Lesson4: simple question about price converter

[NanaChiki]

Why I sent 0.02ETH in terms of USD into the FundMe contract is greater than MIMIMUM_USD value of 5e18?
I'm still confusing about a reason why FundMe contract was be able to receive 0.02ETH that might be less amount of minimum USD value.

@NanaChiki that depends on the price of an ether. If 20000000000000000 wei * ethPriceInWei >= 5e18 then the condition is satisfied.

0.02 ETH in wei is 20000000000000000.

I'm grateful for your help!

It depends on the price of the oracle itself.
Say the price of ETH is $2000, then 0.02ETH * $2000 = $40. In you case, if 0.05ETH is less than $5, then the price should be less than this: 0.02ETH * $250 = $5.
There are 2 options for you:

1. You can raise the price of the mock contract's price
2. you can send more ETH to cover it.

I totally understand this calculation.
Thanks for taking the time!!
