I hope the ICO craze will end soon.
I don't think cryptos should be mixed with startups/kickstarters. Cryptos should be trustless, transparent and decentralized, ICOs are none of those things so using a blockchain platform doesn't really offer any benefits to them, in fact just giving a bad name to cryptos.
I dont think by the same way as you, icos are a good thing after all.
Maybe without them, there would not even be a quarter of all the altcoins that are on the top 20 at the moment.
In my opinion ICO's are great thing, but we are in the beginning... We have a lot of scammers but in the other hand we also have great companies coming ...
I agree with that "without them there would not even be a quarter of all the altcoins that are on the top 20 at the moment"
