ICOs are the "stocks" of the cryptocurrency world, IMHO. They'll have their own degree of thrift associated with them, and there will be both good and bad ones. I'm not sure why the SEC took the timid stance that it did other than that they are probably threatened by Bitcoin and thus have to take a weak stance on ICOs. Plus, it's questionable if they even have jurisdiction in many cases.

They have the exact same jurisdiction as the post office has against email haha. Whether they realize it and create laws around it are completely different though because this actually comes down to real money (vs. government printed funny money) and irrefutable assets (unlike a third party you're trusting with millions in X company)!
