This news broke a few days ago and during that time I think somehow it also affected the price. I do not think it has something to do with money laundering as google says their are trying to prevent advertisements because of scams ICO which I think  their users best interest.

Also with youtube banning advertisements it does not mean you can not watch anything crypto related. They will not ban the crypto groups nor the self proclaimed crypto experts.

This is just a minor setback and this type of regulation from giant companies can be expected since Crypto currency is getting more popular each day. 

Ever news affects the crypto users especially the holders, I don't know why we get too affected on banning when in reality it is just the ICO that needs to be alarmed not the market, before I gets too panicked when price drops but after I see how those coins I sell before increase now, I don't fear now as long as the project of that coin is still moving.

I don't think they'll really do it :)). I also know that Facebook announced to ban all ICO and crypto ads on Facebook but for now I still can see a lot of ads about Tokia and other ICO proejcts :))). I think Google will do the same, they will only remove ads of scam crypto and ICO project but other truthworthy project and crypto will be advertised on Google the same as before.

This is true the news about Facebook banning crypto was weeks ago but you can still see crypto ads on the website. Google is a bigger company and also understand technology I am certain they will find a way on how to separate the shady ICO with trustworthy ICO. 



For the effect of it i can safely assume that this type of news will affect the price since there are so many weak hands in this market. Sometime they do not read the article and just check the title and assume that the google will ban cryptocurrency. They do not realize that google just wants their users to avoid scam ICO.

Considering what you've said, I think you should check out the articles too. As of now, Google haven't ban cryptocurrency related ads . The announced new policy will be in effect this coming June 2018 and looks like it's a final decision. Why on June and not today? I have a guess that they still need to grant and wait for the end of contract for these type of ads (cryptocurrency , gambling-related - skin betting and more) or maybe, simply because the policies aren't very clear/smooth yet.

People don't panic because of the news but because the price gets affected with the news. That is,  if it won't affect the price, people won't have business with the fud.

One thing I think about the reason for news on icos affecting bitcoin is that hodlers of bitcoin don't really understand the difference between bitcoin and ico.

I don't see any possibility of money laundering through crypto advertisements. I mean what makes you think that crypto ads can get your money laundered! The crypto advert is meant for publishing different project ideas amongst the targeted people who are interested in spending money into these projects. These projects are mostly related to the different utility tokens, automobile industry or even healthcare projects etc. If you think that by any means this is money laundering then I dont think you have understood the concept completely. Both are different things in first place.

It looks like the tweeters will start doing it as has been done its relation google and facebook. I don't think there is a heavy influence from what they have done because ordinary people will respond as FUD. Bitcoin will remain outstanding as usual because most people especially bitcoin users already know the existence of the news.

To be honest nothing else will be left to ban, you'd be surprised on how this news on Facebook and Google will re-circulate on our desktop monitors and they'll adding some "new info" or "clarifications" about their news. I have seen the Facebook Ban news in as early as January and now it keep re-surfacing and re-surfacing saying that FB will lift the ban and vice versa. This you will know that this so-called News creators are only creating fake news just to have headlines in order for their traffic to keep flowing in their website which they don't really care about the bad effect they are doing in spreading negative and fake news.

I'm considering that why they have to wait until this June to totally ban Crypto and ICO ads? If they really want to do it they can do it right now, maybe they're planning to do something maybe they only remove ads of scam project only :). I hope so :). If they ban all ads of both scam and legit ICO and cryptocurrency, it'll make crypto world a little bit difficult to find out another good place to advertise.

I've seen the same thread for the nth time.
We saw the result, many speculated that they are the reason for the current fall.
It can be a good thing so those scams will not have the chance to advertise through google.
Legit ones are affected too.

As both facebook and google have banned the advertisements related to the Cryptocurrency market so that Innocent People don't get scams. They are just taking some preventive measure for their users so that they do not end up with any kind of scams or fraudulent activities. It's not going to be good for the cryptomarket because google and facebook are the top two websites where Marketing and sales are done on a high scale basis and banning there may affect the bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for sure.

after facebook, i surf bitcoin. because without bitcoin my day is incomplete. so to complete that i am logging in to bitcoin and see some updates to make sure that i did not miss something. something important that makes me got a higher stakes and gaining more profit. who do not want that? i know that we all want that because that is our dream.

Banned in Facebook to advertise CryptoCurrency? But I saw there are still advertisement about the bitcoin/ CryptoCurrency.

Yes it could be banning the ads will impact on the decline in BTC prices because investors usually get information about the bitcoin world of google, but good they ban ads on facebook and google is to prevent the theft of crypto currency and provide more security is very tight...

Facebook says it will revisit the policy and its enforcement mechanisms as its signals improve.In the mean time,Facebook is encouraging people to report content that violates this policy.
 “This policy is part of an ongoing effort to improve the integrity and security of our ads, and to make it harder for scammers to profit from a presence on Facebook”

Let's not worry too much.

we have to forget these news because they only create an unnecessary panic... I have not seen the statistics that show how many scam ICOs are released on facebook and google for them to make such a decision, or do they want to pull the bag from banks and governments to have a good image? Anyway, we have to forget about this news, we will have other services and as for the subject of ICOs scam, it will be very difficult to fight them and at these times we have to have regulations, but regulations without exaggeration.


many people post links from hyip/ponzi sites, maybe it's time for facebook to do something about it

Well obviously i don't think that this will affect bitcoin in particularity, all the ads that face book and google have banned, are ads for ICO and tokens, they haven't banned bitcoin ads because they don't exist, up until now bitcoin made it  all the way to 10k without relaying too much about advertisement, in my opinion this actually might boost the bitcoin prices and investments, because as i said all the banned ads are related to ICO, and they are the reason why we are not seeing usual investments into bitcoin, and with them gone all the money will go into the bitcoin market.

In my point of view, this is definitely bad for bitcoin or any cryptocurrency. Facebook and Google are one of the most searched websites, meaning many people across the globe see what is in there. Since crypto related advertisements are now banned on those sites, therefore, many people can no longer see such ads that may probably result to huge reduction on ICO's sales. But ICO developers are not the only one who are affected in this news, even the whole crypto community does. Very sad to know that we lost a medium to bridged the gap between crypto knowledge and people.

That is good thing from google if they stop showing ICO ads, because most of them are scam. Those ICO project should use members for advertising them on twitter and facebook  (bounty campaign), so people who follow them on social media can see about ICO..  btw. I think that banning ICO ads from Google won't have effect on Bitcoin price at all.

Because some people specially the newbies have been misinterpreted the FUD news. They thought that banning of ICO or any cryptocurrency advertisement in google or bitcoin makes a bad effect in the market. That's why a lot of people withdraw some of their investment in cryptocurrency.

In this article it is said that this update will go into effect on June 18, that's 3 months from today - a lot of things might change, so it's too early to make any conclusions yet. And I don't think that this will affect BTC spreading. People always find out about cool things, no matter what social and mass media do. 

I think it is good to regulate the ads than totally banning it,because it will cut down their revenue a lot too.But still there is now way to find the legits and scam ICOs so they stopped promoting all the ads.But in future they may arrange separate team for reviwing the ads before prmoting them straightly.So it is good for them and also for the people too.

Now one of the largest Russian search engines (yandex.ru), also began to block the advertising of ICO projects.

I don't think so. They didn't banned it totally as I still see some crypto ads in google. But if ever that happens, google has a BIG reason for it. Relevant or irrelevant then I will still support both crypto and google.

What do you expect? Facebook and Google are two titans in social media industry, so for sure there will be a impact. But the question is, how big and how long is the impact gonna be? In my opinion, it will be short lived. How many negative news that we have overcome since the inception of bitcoin? And we have seen much worst news that this and we survived. The only long term effect that I'm seeing is that those legit ICO will have to look for other platforms to promote their product. Its really sad though to see, they are really affected, but I guess it will just be a matter of time that social medias will have to weed out those bad eggs so that they can't take advantage and possible scam more people in the future.

Naturally, the market would react negatively to such an event. Major websites such as Facebook and Google removing these type of ads could be a huge blunder short-term, but in the long run, this move will greatly diminish the amount of scams happening due to people being gullible and easily attracted by these ponzi adverts. The price might hurt right now but this is actually a great favor made by these tech giants.

Not long for now they will going to announce that they will accept it again. It is all about manipulation and we should learn to join them with it.

Banning ICOs may have a ripple effect due to the advertisement advantages in
facebook, google and others.In the short term, this may affect the value of crypto
currencies.In the long term, there shall be resolutions from viable ICOs and
major coinmarket top-notchers to create a formidable crypto digital advertisement
sites which may be independent of facebook and google.These are attempts by elites
to frustrate the popularity of crypto currenecies.

Every news can affect on the holders of it, when there is a negative news a lot of beginner in holding coins would panic and the tendency of it they sell their coin even if the value is too small and that is the reason why market is dumping so hard and hard to recover, but I think that news is just a fud so many hodlers panic again and they will lost their profit.

This will affect and yeah, it's already affected the price of the Bitcoin but definitely it's just for a quite short period of time, and please correct me if i am wrong, FB only banned those links for some MLM cryptocurrencies and not totally ban all of them, look at your wall, still, there's a lot of that posts promoting cryptocurrencies.

I do not understand what will happen to bitcoin, will bitcoin be extinct, but we as bitcoin users must be united in order to realize its glory. but with the ban making the crypto movement narrower, and hopefully the founder of this crypto can fix it.

Twitter will ban the crypto ads too. Google will ban the ads on July. They will take their decision back in the next 2 months.

The ICO market will be affected not the holder not even the established coins. It's just a ban to protest scams, not to revoke cryptos. I don't think I'm going to take any action with my tokens/coins and every hodler should move smoothly as they do. One more thing, It's good to ban scam ICO's for advertising, many scammers are taking advantage of this. Investing $100 in advertising but taking $10000 without giving anything to the original users.

Yeah it's a different thing if you're going to go for the meaning of money laundering, I think the proper terminology for this is the scam, money laundering might be after you got scammed cause the scammers need to make their illegal and stolen assets into a legitimate form of money, For the OP's question it is for the protection of the future potential investors in the cryptocurrency because I've encountered tons of people who got scammed from a crypto project found on a google or facebook ads later on they keep telling that cryptocurrency is just a scam accusing the whole crypto a scam can't blame them though.

Google and facebook are just one company. After them, we never know whose next but since these two giants companies are powerful, then you now have the hints whose next. In terms of negative impact of these actions, yes, there are. It will greatly affect the ICOs since they are relying on popularity or reaching more audience as investors.

I do not see any money theft, maybe the policies that made facebook and google it only prevents the scam ads that are earned by bounty ads. but I see for now it's fine.

It is the fault of the investor if they get lose in bitcoin. price of bitcoin never remain the same as it use to increase and decrease but the mistake people use to so is they withdraw their own bitcoin saving after the small fall in bitcoin price which is the worst thing according to me, if they are new in bitcoin better to learn about bitcoin from experienced people instead of relying on YouTube and facebook only, I am sure it will give you inspiration and will remove all your doubts about bitcoin that comes into your mind after the fake news about bitcoin future.

Bitcoin itself has become large enough and is not dependent on any advertising medium. ICOs and other crypto ventures may suffer because of these bans. That is the problem with having these self-appointed protectors of consumers. It creates an uneven playing field. Google has even been penalized in the past for showing results of its selling sites ahead of others. You can imagine what will happen if Google introduces its own cryptocurrency.

This will definitely cause a bad impact on crypto, especially on ICOs. With the prohibition of advertising ICOs projects on google, the marketing they do will be hampered and very difficult to develop projects under construction. This is bad news. IMO

But i still see the ICOs ads anywhere in facebook even is messenger , and the same for Google , maybe it's banned only for few countries ?

The effects are going to be mostly negative, Google and Facebook are two of the most popular websites in the entire world and are used probably by billions of people every single day the fact they banned crypto related ads means cryptocurrencies cannot reach a wider audience, this is not going to affect the big projects like bitcoin but it is going to affect the projects that are just starting out.

this is really bad news, because facebook has banned ads about bitcoin. and now there is news that google will also ban ads about bitcoins. But I still believe that there will be parties that support bitcoin, even though google does not support it.

I also saw a couple of crypto advertisements from stox and essentia one but they are in a form of a giveaway (airdrop and contest) there's nothing to lose other than people's time comparing it to an ico where people have a chance to lose money. I guess they still allow it but have strict requirements about advertising crypto.

You should read the link from the OP to know when will google start banning crypto ads.

After Facebook then it's Google banning the ads of all coins this may be lead a confusion to others because of banning they may think bitcoin is not legal.

For the effect of it i can safely assume that this type of news will affect the price since there are so many weak hands in this market. Sometime they do not read the article and just check the title and assume that the google will ban cryptocurrency.

not like that, cryptocurrency ads blocking plan by google may be done in april. so now ads are still there and after that will disappear.

Absolutely this is really a bad news in a history of bitcoin currency today. Banning bitcoin advertisement by google which is the largest online ad provider in the world and facebook one of the giant social media advertising. A skins betting ads is permanently banned for both parties which a procedure is very highly demand of it.

Maybe it is not a good thing. Banning ads about bitcoin may affect its value. Facebook and google have huge audience. But anyway, maybe it could help also since there are lots of scammers. Let us just be positive and pray that something good will happen.

You are right somehow, Facebook and Google's ban on crypto ads is good in a sense that scam related incidents greatly decreased because people with bad intentions now lost a great place to do their evil acts but to be honest, we can't deny that this step made by the two large companies not only bring us benefits but harmful effects also. Due to this ban, the sales of legit ICOs are affected because people who can be able to see their ads are reduced and the population growth of our community (crypto world) is affected also since we lose a platform where we can educate and encourage the society to also use cryptocurrency.

The scheduled ban of ICO this June after the facebook ban early this year would have a negative impact on the price. I understand that google wants to prevent advertising fraud ICOs. Hopefully, making this move would eliminate fraud ICOs but legit ICOs are also affected due to this move. So the best thing to do now is to be keen in chosing ICO. Let's not focus on this news instead we'll double our readings and research in every ICO we are planning to promote. This is to ensure we are promoting legit ICOs to potential investors.

They only banned the wrong ones and possible scams/scheme that may lead to damaging those two's reputation and security, we all know what is happening scam here and there endless scams is happening almost every minute someone is scammed.
All the news about BITCOIN being risky are also affecting the communities choice of independent freedom which can also lead to another problems and may result to endless problems.

I dont think that this news will going to be happen, but if happen it will surely affect the crypto world.
But rightnow the only thing that affect the crypto world are alll those news that are false, it make all investors do pannic selling. Which one of the reason why a coin drops its price. We should be optimistic all the time, just always be positive.

Facebook has said it forbids crypto advertising.
but I was seeing crypto ads. Google will allow these ads... Ban will not be permanent.. The prohibitions are for chewing :)

Well definitely is has pros and cons but more in disadvantages without these ads a newly made project or token can never be advertise or known to crypto investor. I wonder how much the bankster paid for this to happen but there will always be a solution for this by making and developing crypto forums that has many digital currency enthusiast like bitcointalk.

Facebook really banned some crypto-related advertisements, i really don't know their rules regarding this matter but they are very selective, they allowed some others but they banning some, that's why we still seeing some other crypto advertisements on our FB wall.
