First dip into EOS, is EOS easy to buy?

A Little Background:

Since the announcement of EOS by Dan Larimer without much detail at the start, everyone was waiting for the conference at consensus 2017 to get a peek at Dan's latest project.
I was one of those person that really wanted to know what EOS was about and when someone who was attending the conference posted a video of the presentation I immediately jumped on it. (I will leave a link to the presentation at the end of this blog post)

Of course after watching it my first reaction was: "this is the best project of the year, how do I invest?", well I discovered that the process was not gonna be the standard ICO (Initial Coin Offering) model but based on the AGS (angelshares for those that were there at the time) model where each day a defined number of tokens go on sale and this amount is divided equally according to the amount of ETH sent by people.
I think this model is better because it gives the same opportunity to everyone to buy tokens during the ICO year even if you decided to invest later you would still be able to get a good price for EOS.

How come I only invested in EOS today?

Well when the ICO started I realised it was gonna be on the Ethereum blockchain as a smart contract and that I needed an ethereum wallet which I didn't have at the time. Since I wasn't experienced with ethereum and how their smart contract worked I thought I would wait a bit and do some more research before sending money on a chain I didn't understand.
The fact that people were going crazy and a lot of FOMO(Fear Of Missing Out) was happening during the first days of funding did help me in my decision of waiting a bit longer to buy into EOS.
During the first 10 periods(excluding period 0 which was a bit special) it was more than $4M USD going into EOS everyday with a peak of $12M USD which equals a price of $6 per EOS, I thought that the market wouldn't be able to sustain this rate for the next 340 days and that there will be a time when I can buy in cheaper. My goal was to buy EOS at a lower price then on period 0 which was 0.86c USD per EOS. After watching the price for the last 2 months I finally saw my opportunity as the price started to decline below $1 USD for the past week or so. (I am using https://eosscan.io/ to watch the price)

Making It Happen:

This morning less than 3 hours before the auction ended the price was about 0.3c and I decided to buy some, although in the end the final price was around 0.58c it was still a good deal and I am happy with it.
If you check the price history period 73 was actually the cheapest day so far to buy EOS but I am sure other opportunity will arise in the coming month considering the current bloodbath around crypto so if you want to invest get your ETH ready.

The Tools:

If you care to know I have followed https://eos.io/ instructions to buy the coins and for the moment I am keeping them on a wallet provided by metamask.io which is a chrome extension, it works in pair with the eos website/distribution app. It is very easy to setup and use, if you do use it please don't forget to backup the wallet to avoid any problems down the road because it would be a shame to lose those precious EOS tokens.
For the moment I am keeping the tokens there because I still have to understand how it all work as far as registering the tokens and claiming then, I still have some more research to do on the subject and on EOS in general, I will keep you informed about that.

Anyway thank you for your time and feel free to leave your reactions in the comments below and I will see you next time.
