Hi guys, first post.  I have a big interest in crypto and altcoins, but I'm based in the US and therefore wary of our our government is going to treat it all.  With altcoins, specifically, it seems like a big mess.

Many ICOs are operating under the assumption that their coins are not securities and they use that to justify advertising to a U.S. market.  To date, the SEC has done little to clarify either for or against these assumptions, but they've shown they aren't afraid to pursue those who blatantly fly in the face of the basic rules.

Sooner or later, they have to help clarify, right?  Or is it better for the market for them to leave the rules as they are without clarity?

My company is looking at using the ICO model for a new business concept but we would want to do it in a compliant way.  Does that hold any value to people when considering coins to invest in?
