Exactly, I think there are far too many newcomers who simply equate ICO and Crypto 1:1 and do not differentiate between the two. Cryptos have been with us for close to 10 years and ICO's are a more recent phenomenon.

Unfortunately since most ICO are riding on the backs of Crypto, when many of them eventually fail or turn out to be little more than outright scams, it will leave another black stain on the entire Crypto community as well.
