Andrew, I fear you did not read the article properly. At no point does it equate bitcoin with all crypto-currencies and the fact that others are not mentioned does not imply they don’t exist!

Whatever the logic behind that may lie behind the phrase “… an asset that channels finance to a new form of organisation, a decentralised application ” the reason retail investors are buying crypto assets is because they think they will make a fast buck. Initial coin offerings are predicated on having a naïve investor base who thinks every new opportunity will replicate bitcoin! In contrast, the technology behind blockchain is interesting and valuable. But it is not clear as yet that it will be a game changer for the world.
