Bitcoin Forum

The largest search engine on the planet, Google, announced formally it will restrict advertisement of “Cryptocurrencies and related content (including but not limited to initial coin offerings, cryptocurrency exchanges, cryptocurrency wallets, and cryptocurrency trading advice),” including aggregators and affiliates regarding “cryptocurrencies and related content.”

What do you think will happen to Bitcoin and his price?

The price will dip a for a time because of the FUD brought about by the banning of google. However, ICO scamming will be minimized and more number of investors will become encourages to invest in bitcoin. Therefore, increasing in value.

This is exactly the kind of FUD, coupled with that Singaporean exchange FUD, that pushes the price lower... Ugh why do they do this?

But Okay, I read the article, and your post is misleading. Your post is more FUD than the article LOL.

Google is not banning Crypto ads.

Here's what's happening:

In JUNE 2018, Google will ban crypto ads from companies / ICOs that are not certified by the various legal standards of the countries involved + Google's own internal review.

What does that mean? They're trying to cut down on the scams. Crypto ads include crypto gurus and lots of weird financial advice from crypto experts who aren't certified. Google is trying to cover its legal ass by requiring certification because more mainstream people are getting scammed via Google Ads.

This is actually good news! It means crypto is becoming so big that Google is taking notice and more people are being affected.

I believe this change is good. Now we'll have cleaner crypto ads, and less people will be scammed via Google Ads. This way crypto can have a better reputation, overall as there will only be legit crypto ads starting in June!

nothing... nobody gives a shit who is worth more than 50 bucks

everyone heard of crypto now and real investors will have started researching for themselves.

not hard to find this forum really anyway

It is because of the large number of fake ICOs and scammers that google decided to ban all the cryptocurrency ads. It did take a hit on the market as the price of btc and other coins fell by almost 8% today.
But, the ban is only for those coins which aren't certified by legal standards. So, the market will recover back eventually.
In future, we can expect better quality of crypto ads and might actually work in favor of the market.

Perhaps some will lose information about bitcoin and some may consider it, bitcoin has ceased from circulation, so this will aggravate the bitcoin growth process and it is likely that users especially bitcoin users will do the same, that is leaving google "simultaneously" and migrate to other operas or browsers.

I think the fame of bitcoin won't drop because of this, but it's bad news and so it will negatively affect the price. Perhaps it is because of this news now falls bitcoin.

We've seen on the effect to the bitcoin price and it started to plummet. It's now $8,000 and I don't know on how many waves we will be seeing before it goes up again. Every bad news is giving bitcoin a small correction and I hope this will end up after this 1st quarter. This quarter hasn't been nice to all of us except the buyers.

This ban applies to all cryptocurrencies, including legally certified. Therefore, this ban can affect the fate of Bitcoin.

This fuds will not destroy the popularity and power of cryptocurrencies weak hands are panicking right now converting into fiats lol Im sure market will recover in a right time no matter how dip it will go same scenarios form the past years just hodl your bitcoin because whales are on the move accumulating huge profits.

After facebook banned advertising ico, bitcoin, eth ... google continue to follow. I think this will affect the oscillation of bitcoin. Bitcoin will no longer fluctuate high and high in the coming time. Because that will affect the bitcoin promotion to the community who uses it.

The main thing is that in the future the other popular sites will not continue to prohibit advertising of cryptocurrencies...

This just influence Crypto for some time, crypto will be drop after this news, but that will be back norma again, but should be patien for waiting.
I will give you small sample :
an coin have price because ads? No! that's because investors behind, Although no ads about cryptocurrency, that can't make cryptocurrency die or no have price!
And should you know first, some big company like facebook and google banned Cryptocurrency ads, that because so many scam ICO, They don't want if their company used for offers fake ICO or crime activity behind ICO project.
So don't worry if some big company banned bitcoin.

because of this bitcoin fell, now 8,100, or even less, probably already, the point is that it's very insulting that it turned out that Google includes a lot of stupid information that badly affects people, but for some reason bitcoin did not please them, not fair(( :'( >:(

I think that is a good idea of google. At present there are many phishing sites that can forge reputable websites and run ads to scam people's money.

I have the same thoughts with you . If those sites fake are no longer available. bitcoin and altcoin, ICO would be clean

I think banning cryptocurrencies anywhere like countries and websites are sometimes a good sign of improvement. The fact that they are concern and giving attention to such technology that may have a large impact to many must be reviewed first and i think that's whats happening today. Though this may be an FUD, I do hope that people see this in a different perspective and not just a reason to leave. Everything will come to their quality in the near future and everything could be strongly trusted by that time.

There should not be much effect on price but we may see some effects on the incoming traffic to the crypto related business. Because majority of the crypto advertising campaigns are done through Google advertising platform and if it is suddenly stopped, we will see an impact on new traffic. But I don't see any reason for price decrease just because of this reason. Goggle is just trying to stay out of the controversy I believe. Because If they really cared about its consumers, they should have banned ponzi and porn campaigns first instead of banning crypto advertising. 

In general, I am positive about this prohibition on the part of google. Such a ban will greatly clean the Internet of fraudulent ads and will help build confidence in the crypto currency. Lately, there have been so many cases of fraud that something had to be done. In any case, after June we'll see how such a ban on ICO project announcements will affect both the ICO rating and the credibility of the crypto currency in general.

Title here is misleading "Google prohibits advertising Bitcoin. What will happen to Bitcoin?"
They're prohibiting cryptocurrencies and related content ads, i think it doesn't affect bitcoin much, as bitcoin is already famous. ICO might be get hit big time and it's a good thing, there will be lesser or no scam ICOs. anyways decentralized advertising network already exists.

I agree with you.
I would say it's good that fraudulent ICOs will not be able to spread as much as it is now.

And do you see anything bad here? Btw will yahoo, bing and ask.com follow them?
On another hand, there are many scam crypto websites, ICOs, wallets and etc. There was a lot of reports on mixers and etc.
So it worths for google to prohibit advertising of any crypto project and it's absolutely fair decision.
And your question is useless, it won't do any negative impact.

I think they not accept bitcoin anymore because some here are not here like they add ads in google to scam or hack other

So if that the situation i think better to register first in google or need license to run some business about crypto there

And if we don't have choice then the impact in no more ads in google is really big because there's a lot of ads there to promote crypto to gain value or to become high

Exactly, I don't know what's the big fuss all about? Yes, it might have a small dent on the price, but we all know that its also have short term effect.

I also think that its really a good move on their part. Why? so that those scammers will have one less way to promote their scams on the web.


At least we can see some legitimacy if we can curb those scammers. Its really bring bad name to crypto so we better rid of this scammers so that crypto will get some semblance of trust from investors all over the world.

There are many ICOs that are advertised in Google. Many of them are scams. So it is not a bad news. I don't think the current price fall is due to this news. There is no effect on bitcoin. Everything is same as before and the current price fall is happening by whales.

There are a lot scammers in crypto-world. Most ICO's are scams and tries to loot people, Google do not want that this ruins their image in market. So they decided to ban All cryptocurrency related ads completely to stay out of this.

Good for us because there will be no more scam ICO's popping up when we look for something like a cryptocurrency investment. It will not affect that much to Bitcoin's price but the ability for people to look for knowledge about crypto will be limited but in a positive way where we can be sure that the project we are in is legit because Google does not allow shady projects anymore.

The problem is that fraudulent ICOs can be advertised in other ways. And In general, scammers rarely bought advertising in Google.

I am pretty sure that it wont affect bitcoin in any way. Why would it affect anyway , do you think bitcoin is being run by Facebook, google or other platforms like that? I dont think that, they are just way to convey the message from entrepreneur to customers that their business does exist and nothing else. Tell you what there are lot more platforms which may be small and may not exist on the large scale like google but they still can convey the messages to customers through their advertisement so we do have options in short. Bitcoin will get shaken little bit in initial stages but really dont think that it is major issue.

I don't think anything will happen, because people still numb, in recent months, the whole market is in decline, so even if Google ban Cryptocurrency marketadvertising and it has long been expected.

Bitcoin will not happen. Bitcoin will still exist. As long as someone holds it, it suffices.

When will this ban will occur and implemented? I'm annoyed with the sister company of google which is youtube that does have a lot of force ads that doesn't have any skip button. The last one I've watched the video few minutes ago before posting this is about a miner ICO, I forgot the name and it's a hell of 48 seconds ad without any skip button.

I guess google wants to monopolize bitcoin by banning bitcoin related ads even so bitcoin will still exists and still be doing good on the market. There are some social media sites still approves and supports bitcoin ads, so there is nothing to worry about.

Google just want to prohibit  adversiting in adwords. But he would not block search requests. So nothing happened and no reason to worry.

I'm afraid that Google is connected with Youtube. In this regard, it will be more difficult to advertise ICO.
Also in many bounty campaigns there is the opportunity to earn coins with the help of Youtube. Now, there may not be this possibility.

Why are you afraid that google is connected with youtube? LOL they are in the same company and this is why if google implements that thing, then youtube will do it too. About the video making in some bounties, I don't think they are affected. It's only about the paid advertisements that are being endorsed through different videos and channels. You can still create your own video on your own channel about that bounty.

I don't think the Google's prohibition on  crypto-currencies and ICO advertising will have a strong influence on bitcoin and altcoins.
Their price has already fallen on this news. On the other hand, bounty hunters will earn much more, because the money invested in advertising will now go to them.

How can you say so mate? Google is the largest search engine in use now and not all but most of the people trusts google. If they would think that google sees cryptocurrencies as threats and scams and as a illegal activity, its worse than just an FUD that would spread very quick. Of course it would have an effect because media sources are the source of trust and interest. If people won't trust this technology then it will lose popularity and demand.

Price fallen, because people cant thinking. And very easy manimulate them! Read carefully! Google, twitter, facebook - prohibit only PAID ADVERSITING! This would be better for crypto. Will be less scam projects. But groups in twitter, facebook live and will be live as usually. Sites will be live as well, and google want not block search keywords!

But there are new cryptocurrencies, worthy of attention. Namely this ban gives them less method of advertising.

We should think of the bright side always. A lot of these scams damage good and legit crypto project so now that it's filtered, we can see the real progress going.

less - not mean nothing. They just can buy adversiting directly on sites, and still can lead a groups in social media (twitter, facebook etc).

Yes, Google now bans ads related to cryptocurrency and ico. This has had an impact on the price of bitcoin in a short period of time, causing the price of bitcoin to fall. But for a long time, it won't have much impact on bitcoin.

nothing will happen to the price if that company does not allow advertising, their advertising is not even good and corrupt overcharging for peoples clicks, it does not give results who cares.
google is not important who uses that anyways

Google is just another corporation, so only speculators care about what Google does.

Nobody knows what will happen with bitcoin after the ban. A lot of people have been scammed using these Ads and they are just trying to protect their users. If it does affect bitcoin though, it won't be for long.

The fraud was not at the expense of Bitcoin, but at the expense of other cryptocurrencies.

The ban has been taken back by the Google but they strengthen their norms around the cryptocurrency to procure the better quality result for crypto ads and other Bitcoin transacting purpose as well.
