Upvoted for the term clustercuddle. A couple of points:
1) It's probably not unusual to have $150 million in value tied up on the success or failure of a beta.
2) Calling this "beta" was a stretch. I'm of the opinion that the first "beta" should almost always still be called an "alpha" until in-the-wild bug fixes. However, it would be difficult to get $150 million invested on alpha software. It may have been beta for etherium, but it was definitely alpha of DAO.
