Even worse. ICOs are based on crypto magic money. Crypto means computers. Computers means Silicon Valley, which is the current go-to elite to hate. I can see a way to spin this politically that could resonate with plenty of the US population.

It is the current go-to elite to hate by other elites. Most normal people don't feel strongly about Silicon Valley.
