If you consider being the beneficiary of a boom in what is effectively fraud a "good thing," sure. I can driver a Ferrari if I literally rob people, too, but most people would consider the people I've hurt in the process when evaluating the merits of my actions.

What does the market say? ICOs seem to be very popular so effectively quite a lot of people seem to consider them a good thing, at least currently. Does useful mean the same as ethical? Those people do ICO's to raise money from other people, and it seems to work for them.

I think that's the joke; that there are at least enough of those unethical people that they can make money off it.
