was completely controlled by the blockchain.
So we didn't touch anything.
So everything was kind of done in a decentralized way.
It's really easy to use, but especially easy to use for developers.
