I'm with you, @ashman. When I read the article he was asked what he thinks about ICOs. He stated he had no idea what an ICO is.
I do think there are parts of it that are in what look like a bubble. But, I think there are things about BTC and crypto that aren't fully understood by the markets or the academics because it looks a bit like a duck, it flies like an eagle, it swims like a dolphin. So, I don't think it's a duck.
