Not sure I buy the insane bit. Airbnb, Facebook, Uber, drugs on the net and ICOs were proceeded by traditional B&Bs[0], showing holiday snaps, taxis, traditional drug dealing and traditional iffy investments. It's just new tech either did things better or allowed skirting of regulations, licences and the like.

I think there may be a future in security token offerings, a more regulated less scammy version of ICOs, kind of like traditional stock listings but cheaper and less Sarbanes–Oxleyed.
