Everything you just said is shockinly wrong. The issue with Kickstarter is that it gave you no ownership interest in Oculus. Your $400 was just a pre-order. But at least it's a pre-order! Whereas the issue with ICOs is that they give you no ownership interest. Your $400 is just a donation. "The $400 would've become quite a handy sum by the time Oculus got acquired." Only if you had purchased equity. An ICO is not equity. You're literally about being taken for a ride, and responding by wishing you could have been taken for a bigger ride, with fewer protections.
