Great video, first time ive seen that one, and shown on a great channel also.

One more step towards mainstream I would say.If some global giant like Google has something good to say about something,many would obviously take interest in it but for bitcoin to become mainstream,it has to go a long way

The most interest part is it is being pushed towards 1.5M+ devs. If even 1% of them gets introduced to bitcoin through this, it is a gain.

Awesome, this is a huge step for bitcoin, google is one of the giants of the world, 2016 seems that will be a great year for bitcoin ;)

lets hope, as they said (google developers), that they dont stop by release more videos about bitcoin.

...

Denker (nice catch!) and above commenters

If Google takes to Bitcoin in any kind of a big way, that is indeed "YUUUGE", that would get a lot of smart minds hard at work making more products and services that would of use.  Google might even find a way to get into eBay's space too (for example).

Let's see if this is a major development, I can only think that it IS meaningful.  I would like to see more reactions (not just here, but in the marketplace) as well.


EDIT: Mmm, Google also has a LOT of computational power "up there" in The Cloud.  Hmm, maybe they might mine.......?  :)

Those are great news indeed but I don't read too much into it. I didn't get future development or Google implementation from that just some admiration which is great but far from Bitcoin taking over Google in the Play Store hehe. With Bitcoin one never knows, I still feel there are a lot of negative issues surrounding it and it needs a lot of good vibes if it truly wants another chance to go mainstream.

I would love to see bitcoin as mainstream as gmail. They should work together to achieve this.

Google over Apple in helping us grow. Think google would build around it offer supporting products. Apple would stifle and push its own after a set time.

Great news, if only some of the google developers that follow this account join to bitcoin ecosystem ... Also i think that users that follow this account have read anything about bitcoin before, and this tweet and video could grow its interest on bitcoin.

Nice! There's a few technical errors, but other than that, it's an all around good for exposure. (It's always refreshing not to only get reporting on the negative stuff bitcoin is used for)

Very interesting. It's nice to see developers from the world's largest software company being excited about BTC. I wonder what's next. If Google could pay the webmasters who have an Adsense account with BTC, that would be fantastic. Am I dreaming, or is it possible?

Great find! Thanks for sharing.

Brilliant video, good to have more positive exposure instead of the lately large amount of negative aspects within the media.

Nice to see, it can bring people to try and learn about it.
Well 213 retweets and 206 favorites, it's not bad.

Although few points were tad wrong, overall it was a good video and it seems google have set their eyes on BTCitcoin now (or will soon). Imagine them integrating BTCitcoin in any of their services. It will make a huge impact in terms of user base and would keep on increasing the demand over it's supply in this could bring it's value up. Another thing would be, IIRC, they do have a lot of computing power (literally could turn the whole mining process into centralized one if they decide to mine BTCitcoin with all the power they got).

That seems good. He gives a overview about the nature as well the technology that runs behind the bitcoin. Soon they might come up adopting bitcoin. We can have follow up ads over the coming days on various topics.

You have to realize that giant corporations can not as easily embrace a new technology than an individual can. Even if they wanted to do it 6 years ago, there is way too much risk involved.

Let alone that they would need to convince the board of directors and investors around the world that this is something to put millions in development in..

By now bitcoin has proven its worth and they can start entering the field.

this is exactly what we need more positive showing in some kind of mainstream forum. more people need to see what bitcoins is and what its good for , not the shit they post in mainstream media to satisfy the banks and other people that dont want bitcoins to succeed.

Wow, this is the best news for me today!
Is this one of the reasons for the new wave of price increase? :)

Google keeps an eye on crypto for quite a while (I remember the April 1st Dogengineer ad some years ago too), telling good things about Bitcoins on such a channel is a very big thing.

You'd be dreaming for that.

@ontopic This is a good thing, I hope this could be the start and soon we'll be seeing in-app payments using BTCBTCBTC

The video itself seems a bit outdated I believe.Price they show in the video is around $258 and existing companies in the ecosystem are Mt.Gox , Tradehill, Buttercoin. :D
So my guess is that google is having an eye on Bitcoin for some while already, but might have stepped back after all the drama we saw the last 2-3 years.
And now where the ecosystem and infrastructure shows again positive signs due to investments, new startups, development in general and hype because of "Blockchain", google seems to be back.
I'm really curious what more we will see and here from them. :)

Now it will not be helped anymore. The media sooner or later will have to take Bitcoin seriously. Guess it's very true how it will revolutionarize the whole idea of currency systems.

I was expecting some crappy generic video about "crypto currency" judging by the title, but it turns out it's actually a pretty decent Bitcoin video. I wish they used Bitcoin in the actual tittle tho, they talked about Bitcoin so why not add Bitcoin in the tittle and get some extra traffic.

Nice video, if a huge organisation like Google says anything remotely positive about bitcoin then it can only ever be positive.

I pray that bitcoin gets more mainstream recognition in the next year or two. Adoption has slowed down & we need something to push us forward again.

You have to read between the lines, they do that because sadly "Bitcoin" is a bad word for many people and that's why it will be very hard to get adopted by big companies or institutions, there's just too many negative incidents related to it and for the average user Bitcoin equals scammers, hacks, silk road, drugs, money laundering and even terrorism. At least not directly but in the back of their minds it's still there. Bitcoin should move away from not being regulated, to me it has done more harm than good. Being decentralized is great but we need more regulation so more people and companies can jump in.

Great video and great news! I didn't get future development or Google implementation from that just some admiration which is great but far from Bitcoin taking over Google in the Play Store... With Bitcoin one never knows, I still feel there are a lot of negative issues surrounding it and it needs a lot of good vibes if it truly wants another chance to go mainstream.

good news to uplift bitcoin to new consumers. There is no doubt slowly bitcoin will get lots of good buzz around the world. Holding all coin you have is better decision. ;)

It's been evident Google has been on our side. They've given us tools to experiment with the blockchain, work with it, and also keep an eye on the price increase and decrease. We have total control of our Bitcoin because of Google, so thank you Google.

Indeed. Some guy from reddit found out that the startup list they use in the video is from a 2013 article (http://www.venturesandbox.com/2013/09/bitcoin-landscape-whos-who-in-bitcoin.html). Kinda sloppy.

Do Larry, Sergey, and Eric exercise editorial control over what the developers might have to say in a YouTube clip?

This is kinda funny, they're the number one search engine company but they use an outdated information instead of the latest one that they can get easily.

Although its an outdated information, the video clearly shows that google has a great interest in getting into the bitcoin community. Soon can expect bitcoin with google logo.

Sure you're right. As I said I believe google is watching Bitcoin for a while now. And now it seems they decided to make the first steps of announcing their interest to the public.Definitely a good sign.

Could be the last chance for Google to succeed over Apple / Samsung pay and others.

BTW, does not Google have a banking licence? So they would be biggest BitcoinBank on earth if they would embrace it. ::)
