Journalists report that the Department of Defense of the United States considers cryptocurrency an unwanted factor when hiring new people - or, at least, they plan to do so in the future. The information on this matter has been disseminated by several financial news agencies.

Meanwhile, ex-official and the U.S. Air Force General Greg Touhill who was responsible for the information security of the country under the Obama administration, has responded to this news by telling: “Those people aren’t going to sit around waiting to try to onboard for a government job,” thus speaking against unnecessary barriers.

The governmental bodies of the United States do not exclude the work of the market if the participants adhere to certain basic principles. Business persons involved in ICOs must view tokens as securities and act in accordance with corresponding rules.
