Lot of regulations apply for crypto these days.some countries ban exchanges and also TAX applying for them.And some countries ban ICOs.one of the major social media facebook stop all crypto ads.seems like crypto going to end day by day.market is falling too.what are your ideas about this?

Its not going dead its barley coming alive.  A few loud mouths and a few scam artist  made some BIG $$ on crypto and many people treated it like it was some get rich scheme.  Only the very few and lucky made millions from damn near nothing.  Much like the gold rush the first few in the area made huge profits but for most it was a bust but does that mean gold is dead?  Of course not gold will never be dead and it will always have value just like crypto.

The regulations will not kill crypto, it will bring more people as regulations represent the government and people will feel much safer investing. ICOs most of the time fail to deliver what they promised, regardless of whether it's a scam or simply incompetent developers. If you are interesting in a project, you can always enroll in bounties.

Cryptocurrency is less likely to die, as if bitcoin was not favored by people since it appeared, and has been saying that it does not survive, but it is rising every year, which is a reality. Encrypting money will only get better as their technology will adapt more to the world.

All those countries are barely 1 or 2 countries, not half of the world. I haven't been seeing crypto ads on fb since 2013, I've only stared seeing them for the past two months and that's it. I've just now checked and seen Parsec Frontiers, CRYCASH, GRAFT Blockchain... and that's just with the few scrolls down, so I'm not sure what you meant by "one of the major social media facebook stop all crypto ads".

No it doesn't. Bitcoin has $10k stable price and will be going up for sure.

Was 20K.  Now 10K.  Seems like it is going down to me.  Just wait until next week when Bitfinex quits sending withdrawals.  Very bad times coming soon.  BTC back to $4K. 

This is a true fact.  Get ready now.  I can't do more than warn you here.

I agree. i believe crypto will be integrated in every person's daily life in the future. currently, small percentage of the humanity are engaging in crypto as you need to be educated first on how to use it. and if an ordinary citizen finds out that sending money outside or vice versa has very small fee by using digital currency, then, more and more people will use the crypto business. and a lot more things that you can get out in dealing with cryptocurrencies.

ICOs getting banned should have happened a long time ago. they are ruining the cryptocurrencies for everyone with all of the free money they get for nothing, no product and no actual return apart from profit and free money for the owners.

banning ICO ads on Facebook is nothing worth talking about. they don't allow all kinds of advertisements on their platform and this is another addition to it.
hopefully in time we can see complete ban of all ICOs so that we can get rid of these scammers for good and eventually focus on real cryptocurrencies that focus on usability instead of focusing on ways of making more money.

Yeap, I do not why but there are a lot of bad news really, last one is the restrictions related of facebook.

Price is dropping for crypto but it is not going to end.

I dont think they will die. There are hard core investors who are in it for the ling run- they see the big picture and they wont sell their stock at a loss. Because of this it wont crash completely. There are to many good ideas out there for this just too stop. BTC is only one coin .

Last year crypto's total market cap is only in million. Now that crypto is in billion. How can you say its going to be dead? You can sell all your cryptos now at the dip. And have the biggest regret of your life. 2018 is the year of all crytos. Someday all nation would use crypto to save their currency.

There are things that are actually bad that governments have tried to ban and failed. Even if certain regimes try or succeed in banning it in their country, other rival countries will see it as an opportunity. The community really governs crypto currencies, so unless all the devs abandoned their projects it will not die.

I don't even think banks can compete on the technical level, the only way they could right now is to poach the best devs from the crypto community. When giant hardware manufacturers are making mining specific M/B's etc, it shows how much progress has been made.

I dont think crypto will go away.
Sure, we have some bad news once a while.
But it happens with society all the time.
We read about people getting robbed etc, does it mean the human race should just pack up and kill ourselves?

I see another FUD. Meh, cmon man by now everyone knows that crypto will never die and that as of now, it is just the beginning of something huge.

i dont see any problems with crypto.
i wonder why they ban crypto. is it about money politics ?

Crypto currencies will do to banks what internet did to post office..

ICO is a potential financial industry that is everything that everyone sees. I do not think that many media are trying to ban it but this does not mean that it will end. No one will overlook a huge source of profits.

LOL. do you think crypto die because no ads anymore, some countries ban exchanges, some countries ban ICOs ?? NO
The reason crypto will die if no more crypto cummunity and no internet, If these 2 important things still exist. Crypto cant die
And stop too easy to trust media.

it's natural for crypto.But crypto is alive.Don't be upset facebook is not only the social site.There are so many social site like twitter,reditt,linkedin.

I think that when area becomes regulated this means that a lot of people are interested in it. So i think it is not about death of bitcoin, but it means that when smth is widespread it needs to be regulated.

A bit of a ridiculous exaggeration IMO. The cryptocurrency market has always been volatile & will remain so for the foreseeable future, so why is every small gain treated with shoulds of "Lambo" & "Moon" while every small dip is treated with fear & claims that Bitcoin is dead?! Even increased regulations isn't necessarily a bad thin.... I mean, you'd like to see less market manipulation, less scams & scammers being dealt some justice i presume?

Time to just down. So wait the next month , hope again get up . we will see the good news.

The good thing about cryptocurrency is that, it is decentralized and internet based and so, it won't be easy to scuffle. It is not like a physical trade that you would need some check on a border before having an access in.
This is one biggest advantage of digital currency to investors and I'm sure the internet space is not going to be shot down because of banning of cryptos.

However, we have been having negative news about cryptos and bitcoin from inception, yet we still have it around in 2018. Moreover, where we have regulations, indicates government presents which is a good sign for control.

The thing is to have a check on icos (either they go straight to exchange) so that they keep to promise and stronger exchanges linking them to government .

Bitcoin is not dead, which I've always believed because of the Internet, but as the bitcoin becomes known around the world, it may be overseen by the UN or several other big powers because they do not Will allow a currency that they do not control. I think the future of Bitcoin may be better, but it will become more norms.

Regulations typically don't affect prices drastically, unless they're just outright bad. There hasn't been any major movements when the IRS cracked down on Coinbase either.

Facebook's decision is an internal cleansing that is meant to ban “financial products and services frequently associated with misleading or deceptive promotional practices.” If you've seen crypto ads at all on Facebook, you'll see they largely fall under this umbrella. Facebook has recognized its impact in the world, and it hasn't been pretty. If this works, you'll see less ICO scams around.

The market-wide drop could be attributed to this:

So yeah...it's just another day in crypto. I wouldn't declare it dead just yet.

the fear and panic is still with us. I think the op's statement is incorrect,

Firstly there are very few regulations applied to crypto.

Some countries ban exchanges but not all countries and not all exchanges.

Taxation is starting to appear in a few countries, Japan, Australia and South
Korea and possibly a few others that I am not aware of, Europe possibly
looking at it. But it is painful and necessary for a country to function.

Facebook is only one part of Social media, Twitter is still happy to continue.

Crypto has come through a lot already, they can try and stifle it but it
will ultimately survive . . . if everyone believes and continues regardless.

the crypto that going to end are the useless one or those crypto that failed to get support or those scam coins. with many coins pop up today we would not know how many will remain strong. cyrptocurrencies are just starting to get known and because of it government/groups wants to regulate it or ban it. by regulating and taxing  government/countries can set rules to avoid illegal activities and to gain money from it.

nothing can stop crypto, even as you say. I do not think this time is the peak of the ban on crypto, until the time comes. crypto will become more famous and strong. this is what will happen, one thing that many people forget, crypto is part of digital technology and today is the digital age

I also think that the FB banning crypto as well as the ICO does not affect what we are doing. Many social networks help us promote the ICO without necessarily having to use FB as the best option.

I guess the reason we are having these kind of thread from OP's is because of the drop on the price of bitcoin otherwise, won't be having such skeptical thread.

Are we actually expecting a continuous mooning from bitcoin or cryptocurrency?  I mean there are times we also have to witness the other side which will help in teaching us the market movement properly .

This again would also help us to be prudent with what profit we acquire from our investment.

If going dead for you, why are you still here ? If something would be going dead for me I would gone long time ago. So why are you here in a forum with dead investors and dead technology asking our ideas about this ?
I am really struggling to understand this post.

All what is happening now is just a phase that will push  the blockchain developers to develop social media platform that we can do our publicity without any regulation. Though there is one that have almost the same features like facebook. the platform is cryptosocial.world

Banning the ads will not stop Facebook users from using Facebook itself to promote cryptocurrency. The truth is that it will just raise the curiousity of those who will see this news.

I don't think it will end.
Even though facebook has banned its advertising.
But many countries do not ban bitcoin, they just feel that it needs to be regulated, and it is working on certain rules to limit the use of cryptocurrency.

I definitely disagree, most people talking crypto going to die nowadays because they saw sharp decline in price and whining about how they hold and afraid it wont return to their initial investment, a few years ago when bitcoin still stabilize in $2k no one talking about this, and now the price still in $10k range. Most regulation nowadays pop up because every country trying to control the bitcoin in their regulation, but when they realize they cant do anything about it, they started to ban them. Moreover about facebook regulation probably will last for a while but wont be permanent, because they said it themselves that they will review the policy not close it permanently  ;D ;D

IMO,I think this is just normal for crypto currenicies specially bitcoin,we all know that bitcoin is in the spotlight at the present time so because of its value so the government wants to benefit from it also by adding taxes from the users.Bitcoin is risky because of this other governments feel threatened of what would it takes to its people so they banned it.I'm not agreeing that it will die cause it is too early for bitcoin and i'm sure it will surge again.

I heard, that miners at 4000$/Btc are still making profit.

some economists say this will be the year of regulation, where more and more regulations will emerge to regulate cryptocurrency.


Some countries that prohibit exchange sites because they consider the bad impact that is produced can not be unstoppable again, there are others who use other ways to provide a very high tax that is above 20%.


I hope all countries forbid ICOs (ICOs that are synonymous or contain fraudulent elements) as they may harm many people.


A very wise decision, because as the world's largest social media company, its impact on Cryptocurrency spread is enormous. they do not want to allow fraudulent projects in which cryptocurrency-based uses facebook as a stepping stone.

   Crypto will not going to dead. Maybe it is the time that government accept bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies. In return they will collect taxes and regulations for us to follow. If ever it will happen,and there is tax in every transaction we made, it is still good because it helps the people not to have fear and doubt. But ofcourse in everything that happened which affect in crypto still has a possitive and negative sides.

I don't understand why you people post things like this. Like Bitcoin is DEAD or its the END but you are still here.
This is bitcointalk and we are expecting for suggestions and other resolutions rather than spreading FUD.
I think you don't deserve to be here.

Prices may go as low as anyone could think of but the true essence and purpose will be based on its use.
Bitcoin is for transactions and Facebook is just for advertising.
Transactions are the main goal here. Not the price nor the social media.

Dont think Crypto will die but will def have a lot more regulation which in one aspect is probabaly better for crypto

Haha the thread is not about the price in principle, but the price is an important aspect of bitcoin being dead. I am mentally prepared for every scenario: the price going up will make me happy, but I know will endure bad times, too. And definitely it may be as RawDog sais - it used to be like this several times already, that the price suffered downhill rush of large magnitudes and for long times.

More to the point, I think the regulations are actually good for bitcoin. Regulations are usually placed to protect the society, at least in principle this is why they are introduced. It will make it harder for others to scam people, be it a malevolent exchange owner, ICO enterprenuer who executes a Ponzi scheme or a hacker hacking your laptop - the police will at least know how to categorize the theft (thanks to regulations). This list may go on...

The situation for crypto now is not too good, since nobody regulated it, not many company ready to adopt it, and the government keep on finding way to regulate it, so its pretty bad situation for crypto, but if the crypto can passed this test, I believe crypto will be great again, I see so many potential from crypto that could help a lot of people in the future

I agree with all of what others have said that this time is really a trying times for the entire crypto industry but that does not mean the end of it. This trying times as it is though is not back to the basis from where we started but because we have tasted high levels of prices, and we have been used to such scenarios, that is why there is panics all over about how dead crypto is going to be. I believe strongly in my heart that as much as there are news that are not encouraging, so also are good news coming out what we should hope for is that the good news overshadow the bad so as for us to start breathing in fresh air.

Although I dislike the idea to regulate cryptocurrency, I realize that ICOs must be regulated. However, this policy will never kill the market, and people will go on trading and investing. I am a great optimist maybe, but these are my thought.

The regulations will not kill crypto, it will bring more people as regulations represent the government and people will feel much safer investing. If you are interesting in a project, you can always enroll in bounties.

Agreed not only on facebook but bitcoin is famous all around the world so if you have heard about it forms it then it can be fake rumors. Bitcoin and crypto currency has this kind of nature that price and value use to change all the time it cannot affect the internal value and demand of bitcoin. Now bitcoin has provide a lot of ease to all people so they won’t let bitcoin die at any cost at all since 2009 bitcoin is growing and only growing.

Every day crypto will have regulations and new rules coming up but in other end market is expanding to new high technology is unstoppable

Right now bitcoin is like gold. Gold doesnot have practical value, it cannot be used to make tools and stuff but has value because everyone emotionaly agree to value it. Even later it will be values as the first ever cryptocurrency. Like antique coin collection

Can't agree more! And so far BTC is the bridge between the cryptocurrency world and actual cash. Until another crypto does that, I don't see anything taking over BTC soon!

Not the fact that bitcoin will grow strongly, there are also no guarantees that bitcoin will be a permanent leader in the field of crypto-ala. But it will most likely exist. It can be applied in various projects of science and technology and is in demand in various spheres of people's lives.

There's nothing to be worried of. Cryptos won't die just because of the backdrops which is normal due to the volatility in the market. Patient is always needed. There are signs that the market is recovering lately so don't lose hope. Continue investing and hold for the rest of the days to come. Also, avoid selling because it is just making the situation worse.

In my opinion I think it's normal, lots of people are on a panic mode rifght now because they think they'll lose their money in crypto. We already experienced a big pump then be ready if a big dip will possibly gonna happen anytime.

I do not think crypto will die, crypto will continue and will never disappear. Similarly in bitcoin, many people assume bitcoin will not last long, but until now bitcoin still exists. Do not get caught up in the negative news.

Total opposite just a teething baby at the moment that's going to grow and grow into one of the biggest changes modern society has witnessed you are looking at the future in currency.

Crypto isnt dying, its actually going up. Correction periods are healthy sign that its not a bubble and everytime it surges up again after a large correction.

Look at the graphs from like 2 years ago and compare to now, there were 80% corrections back then after every pump but the overall trend is upwards.

Still goverments not controlled main DNSs then all of us can use blockchain network and bitcoin or other payments

     I am not sure if you realize it or not but crypto ain't something that is easy to kill. Specially when people nowadays are smarter than people back then that the governments can still control. Obviously, having a taste of a little bit of freedom from the current out dated monetary system of the world is really addicting. And I am pretty sure that a lot of people here also feels this way. But just in case you do not realize it yet, people like you who buy into those sht that the fud spreaders are feeding you and feeding others with the same sht are the ones that are really contributing to the downfall of the prices. So you better think about what you are doing man and make up your mind. It's either you go against cryptos and believe all their fud, or have faith and spread positive things or great news about crypto. Because what every single person does if added to all the other people doing the same thing can really make a huge impact on just about anything.

I kind of laugh at the idea of Facebook Ads being a FUD response to crypto market dying.. I've seen this in 3-4 news articles (seriously) over the past 2 weeks.. you know what is more likely to die?  Facebook Ads.. because if you don't use Adblock or any of the hundreds of other addons to block these ridiculous spam ads, then you shouldn't really use the internet.. plus the stuff on these ads (the few times I've seen ads on youtube browsing quickly wiht my phone) the information on these ads is almost 100% clickbait, scams, or just useless general information about "hot" coins or "buzz" coins for the upcoming month.  Its a good thing these are being blocked.. not FUD at all... anyone who doesn't learn about crypto from some stupid money market course or what coins are hot from idiot teenagers driving lambos on Garage channels is probably a positive overall.

First go and learn proper English, then come here again and we will talk.

I already don't have a slightest idea why you guys are still in crypto and yet declaring it dead already. What has gotten to you OP? You one of the paid schills we found thousands on social media today?

As for regulations, bans, tax and everything that will push down cryptos, if will be just short term. Long term it will still thrive because more investors will still be attractive to it no matter how much they try to stop it.

The price is on a roller coaster ride. Which means that there are still willing to put cash on it. So I don't think it will die just because of such FUD and attacks. It will continue to live and will grow long term.

No, I do not believe that the cryptos are condemned to death by the fact that the current financial authorities around the world are facing difficulties when it comes to framing their use within the financial standards prior to the emergence of this innovative tecnology. But I think that with the passage of time, they will find a way for both realities to coexist in a harmonious and even more integrated way.

Crypto won't DIE and it's very hard to stop them. People are believing at Cryptocurrency. Technology are on mainstream so no one can stop just like BItcoin that is always here since 2009. They are coonected as one. So if you trying to stop cryptocurrency then try to hack blockchain and that's the time it will die instantly.

I agree with this guy, Alternative coins or altcoins will not die and it will remain the same thing as bitcoin though emerging coins from ICO are part of money program from other businesses and Big corporations and if develop then we can see a good profits in the long run. As of now it's purely speculative about the project.

Are You kidding??? Crypto is alive as never before! Just look at the growth of number of real life cases where the crypto is used! Large companies like Bosh, Visa, IBM are funding millions in the new crypto technologies to be ready use them soon! And regulation of ICOs is  a step towards its legalization but definitelly not the death! If only You doon`t mentioned the scam projects.  

Crypto currency will not disappear. Many countries, or rather the government, try to fight this market because of its anonymity and the possibility of paying without the posting of payers. Certainly there will be difficulties with legalization, but this type of earnings will not disappear. The only option for the government is an attempt to regulate the turnover of the crypto currency and begin to control the circulation of funds. I'm not sure that absolutely all countries will settle the issue with centralization and allow free use of the crypto currency, but that it will not disappear, I'm 100% sure.

What a title. These situations are just simple trials for the cryptpcurrency market. It has already outstanded most of the difficult challengers. They had been hacked, banned, scammed, but in the end of the day life and hype still goes on for the market. This proves that lots of people are trying to defend the market in times of hardships and I want to help to for the crypto world because that is my core foundation for profit.

Some countries create favorable conditions for crypto-currencies, for example, Belarus.

I think regulation is not enough to kill crypto. The only way it can be killed is by banning it to every country which is unlikely to happen or impossible to happen. There will always be bad news about bitcoin. For some reason bitcoin is a like a celebrity with tons of haters. Maybe its because of the scammers who were reported while there are only few reports about someone getting rich about bitcoin. Good subject/title by the way, what a way to capture the readers attention.

Every now and then a naysayer wakes up and decides to come to the Bitcoin forum to tall everyone there that they're stupid to believe in their investment.
I'm not going to Christian forums to tell them I'm not a believer. What's the purpose of that? You believe it's going to be dead and I don't. Let's agree to disagree.

since when did the Facebook party stop advertising ICO bro? where do you get the source, until now I still see continuously Facebook ads there are my marked so it is impossible the Facebook party prohibits advertisement ICO

Cryptocurrency sector is still an emerging platform,with diverse challenges which is sure to be overcome,Stabilisation is taking place already,crypto is an establish sector will trillions of dollars in the space, this is sure to hold it from dieing

I dont think so. If they wanted to kill bitcoin, they already did it in past years, but what happen? They cannot do it, that is how powerful bitcoin is. Yes they can regulate bitcoin users they can banned it, and the price is being affected, but it cannot says as dead. Perhaps it could be a reason for more investors to buy bitcoin.

I still believe Bitcoin will remain a bitcoin for its users and fans. FIAT also has its own space with its users. For me what Bitcoin does is difficult to imitate by its competitors.  :D

I agree. Cyrpto has been here for many years more than a decade if it is a threat to the law of our county it will not exist for this long. Fud affects the prices of cryptocurrency lately but it doesnt mean it will be totally gone or crashed. So crypto is still alive  and far from over.

No the crypto is not dead maybe the transaction in every country which ban on their government so the value of the bitcoin decreasing because of the currencies is too at risk but its temporary it's just a moment.

I think banning crypto currencies is not good to new investors. I wish that digital currency will still continue to evolve in every country. This is one of the best type of investments that I can see.  I will still support bitcoin.

I think It's impossible "Crypto going to DEAD" it's rising every end of the year, also now crypto is some better than January''18, I know crypto rising slowly but as soon poseable you will be happy with this.

The relevance will not kill crypto, it will only bring more people to crypto,the government and people will feel much safer investing. ICOs most of the time fail to deliver what they promised, regardless of whether it's a scam or simply incompetent developers. If you are interested  in the project, you can always enroll in bounties cause there's nothing be scares about.crypto ain't dead and it ain't no where.

The introduction of regulation for crypto-currencies is an indispensable stage in their development. Certain difficulties with the existence of crypto currency will always be. Therefore, there is no need to pay special attention to the temporary failures of the crypto currency. These are all the working moments that will eventually be overcome. The development of the crypto currency will not proceed smoothly, as some imagine it. So do not panic.
