Hmmmm okay lets back track cos clearly there seems to be an issue with your interpretation of English.
Let me assist you with that.....
My statements were:
"many of the top ICO's are launching on nGTLD's.."
AND
"Common practice for ICO's to use nGTLD's."
You claim that my statements are untrue.... explain to me where I said that ICO's are predominantley using nGTLD's, where did I say it was the Dominant choice? I said COMMON practice, meaning it's not rare!
So both my statements are perfectly accurate.
Furthermore, in your world .IO is not a new GTLD... everyone knows that it's no longer considered a normal ccTLD and that it's being used as a generic...

Google treats .IO as gccTLD, so you won’t fall prey to unwanted geo-targeting
Worried about the range of your search results if you use a
ccTLD? While it could be a valid concern for some country-code domain names, Google has categorized .IO among its group of gccTLDs, or Generic Country Code Top Level Domains. Because Google recognizes that individuals and businesses outside of the British Indian Ocean Territory use this domain ending, they will not specifically target that geographic region when your business comes up in search results'

Then your comment:
"You have to be part of the Cryto community, whatever that means, to see the domain extension being used?" - No, being part of the Crypto community gives you far more insight on what the market is doing than a narrow minded domainer with a one track mind, who probably had to Google what ICO even means.
