This graph compares what it would cost in order to buy 1 one-hundredth of a percent of all tokens minted in the first 10 years.
The Zcash price of $250 is a snapshot of the price as of Nov 9th, 2017. The "Filecoin (first hour)" price of $2.25 factors in a 15% discount off of $2.65 (the price during the first hour of the sale) as a result of the 2-year unlocking option. The "Filecoin (advisor sale)" price of $0.64 factors in a 15% discount off of $0.75 as a result of the 2-year unlocking option. The Tezos price of $0.39 is the effective price paid on the first day of the main sale, taking into account the 20% bonus and an average Bitcoin price of $2350 on July 1st.
