If they gave them away, how would they raise funds?

Change your mindset. Currency is just an agreement between two parties. The Federal Reserve Note only has value because you believe to have value.

No change your mindset. That response makes no sense. You still need money to operate in the real world. If you do an ICO you need to raise money in some form. If you give tokens away it is not an ICO.

It makes perfect sense because my mindset has been changed. You believe Federal Reserve Notes to be money. I just see it as a symbol or an illusion.

No it doesn't unless you have completely lost touch with reality. Further you have no idea what I believe. No degree of changing mindset will allow people to raise funds by giving tokens away so stop evading the issue.
