Thanks for reading my posts and glad you are part of the Steemit community. Tell you friends because we need some more people your age sharing life experiences, knowledge, talents, etc
But to your question, your Ethereum are completely fine. The Status ico is a new company that is using the Ethereum network and the ico just means they are selling new coins in their company. More and more there are companies coming out using Ethereum as their base so this give the Ethereum more strength and viability for growth.
Hope this helps and feel free to ask any questions you like.
Cheers
