That's true! I event sent my friend a couple of DOGE for his birthday. SpaceX may put it in their sheets, but for early-stage startups this could be a way to be get funded from crypto investors who got big early on.
However ICOs are certainly a sounder idea than NFT artworks.
Both are bad ideas hatched from the ETH cohorts trying to make themselves relevant while selling buzzword laden pipe dreams and vapourware to idiot heads of state (Putin) [0] and imbecilic corpos with no idea of what they are doing.
This has to be a con by Vitalik, there is no way this guy really went from doing unSystem work to cryptokitties and NFTs.
