Nobody is saying that crytocurrencies 'in general' are going to be declared securities.

This is about ICOs. IE, a tokens that are a 'FUTURE' promise for something that doesn't exist yet.

If Bitcoin was a security, the statement from the SEC head would be very different.

I agree with you, but the fact is plenty of people do. Maybe not in the corner of the world, but look broader. This also wasn't the point.
