It's sort of not cool to choose a16crypto as your username. HN wouldn't work if we didn't have identities, and traditionally the identity of the author is taken by the author. On the other hand, it's immediately obvious you're unrelated, so maybe it doesn't matter. To answer your question, as the world stabilizes and the crypto scene becomes less tumultuous, we'll see the rise of traditional models. It's a smart move to start that process sooner rather than later. In the old days, you won by controlling a "channel" -- whether it's a literal TV channel, or a limited asset, or anything where people had to go through you and you alone. The internet briefly disrupted that old model. But once again it's true: YC won thanks to HN, for example. It's a channel they control, and it shapes us and the way we think. Once ICO scams stop working, people will eventually realize that the fundamentals are what matter: solid networks, solid resources, and a vision with a group of people to build it. ICOs rarely get you any of those, let alone all of them.
