@paulvigna did write an entire book on this with @mikejcasey.
Not doubting expertise. I'm saying an editorial input may have pointed out that the comparison is problematic.
I believe, and my editors believe, it's an apt comparison, otherwise it wouldn't be in the story. But I'm interested in why you think it's a bad comparison.
Thanks for engaging with my fulminating. My objection is with comparing a public company selling equity with a private one selling an indigenous currency to fund a work on a network that doesn't exist. A closer equivalent would be selling equity via crowdfunding sites early.
I see your point, but with the amount of money they've raised, seems like they are more like an IPO and less like Star Citizen.
Not sure scale is the only factor to consider here. I can see why it may seem like both are similar because they're funded largely by individual investors. IPOs are thought of as exits for a reason. What's happening with (most) ICOs is in effect a pre-order for goods(tokens).
