My .02 on this: You've already lost. The decision has been made, they're moving ahead, and it's clear (a) you can't change their minds and (b) you aren't onboard with it. You should treat this as a learning experience about decision-making and corporate politics. Put aside the technical issues and take some time to consider the people issues. Who is the decision-maker? What is his/her motivations? How are decisions made in your organization - top-down, consensus, debate, face-to-face, etc? What role did you think you should have in making this decision, and how did that differ from the role you actually had? How do you feel about all of this? Maybe you felt this was your decision to make, or should've been given more weight/input on the decision. This is a relationship problem. You don't have the role you want with the others. Another view might be, you were consulted but ultimately you weren't the top decision-maker in the org, the decision didn't go your way, and you need to either (A) get onboard with it or (b) leave. It's very reasonable to want out at times like this. Don't do anything rash, but if you can't get onboard with this decision and really do object to it, leaving this organization might be your best bet. It's important to realize, when you aren't the head person, there are some things that aren't going to go your way. You can argue and fight and debate, but ultimately, a decision has to be made, and it might not be the one you want, but you have to either tow the line, or leave, doubly so as an executive. As bad as this situation is, it's way worse to have a bunch of people who can't agree, and decisions not getting made, than MADE decisions that don't go your way. If you truly have ethical or legal issues, you should get out. You're young and will move on to something else quickly. But I think this stuff (ICOs and coins in general) is grayer than you might think. There's a lot of gray between 100% upright business practices and fraud, and you're somewhere in the middle.
