Bitcoin Forum

I came across an article recently. Google is joining Facebook and Twitter to ban all crypto related ads. Why does everyone seem to want to frustrate crytocurrency?

Maybe they see competitors in crypto.
With banks it's obvious. They want to earn all money and give credits with unreal %.

Absolutely many countries around the world not want to accept cryptocurrencies against their fiat money many countries also ban cryptocurrency for their own country! social media also fronts of peoples, so they also can follow their governments. but I think google not want going banning all crypto related ads! they are gain orofit from here.

Most of them might still be looking at the forum as where lots of their Subscribers are scammed. They may tend to secure their subscribers. Equally, Deregulation in Bitcoin is like efforts being siphoned to the face of the Government where Individuals are earning, making money in the economy without them generating revenue in form of tax from these money. In essence, efforts are being geared to ban Cryptos in whatever form they can get.

I saw an article in banning of facebook in cryptocurrency and as what I've seen, the reason why does the facebook banned ICO is that, they want to eliminate fraud and scam ICOs. Well, I guess it is not the real reason behind the ban. I think they see cryptocurrency as their ultimate enemy when it comes in online services. That's why they don't want crypto to continue its reigning in the people.

Because Google, Facebook, Twitter and other giant Internet company hate about decentralize technology.
It can kill their service which is selling a centralize data. That's why they will ban every people who use their service to promote Cryptocurrency.

True! They are losing influence over their own investors which are escaping to the cryptomarket.
I think that the Facebook will release its own coin in some time now and that's why they are limiting their competitors.
Google managers are highly jealous in my opinion. Their greed is prevailing over their fair intentions.
The lie presented by the media that they are trying to protect their users is unbelievably cheap and stupid.

Some people wanted to destroy bitcoin that is why they are attacking it. They also make fake news in order to scare or frustrate others. Government has hidden purpose which is to have bitcoin taxed. Maybe they are jealous that hard working bitcoiners are doing well and having a good profit.

It has got to do something with the crypto hacks and scams that are getting evolved day by day. Big and reputed platforms like google, Facebook will never want there platforms to get spoiled with such scammer projects. Thats why they are banning the crypto related ads and making it look like really bad field. Why wouldn't they do it if the crypto projects specifically the ICO's which comes in the market daily and most of them go scam or ponzi over the time. If google or other platforms support such projects then it is their reputation which goes staked and its not good for them. This is major reason for which they are banning the whole thing. They also see vulnerabilities of getting hacked through the help of blockchain because it is public ledger and anyone can come and go out of the door. Many facts and limitations causing them to close down crypto ads.

There are many reasons why there is always a move to frustrate bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Some banks and government consider the bitcoin as competitor or threat to their fiat. Other leaders fears that bitcoin might be use for money laundering, drug trade and other illegal activities. Some are also spreading FUDS against bitcoin in effort to lower its price and make profits later.

I doubt if there are any sinister reasons for them doing this. If I had a huge company like that and my platform was used to promote things that might harm my reputation and worst, the users that are using my platform.. then I would also ban it. A lot of these ICOs are just plain and simple scams and they are ruining this for everyone.

I think the regulations will catch up to these scam ICOs and then things might return to normal.

if u check properly u too will realize that too many fraud are going on in the name of ICO.

So why do a reputed firm will support such crime in the name of technology ?

Think honestly and u will realize that those serial scammers are just coming with a new glossy website with a lot of lucrative words ... showing there pages like they are the only intelligent left on this planet , so buy buy buy ... and then fussh

 :D

Maybe it's just a group that wants to give fake news about the ugliness of criptocurency and if the news of rejection is true they would want to prevent perpetrators of fraud by rejecting the ico news on the social media services they provide.
I'm sure google, facebook and twiter are just social sites and free up users interacting with other users please visit the discussion before her. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=570884.0

There is a quote from the movie X men, people fear what they don't understand and same is the case with bitcoins. Google for some reason has decided to do moral policing and it's really weird for them to do so. I feel this shall make bitcoins even stronger in the long run, and google shall end up paying a huge price for their misadventures.

Many have tried and all of them have failed, google shall fail badly to, we can focus on instagram, verb to keep it going I'm sure it'll succeed.

Apparently there are still too many newbies being baited by these small ads on the sites you mentioned. This is also to ensure that scam sites wouldn't flourish and that people wouldn't have any word from such even if it also affects the legitimate ones. If there's anything I could make out of this move by these sites, it is to help crypto in general to mature and to lessen that amount of people investing their money at the wrong place and giving the owner of these scam services/sites their money easily. Admit it, the crypto world is plagued by wannabes trying to make some money by creating these ponzi schemes/sites. Ponzi schemes outweigh legitimate services' appearance on the ads Google and others are showing to their site so this is probably a good move that has positive long-term effects.

I dont know what are their own reasons why they ban bitcoin and other crypto currency ads in facebook and other social media. Maybe there are only specific countries that do these because they dont support the idea or they are against bitcoin.

there actually is a lot of good reasons for banning these ads on Google and Facebook (never heard about Twitter! though).
for example if you do a little search among the tech supports and the people who lost money you can see a lot of them have lost it to fake wallets. for instance the original Electrum website is Electrum.org, they put up an ad for fake-electrum.org on google and when you search for Electrum that pops up on top of everything! a newbie easily loses money this way.
the other too obvious case is the case of ICO scams where they receive a lot of money for their pointless token and then as soon as they receive the money they stop working and move on to next ICO.

Twitter have no official statement and implementation of the so-called bans in the ads that contain the promotions and websites of a specific cryptocurrency or ICO not in the present we can say Google follows the footsteps and measures of the ban implemented by the facebook, twitter may follow the examples of the two giant company in relation of the ban because of the pressure though it is not confirmed and announced yet, we have to expect the possibility or the worse cases, they are frustrated by the increasing scams from the complaining users, I read some complaints that why google allow such a scamful website to promote and boost its ads. Though it may have an impact it can protect and preserve potential investors in the cryptocurrency.

i wasn't know the exact reasons why they looks attempts to frustrate cryptocurrency but maybe they thought cryptocurrency were invited people to get scammed and that's why they will against cryptocurrency but don't have to worried regarding them because cryptocurrency can grow without them indeed this news will have an effect for crypto users but i think it won't last long

You right. Google and the other social media not totally wrong because they are just trying to protect their user's from scam. I do not know if there is a solution to this problem besides what they have done because crypto are decentralization, not easy to regulate it.

It's now because they are against crypto or anything. Mostly the reason for banning the ads was to stop the scam ico ads. And talking about Twitter, have you seen the scams going on there, every tweet related to crypto has the ETH scam reply.

They're not "frustrating cryptocurrency". They're just trying to block scams.

There are loads of places where you can get free accurate info about bitcoin and other cryptocurrences. So no-one needs to take out ads, apart from the phishing sites...

As far as i know they (google) have actually been under pressure from the FBI to do bans against ads containing crytocurrency elements a few days ago.


Because crytocurrency has a value is volatile and is considered to be able to cause the destruction of the state's financial standard as a whole.

I think the main reason for this, frequent fraud on the part of not decent people. We hear something there and there about the frequent deceits of ISO. Crypto currency for scammers, like cheese for mice. Such measures are introduced for the safety of their clients.

This move by Google isn't an attempt to irk cryptocurrencies at all but they are focusing on their users' safety more than anything else. Might seem like a move to add frustration into the already bloodbathing market but isn't really the case as this would happen sooner or later. Just a matter of few weeks before it is forgotten and the people will be back to focusing on the price as it shoots up.

They just did what they have to do to prevent more damages that scammers made and will make. Instead of taking time to screen all of them. But hopefully as time passes, they'll be likely to come up with a solution especially for those with real and honest purposes.

I this is completely wrong news. I have read many articles and threads in the forum itself which says that google is not at going to ban the crypto ads. There is no official news release for this one and what we are listening to is other hyped news by panic people around us. I think we better ignore this one and keep it in line as it was earlier. Also we can clearly see all the ICO ads flashing all over the CMC website that are being served by the google itself. There is no way such giant is going to leave the crypto ads as it is money after all and they don't care from where it comes. Isn't it.

Yup there is no official news from Google and there was a news like Facebook also banned ico related adds in their website but in my country, i am seeing adds on my facebook page. confusing which news i have to believe and which is not. but it really making affecting the crypto market.

Agree with you!
They are monopolists in Internet

I don't think it's a bad thing Google does, maybe it can save a lot of people from get fooled. So Google, it's just helping people and i don't understand that why you misunderstand it.
They don't want people to be freed that as a reason of the compression of the cryptos, because, if this system goes on, will not even need the government when on required time.

this news is true, that both accounts (facebook, Twitter) often block about cryptocurrencies ads, this has happened to me, and facebook has blocked my account, and they say "your message looks spam, i will secure your account" if really facebook secure its users, why my account can not active, but I have changed the password according to his orders.

I don't see anything wrong with the ban of cryptocurrencies advertisements on popular platforms. Many of them were advertising things such as "Earn 1 Bitcoin per week" or some similar clickbait ads which usually lead to scam cloud mining services or exchanges with low volume. But we have to think for a moment if it was the real purpose of banning this kind of ads. Would they normally care so much about that if someone didnt't force them? I guess we will never know the truth.

I also had time to read articles about it, which I know is facebook and twitter prohibits crypto ads because it is considered misleading. It is said, many companies that advertise crypto, not operating properly. if what you mean by foiling by blocking ads. In my opinion do not worry too much, because for advertising, word of mouth can spread wide. and in my opinion the facebook and twitter policies are pretty good, so not a handful of people are utilizing the popularity of bitcoin for deceptive acts.

Think about it all of those businesses you are talking about depend on centralization for their business model, bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are about the opposite while bitcoin is not a direct competitor I will not be surprised if there is already a coin in development set to become Google rival that doesn't spy you every single day, so their businesses model will become obsolete if the blockchain takes off.

I think Facebook and Twitter are detecting some spam activity on their platform because some people are posting relentlessly that create lots of data to load by spamming post per day even if they said that "crypto currency are misleading" but still it's popping out on their platform and i also saw those ads too.

https://www.facebook.com/business/news/new-ads-policy-improving-integrity-and-security-of-financial-product-and-services-ads

Sad to hear that, but it seems to me that banning isn't about cryptocurrencies, it's about scams. Maybe they all feel like they can't predict whether a particular ICO is scam, or not, but they don't want to be responsible for scammers, so they ban them all. But I wonder why they didn't ban online casinos then, people spend there a lot of money too.

Maybe because they are frustrated about how a lot of people are killing the entire bank system because of those "coins" like they said?

Anyway, i still believe in that they are always trying to kill cryptos because it is against all the monopoly who prefers to have everything 100% centralized.

I don't really understand why people keep thinking that this add ban is an attack to crypto. There are a lot of scams in crypto, and it's perfectly normal for these companies to try to defend themselves from that. It would be very easy for someone to try to sue them, because they allowed for clear scams to be advertised. This does not harm the real projects like bitcoin for example, that don't need these type of adds to reach investors.

Who knows? Google doesn't want to frustrate cryptocurrency. It's either they have plans that will give them advantage by having this decision. There's no reason why they did this but this also beneficial to the newbies who are just searching about "bitcoin / crypto" on google and after pressing the search button, those scams crypto ads appears. They will be now safe from those through the search engine but its still their choice if they will follow their own decision and thinking that they can be rich overnight through crypto.

I think due to business related because of money or because of those scammers that using facebook and twitter ads to attract more investors to victimize as you see so many ico's on facebook ads that spreading but in the end are turning into scams that's why bitcoin reputation getting negative to other new investors i think these one of the reason why google banned other crypto related ads.

It is usually the whales who are doing things to frustrate cryptocurrencies.
The logic is easy, they dump at higher price, spread FUD, and then buy at lower price and repeat.
Since they have tons of money and Bitcoin, it is possible to play the market especially a lower cap coins.

I guess the whales are the owners of Facebook and Google or the forum as well to have caused things frustrating crypto currencies. What people don't know is that little things matter. On the forum here, go to the currency exchange section, goods, or even the scam accusations thread and you will have an idea of ridiculous things people are doing to make cents but covered with bad intention to scam another person. Would you say they are the whales. The whales might be manipulating the price but they are playing by the rules.

If you then go outside the forum, the trust has fallen so bad that personally, any ICO or project that I see as a result of Google ad, I will have to triple check before even considering to put some money would you blame the whales for that too. Until there is a change in orientation that playing according to the rules would generate decent income,  there would always be attacks from outside forces against crypto currencies because they will continue to have something to rely upon as reasons for their actions.

Not just because google and facebook start banning crypto ads, they want to frustrate the market. No they want, they have their own reason why they are doing that. And besides with facebook, I'm still seeing those ads that are related to crypto so I don't think they are really banning it or there is certain ads that they are banning on that social media network. And also with google, they are doing it base on their stand in crypto but I don't think they have the intention to upset us.

In my opinion facebook and the upcoming issue about banning of Google in any cryptocurrencies advertisements maybe because they see this as a threat in their sites that might untrust on its subscribers and adoptors.Recently there were scammers on different Initial Coin offering which is taken advantage by fraudulent act of different people who wants easy money and this will affect the trust of its users instead of adding popularity on it.And this cause frustrations to adoption of cryptocurrencies that is why price nowadays were affected alot in the movement of bitcoins price that is getting low.

I don`t think everyone want to frustrate cryptocurrencies. If we talk about Google and Facebook, then they banned advertising of crypto currency on the recommendations of the FBI. The latter considers ICO an unreliable project and is confident that the crypto-currencies mislead many people. But more often people and organizations make some restrictions to digital money because this way they want to establish control over them. Now, crypto-currencies are not subject to anyone and many people do not like it, especially the governments and law enforcement agencies of states. Restricting access and channels for disseminating information about crypto-currencies, they are thus willing to regulate this sphere.

I really don't know with this
if google and facebook, i just thingking they just don't want people getting in scam project, and a fraud is illegal thing
and they just concern that kind of project is for the well know people who know about cryptocurrency. and i think good project will well know by itself not just with huge massively adv

I don't think that's what Facebook and Twitter intention in the very beginning. In my opinion, they are not against crypto, what they trying to achieved is to stop or at least curb a lot of scammers out there who are using their platform to promote their shady schemes. However, their moved has a negative connotations and people thinks that they are anti-bitcoin or crypto in general. Its just the side effect, but we can't do anything about it and understand where they are coming from. And at least investors should read between the lines because they really thought that those 2 giant social media is conspiring to put us down, but that is not the case. Just sad though that paid schills and FUD's will add fuel to the fire and spin the news as if everyone is trying to frustrate crypto.

There are so many possible reasons why they frustrate everyone about cryptocurrency. Maybe because of competence or maybe because of scammers. But I do not see any reason to frustrate us about crypto.

Ya, its all over the news. Google is finally following the footsteps of Facebook in banning cryptocurrency related ads and I think its some of the fake ICO developers that brought it upon themselves. Most of them are scams and countless number of people are been scammed numerous times because of them. I believe its the government that pushed Google to implement this policy to protect their citizens.

Well people are creating articles like that because they think it's fun to put some condition for those who want to join in, some are just having bad experience about crypto  and some are doing it for work...

Every good system has suffered this same treatment and many of those systems are doing very well today and those speaking evil of them are the greatest beneficiary. Bitcoin and blockchain technology provide the best opportunity for the world to create equality and fight poverty and selfishness we are seeing in the financial markets and those greedy elites are not going to give up fighting this good system.

If the whales in bitcoin are actually the owners of these giant social media networks, then I could also be thinking they could have a hand in trying to push price down to acquire more bitcoin and target altcoins.

However, for people being defrauded, it has been in the habit of man to cheat the other person. Some people are born that way. They always circumvent the rules to make a living. So for every financial platform or means of making money, we should expect every class of human being.

yes, a thousand ways to thwart crypto and how to get rid of crypto, for me it's just a momentary fall. do not really understand what they are thinking about to give an extreme warning, which obviously should be meant to destroy the market first, and what happens they have the authority to do that and have a reasonable excuse.

I think all forms of banning using social media platforms is not a mistake in bitcoin virtual currency but the number of ICO scams that promote programs from promoted projects using social media platforms. This prohibition is aimed at avoiding ICO promos that mislead users of social media platforms.

Crptocurrency scares them especially with its decentralized nature which allows users to send and receive money without any interference from any central authoritative party. Especially, the governments and banks are so scared of the kind of power cryptocurrency and its blockchain technology gives to the people. The banks and governments wish to be in control of our financing all the time, which they know cryptocurrency wouldn't allow that.

well i can say that those people who are frustating the cryptocurrencies are the people that who doesn't believe that cryptocurrency will be the way to success and they are the people who does not believe cryptocurrency is the future.

I think that all of this is a sort of a conspiracy to bring down the concurrency market, because since the beginning  now one though that it would reach this point,k they all though it was just a bubble and soon it will destroy it self, but as time went on people started making some huge profits from this, and this only made it so popular that it literally took over the investments market, and that is not good for the rest of the parties involved in the market, they see concurrency as a threat to all of their assets and they don't want it to stop its progress.

The real agenda of all this news banning or hacking is to make the bitcoins price dump. They want it to dump more and also a preparing for regulations around so any news is directly effects on prices. They are buying every dumps and selling when it bounce up and repeat this is not new anymore. But it creates anxiety formost of the new investors.

actually bro twitter isn't involve on that issue which is only facebook and google i think. .and in my view the specific reason behind those banning scenario from those two popular site is due to  of some scam schemes nowadays  that always patronizing their platform which is always posting false articles and testimonials to obtain more clients in easy way..

maybe they want to become the 2% rich in the whole world and see the new rich as their competitors, or maybe they want to buy in dip again and become the monopol in crypto as well by cutting the new comers.

All the big investors who have invested a huge amount of money into the world of crypto currency do this trick as they know that spreading the negativity and the frustration amongst the people will result in lot of chaos and that the people will go for panic selling which will then help them in buying more coins at much cheaper rates and that they will be able to have greater profit later.

It is their strategy, we should not be surprise to that scenario because they are doing that to make the other people sell their bitcoin so the price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will go down hard and that is the time when they will be entering the market to grab a lot of cheap cryptocurrencies and they will become a bag holder for a long time and do the same tactic again.

These campaniles have nothing except crypto. Actually the problem is that a lot of scam projects are also being launched in crypto. Now if the developers of those projects use Google for promoting their projects and then fool people, it will hamper the image of Google. Such a reputed company cannot afford to loose its reputation as it will affect other advertising opportunities as well.

meeh
i have been trough many bad news for bitcoin, all who have to frustate with cryptocurrency is just still new with it, from invest/trading in stock market come to cryptocurrency, thats has different if investing in this crypto market

I think its not that everyone wants to frustrate cryptocurrency. But cryptos and fake ICOs these days have been the major concern for almost everyone. They are banning such ads because these ads affect the repo of the platform itself. Their reputation is griefly harmed as they have been promoting the same thing or atleast same thing has been flowing around on their platform.

It's not necessarily affecting their own platform, because if that would be the case, they should have taken the necessary actions against these ads years ago already. It's obvious that they have been forced to do this, which could be coming either from share holders feeling regulatory pressure, or just the businesses advertising on these social media sites. I read an article about how businesses don't want to see their ads being shown alongside ads of services involving high risks, violence, medical ads, etc. It makes sense as well, because all the social media sites that stopped allowing these ads, significantly depend on ad income. In other words, they have no choice other than to start ditching all these ads. It's not an attack on crypto, and for that reason people shouldn't see it as such.

OP could've stumbled upon an article saying that twitter will ban crypto ads. Coindesk had an article (https://www.coindesk.com/twitter-will-ban-cryptocurrency-ads-in-two-weeks-says-report/) about it but there are other articles (http://articles) saying that there's no confirmation yet if twitter will ban them or not. If the report is true twitter would still allow to advertise crypto ads as said on the article that there would be exception. Not everyone wants to bring the value of the crypto down if you want to blame a group of people for this bad news it should be those people making scam coins.

Whatever is good and precious alway attract attacks from the people and that is what you see happening to cryptocurrency now. Many did not understand it and some see it as a scam and other see it as a system that is going to take over their jobs.  Bitcoin will come our a successful system that every sectors of our economy will like to used it in solving all the problems in our society.

and yet it's just your words that are built on your desires and beliefs. But each belief must be supported by some facts, but so far, I do not see any Facts, regarding the fact that Bitcoin will have great prospects in the future.

There is a deep reason behind. Google is operated indirectly by a group which holds of too many sectors in world. They do not wish Bitcoin or any other crypto coin to grow. They intend to grow thier own coins. As they are depending on the market capturing by selling things and etc. The pruchase of the things should be bought by the fiats. When people are moving to crypto, fiat is ignored and they loose the business and the revenue. This is the reason they stand benind supporting to close the crypto. But this will neer stop.

They want to bring the price down for them to invest in lower price. I believe they manipulate the ads to make investors panic and sell theirs stocks and when it does they buy it in a lower price making them start buying at low. Those people who wants to bring down crypto currency are greedy.

I think these companies are doing something right now that will benefit them in the future. They really want to put bitcoin down from its price and they can buy as many as they can. This is the entire reason why they are banning crypto ads. If they are only aiming to ban those ads from scamming crypto's then they should be clear with it but they don't.

Your right in this bro, maybe they have a very big investment in Banks or Stocks. If Bitcoin dominated the world of currency and all the people want to invest in bitcoin, probably their clients will move to crypto and it will be lose to them if this will happen.

Do not really understand and comprehend why google or twitter or Facebook , just now to realise of banning crypto currencies ads for a long time.  Clearing up their systym from any crypto currency advertisement or to clear up those scammers, fake ico and hackers because too many now of those kind  using the system to cheat people. Hopefully they can solve this problem  for a better service to all users of crypto  by means of  using Facebook , Twitter and google.

I will not be surprised if in the future Google decides to create its own coin so it is possible that this current ban is in fact a strategic decision by Google to try to hinder possible competitors, this is a very dishonest tactic by Google but I am not surprised one bit by it, they do not care as long as they are the ones that make a lot of money

This seems like an interesting perspective... Maybe you are right, the blockchain and cryptocurrencies are challenging a certain status quo that has probably been rather lucrative for many large companies, especially ones working precisely on data that is not encrypted and not anonymous..

Expect for these things to happen yet we do know that theres always a government who do loves to watch into things which they do saw that can really put them in doubts.Regulating or minding those big companies with such act, they are just indirectly giving their own reasons but i do always believe that there would be always an influence towards with these kind of decisions.

Google, FB etc want to ban ICO's ads. This is because of past experience of fraud ICO's. FB realizes that these ads running play a major role in attracting investors. So Fb realizes ICO related ads should be banned and this step is taken to protect the investors summit.

I noticed it too. Some people are somewhat negative about crypto. Negative publicity can affect the investments for crypto. We need investors to role the money for crypto and for us to continue working. Maybe because their business is threaten or affected when crytos came out.

Maybe they scared to be compitator the cryptocurrencies they all know that most of people now around the world is using bitcoin or cryptocurrencies. Why not they think that cryptocurrencies is a good opportunity to be partner because they can earn too if they accept bitcoin in the future. But who knows there's always behind of being ban of ads in social media maybe the government.

People did things to frustrate the world of cryptocurrency because they wanted to frustrate its users too.We bitcoiners wanted to help anyone most especially newbies not to believe its current situation where FUDS were everywhere and wanted to manipulate the downfall of price that cause people to panic.I can call it as price manipulation because when people panic they dump their coins instead of holding it inorder to cut their losses.The crypto community wanted to make bitcoin to stay in its standing as the strongest digital currency but if we are weak in the sense that if we hear anything negative about bitcoin we easily believe then we are not worth of having bitcoin in our lives.

It only frustrates those who are still not completely believes in crypto, but to those who already risk their savings in it and plans to do long term investment on it will surely not give  a damn on everything that's happening , just let it flow.

They could go easy with cryptocurrency but seems like ICO marketers are consistently violating much of their policy by spreading overpositive banners with falsify information which sometimes isnt different than a fishy popup ads, as for twitter it is noticable there are how many rumors spread around , fake account, negative entity which lies around, these company would have some level of responsibility whicch they are now trying to avoid, its not about the tecnology of crypto but the people are trying to use them making money

they consider the crypto is going to be a great competitor. Thus began some time ago many ads about crypto start prohibited on facebook, twitter, and Google. This just gives a great impact on the price but for the future of crypto, himself seems not determined by it.

They are scared because of the potential and success of the crypto currencies. gaining popularity regardless of being banned with the social media.

The Google, Facebook and Twitter banning are because a lot of ICO that scammed investors, nothing to do to upset crypto currencies, they afraid they are being accused for cooperate with fraud ICO to scammed people that is why they want to stop advertising the ico and crypto product

I think they do not mean to frustrate crypto, in article it's been said they ban the crypto ads because most likely is a scam investment, try to look on the other side, chances are it's because many ICO projects are not really running the project and just carrying off investors' money.

Maybe, they really not to destroy or frustrate other people with crypto. Maybe they are just not well informed about it. And they just wanted to warn the people for possibly they think there are lots of scam investments.

From my own point of view it seems crytocurrency reference to blockchain technology and decentralization is a major threat to their existence there are so many corporations adopting decentralized operations and there is tendency that cryptos will be frustrated by those organisations.

It is a natural force of the market - for example the iCO bans are to prevent money scams - trhere are people who are uninformed and they are losing a lot of money on these scammers. Little things like this can't shake the validity of digital currency in general however...

Their reasons might be valid in banning somecrypto ads. Google, Facebook and Twitter just want to protect their users from possible scams from crypto and ICO related ads. The google ban is for any kind of ads related to cryptocurrencies and related contents will no longer be allowed in Google's AdWords platform. But some argued that there may be a bigger issue at play and not just the reason of protecting their consumers or users. Whatever the outcome of this restrictions, i'm hoping that it would not affect cryptocurrencies in the future.

That is correct, although this things makes it a nice decisions that i also delighted the implementation of what has done when google, facebook and twitter declaring a total banned for cryptocurrency promotion and advertising which it brings a guarantee ICO in a cryptomarket making a scam ICO be automatically screen up direct because only legit ICO can afford for advertising project.

yes, I agree with you that now with the very popular bitcoin, of course there will be from some parties who want to benefit from the popularity of bitcoin by creating a ponzi scheme by delivering some negative news as well as an intimidation. I do not think we should be overemphasized by some news that conveys negative things about bitcoin. as a bitcoin user, the best thing to do is stay focused in the future to do all the things aimed at the improvement bitcoin will get. because if viewed logically I do not think there is a negative impact owned by bitcoin there are only a few parties who just want to profit from the existence of bitcoin owned.

There are so many countries in the world that do not accept ceyptocurrencies against it Fiat money.and many countries also ban the cryptocurrency for their own country ! Social media is also front here by people .so all of us are following their governments .I think Google is not going to be banned by all the crypto related ads! And everyone will get the profit from here and in essense , efforts to be heated to ban crypto are always in its form can get.

Despite the restrictions, Twitter CEO’s is a bitcoin believer: Jack Dorsey recently told the Sunday Times that bitcoin will eventually be more important than the dollar and will become the internet’s single global currency within 10 years. In some ways, bitcoin and Twitter face similar challenges—they have a lot of promise if they can figure out how to restrain the bad actors.

After reading something like this and then this news of twitter also becoming a part of the race, it makes me wonder on the plight of all the bitcoiners!!

Twitter has been known as one of the most famous forum for the crypto ads and spreading the awareness regarding the same. Undoubtedly many crytpo scams also have been known to be reported here but twitter has been one of the most popular space for spreading BTC awareness.

Social-media platforms are keeping cryptos away as regulators cast an increasingly wary eye on the sector globally. - I came across this statement @ https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-26/twitter-joins-facebook-google-in-banning-crypto-coin-sale-ads  . Probably it is one of the major reasons for every social media platform to become the part of this race!  ::)

Its normal how many times we heard about crypto bans but its not been totally all crypto banned. Maybe for some other reason they banned it for good by means of protecting the users of sharing phishing links or to scam other people using social networking sites.

Surely many market players who do not want their markets broken because of cryptocurrency. Many things that some people do to reduce cryptocurrency, from the issue does not match reality and many other things. Of course it does not damage them mentally because in this forum we can know why cryptocurrency goes down.

probably because the price of crypto fell drastically and thought that crypto is a scam. when crypto prices rise to the moon, in fact there is no bad news about crypto. they are all worried about it.

It is maybe because those people who got scammed by some fake ICOs reported it to those site who was mentioned by the OP. And I think these sites just wanted to protect their reputations because they don't want to be the reason why people are being victim by a scam. There are still possible reasons why they wanted to bann ICO and this is the reason why crypto continue to decline its value.

Yes for me the beginner is sometimes in doubt with the existence of ads or sites that prohibit the use of cryptocurrency, but I've read from articles of seniors using bitcoin very promising even many successful.

There are so many reasons why people keep on making fake news against crypto currency especially those whose business is investing and maybe also banks because they are afraid of Bitcoin for all they know that investing inn Bitcoin doubles your money especially when you invest in good project so banks are afraid of this.

Its all about insecurity, banks are afraid on bitcoin because of the opportunities to earn big profits. I think some banks are paiding a person to frustrate the bitcoin forum so that investors are afraid to invest money. We all know that some projects error to accomplish the task so I think the investors are got scammed on their ICO and no great comeback of profits so they try started frustrating the forum. 

For some reason they are trying to playsafe. We all know that there are scam ICO's. Social media doesn't want to be part of that so they decided to ban all of them just be safem Same thing as google. All of this happen because of those scammers leaving a bad impression to social media companies. Let's hope the they will reconsider their decision and be back as normal in terms of advertisement.

This is something that many do not really understand they think of bitcoin as just a currency but the truth is that the blockchain is probably going to change the way we think about storing information and any service or business that relies on storing the information is going to be affected by it and as we know Google, Facebook and many other business rely on it to earn money.

They are not frustrated with cryptocurrency. It is a rumor that they have their own internal plan of making their own crypto and that's why they have to eliminate the advertising of other crypto's. And another reason is they are preventing those scammy ICOs to advertise on their network which is ideal to all of the crypto enthusiasts and even newbies.

In my humble opinion, its because:
1. They being pushed by the fiat money maker
2. Theres so many scam and fake project in the ICO
3. They work for the government that scare of the existence of cryptocurrency.
Thats is..

There are many several factors as to why others banning this cryptocurrency. They don't truly understands yet the cryptocurrency existence to the users. Yes even others doubt it still many users treat bitcoin as the best platform these days.

I think those people doing things to frustrate crytocurrency is those people that believe it, and maybe don't know how to do it. But it does not affect the crypto popularity.

I think some of the reason why other ban bitcoin is because there are a lot of people victims by scam and the problem here is because they just invested in scam without knowing if that is real that they can get profit or not.

besides that i think a lot of domestic investors who want investors cryptocurrency re-investment in their country. because maybe they are afraid their economic condition will be sluggish because investors moved investment into cryptocurency

A lot of people do not understand cryptocurrencies, a lot of people have been scammed using cryptocurrencies and now they tend to think that cryptocurrencies itself is a scam and they are just being careful.

they are not intended, but this is only because stymies many a discussion about good crypto in social media that not all people are interested in and this will just be trash just for people who don't know about this.

No its not that you don't get the whole topic. They are spreading big negative news and spread it to create a dump and its not to scam. If you have bitcoins and you sold because of panicked and you blame crypto for it thats a scam for the others. In the other cases they sold because of panick and buy back when the price is much higher. Whales have take their time to play the market they want to make more and more bitcoins.

I don't know how you are saying bitcoin is an scam.Do you how much people invest their in bitcoin.I had huge amount of bitcoin and I had keep it for my future.In November 2017 ,I had sell my holding bitcoin and brought a new bike with the profit.

I'm more inclined to your third point, I'm sure the government will take a part in the affairs (about crypto) in social media which can still be seen by most governments department who haven't really legalized crypto. Anyhow until now seems it still looks a concern because of the characteristics of crypto.

It's fear and unruly. It may be unintentional but these things can't be helped, it's the same
as promoting something good for a cause. Whatever the motives might be, it will always
continue to happen. Scams are one major influence in such a widespread of negative news
on cryptocurrency. People become frustrated, and some will simply give in to the whole
negative assumption, but to the ones well informed it's just another normal day in the
cryptocurrency community. Get your facts straight and authenticate the source.

may be their reason for the rapid growth of crypto assets, extreme volatility in traded prices, and their uncertain relationship with the traditional financial world can easily create new vulnerabilities. and also many ICO or coin scam projects.

We need to understand that Google, Facebook, Twitter are all media giants that are inherently monopolists in their field and their owners are the owners and co-founders of banks for whom cryptocurrency is something that takes away some of their profits and puts them under threat of their existence, therefore having an impact on social media groups they exert the greatest possible pressure on bitcoin and all other cryptocurrencies in general. I am sure that we will see and hear similar bitcoin attacks from media tycoons and bankers, but these attacks will become increasingly cynical and sophisticated.

Its the market that make them react what the market is doing. its just frustrating to see how the market is doing though. Most of us may asked why the holders dump the tokens they hold but its understandable to see they are just doing what they need to do in order to stop  the loss before anything else will happen. the market does what the market does,.

They had a serious reason - scammers just flooded the ICO market - and nobody could do nothing with it so that was an only way.

Normal thing and cant really be avoided since thats how market moves.Sellers and Buyers would normally react into the recent happening in the market.Its really frustrating when you do see such situation on where theres a negativity around which would result into profit taking while its still early which would really result into such price decrease.We cant blame such act since as an investor as a trader i would definitely do the same thing.

I think this widespread misconception is all a misunderstanding and a common deliberate
case of misinformation. Classic propaganda to deceive or simply put down any form interest. 
I think people who frustrate cryptocurrency are the ones disappointed with them, maybe
some of them have personal agendas, there must be something in it for them. It's another
strategy and scheme with motives unbeknownst to all.

Its about uncertainty, banks are anxious on bitcoin in light of the chances to procure enormous benefits. I think a few banks are paiding a man to baffle the bitcoin discussion with the goal that financial specialists are hesitant to contribute cash. We as a whole realize that a few ventures mistake to achieve the undertaking so I think the speculators are got misled on their ICO and no awesome rebound of benefits so they attempt began disappointing the discussion.

Strongly agree with you I have never seen anyone losing money in bitcoin because they people who use to come to me for guideline about bitcoin investment  I sue to tell them only one thing that is NEVER PANIC so this is the only secret of my profit with bitcoin, I buy bitcoin at low price then I hold it for long time without selling my bitcoin until I get satisfied with the market condition, when I find market is green I sell and when it is red I prefer holding which never let me get frustrated.

To me that this is really an excuse, since they do not really care about the public what they really care about is their own business, and are predicting that in the future cryptocurrencies are going to affect their business and so they are taking measures right now as a way to protect themselves, make no mistake they are private companies and they only care about the profits and nothing more.

Its not related to what OP is talking about. He wants to know why the different platforms like Google are going to ban the ads related to the crypto currency. The fact is simple, the crypto is not in line with the government regulations and thus it could damage the reputation for the platforms like them. They are big one and they will never want to go in that way whether or not they are receiving huge money for the same. Sometimes we have to think about the reputation score rathar than the money. Off course that is why they have taken the steps like those!

Its not about people dumping the cons and stuff like that. Not even close to whats the discussion.

Especially those who own banks because crypto currencies is a threat to them and also the government because they want to make their own crypto.

banning 3 media is very felt its influence on the harbor bitcoin until now and in the aftermath after that India also forbid they may prohibit for security reasons and may also to develop their own crypto

I would not say at this stage they are necessarily disappointed, I just feel it is a strategy to want to get in at a better price. I would rather call it a deliberate act, and a manipulative way which most of the banks have already been used to. Like you said, it is more of a personal agenda and that should really tell people that if something like this is going on, it shows how strong and better things are going to get in the future.

Yeah, that is absolutely one thing we cannot change and for one thing, cryptocurrency is actually beginning to behave more like the stock market. We will always have bad news, regulations that would want to clamp down on things, a lot of changes, and we will also have positive ones, but at the end, no matter how the level of frustration is, this is a market that has come to stay and nothing is going to be changing that.

because ban makes many people are afraid of his investment. let alone the added bitcoin prices are down so they are more afraid again, so that happened btc price crashes

Its concerning uncertainty, banks ar anxious on bitcoin in light-weight of the possibilities to acquire monumental advantages. i believe a couple of banks ar paiding a person to baffle the bitcoin discussion with the goal that money specialists ar hesitant to contribute money. we have a tendency to as a full understand that a couple of ventures mistake to attain the enterprise thus i believe the speculators ar got misled on their ICO and no impressive rebound of advantages so that they try began unsatisfactory the discussion.

because of not all things in crypto that the result is always true. We know that Crypto is a field that is difficult to predict the outcome. This is why big names such as google, facebook, twitter is reluctant to spread the word about things that have no certainty or arguably almost a scam.

Maybe they protect their platform from crypto because they don't want to affected if crypto will crash. We all know that crypto is risky and no one can if always lose or win so I think social media don't want to involve into crypto even it's a lot of their user is using crypto.

Maybe people or groups who want to thwart Bitcoin, they feel this Bitcoin is their competitor in getting the money. And that reason makes sense. but I'm sure, although many people do not like Bitcoin, or even they are trying to kill Bitcoin. But bitcoin will continue to grow, because people already know, if Bitcoin is very much useful for life.

This is due to the policy of large companies towards their users. So they care about the money of ordinary people.

yOur right on this one mate,its all about competition because same as facebook,google and twitter BITCOINTALK.ORG is a social network site,and advertising bitcoin and cryptocurrency to their sites are extension of accessibility of this community thats why they ate doing some grounds for this competitors..
