ICO's relate more heavily to the 1990's dot com boom. When you're talking about bitcoin, it's as if you're talking about Microsoft amongst the realm of all of the "dot com" companies that were started during the time. Of course, not all of them succeeded. Instead, only a few prevailed. When talking about the recent bitcoin rise, it's fairly isolated from all of the ICO business. I don't know what the Forbes writer was thinking or what research he did when writing that article.
