Multiplication by i turns a position vector through a right angle. If velocity always equals that turned vector, a point starting at one travels around the unit circle rather than growing radially.

the velocity at that time will be a 90 degree rotation of that position.If e to the t describes your position on a number line as a function of time, then you start at the number 1, and what this equation is saying is your velocity, the derivative of position, is always equal to that position.
