As far as near term ICO's go, I think that the Metronome project, spearheaded by Jeff Garzik, meets all of the above. With someone as integral and intimate with the Bitcoin project/community as Jeff, we can definitely expect a coin that makes real improvements over existing blockchain tech as well as has a goal of expanded real world usage. I personally think that a coin that can work over multiple blockchains like this project will have real value and change blockchain technology as we know it. My only concern is the dutch auction style offering the coin is using for its ICO. Will ad a real element of strategy to the initial purchase. On the other hand, if this ICO plays out like other success stories, the initial price wont matter too much!
