Bitcoin Forum

Hi guys! Rumors are swirling that Twitter could also ban cryptocurrency ads, following a trend started by Facebook and Google. There's been some speculation on how and if this will affect the market. Anyone got some articles to share on this? Do you think there will be some affects in the long term? Look forward to hearing what you think!

The only way it could affect Bitcoin would be by reducing the demand for people to buy it to put their money into all the contemptible shite that advertises. Beyond that I can't see much else.

I'm not sure I've ever seen an ad that looked legit. And I'm curious how they're going to keep everything out. The truly beneficial bans are things like phishing ads for blockchain.info but I can imagine masses of that stuff will slip through anyway.

The time to really sweat is if they went after content but since they don't seem all that bothered about ISIS, nazis and child abusers that's not going to happen.

this might not necessarily be true, they might only be pushing bitcoin into becoming more self sufficient , the thing is vacuums have a funny way of always getting filled and all this might do is force the creation of a group , company that deals directly with crypto promotion which is what cryptos need right now some dedicated organized advertising .

Are we absolutely certain that everything is getting the boot? I find it hard to believe somewhere like Coinbase or Circle would be refused, not that I know how much they bother advertising right now.

As for everyone else, they'll have to focus on getting real press and attention by delivering quality projects. Hardly the end of the world.

I do not think the main reason behind the drop is to block ads, yes it have an effect but have a slight impact, and also I'm more likely to undo this ban, and there will be only a reduction or prevention of ads that trying to fraud

Twitter shareholders complain that the company don't generate revenue and with ban of these ads their income will be much smaller. Strange decision as for me.

It is a pity that such a terrible campaign is on BTC. This can really be the future when it comes to finances. Titter is quite liberal. So far nothing promises to be that way.

It do not have any thing with the price. The ad ban do not manipulate the price but only people hear that a bad news came and they start panic sell and after a few days or a week they forget about it and they again start to buy bitcoin and then everything become better. So it do not have any longer affect on the price but it only have a smallest affect on the price and then everything go better.

I am not sure if it is going to affect the price of bitcoin because not bitcoin is promoted through those ads,but new ICO's and most of them dont end up with a successful coin released.Even though facebook and google are the best ways to promote something I think  there are lots of other ways to promote cryptocurrency, like bitcoin related forums, yotube channels, twitter, telegram and many other. Anyway bitcoin doesnt need any promotion since it is already very popular and anyone that gets involved with cryptocurrencies is going to read and learn first about bitcoin since you can find a lot of informations about bitcoin.

The attack isn't on Bitcoin but brought about by so many scam coins. When people say btc these days they are talking crypto I general. Yes these ad bans are proven to have an effect on the price of the coins but I think long term, if btc and certain alts remain popular or utilized things will recover fine.

I think the bans are a knee jerk reaction to the increased publicity that cryptocurrency is getting and the rising pressure on social media to act on potentially damaging content on their platforms. Personally I don't think it will be a permanent ban, and is just a temporary measure until more safeguards are put in place to protect against scams. How long this will take is another matter; but the fact that some major sports teams are sponsored by cryptocurrency, and the number of traditional companies using services provided by crypto is rising rapidly, are positive signs for the future. It is my belief that they are just scared to give regulators any opportunity to place blame on them if investors are conned out of money, especially when it can be decided depending on individual country regulations. Give it time.

I have not heard anything or read this news before.
twitter does not seem to be doing it, if this is true a lot of people will leave twitter. Because I know a lot of crypto holders who use twitter as a means of communication.
even some campaigns are still using twitter, hopefully this is just a clown nonsense.

 I think that news is had a bad effect to bitcoin user like ico development, bounty campaign and the people who will always participating in bounty.  because facebook and twitter is rhe source of income to promote ico advertisement
 and i think they had a bad effect  to all coins price in the market.

I think ad bans to affect prices short term because already people are learning this everywhere in the long run. but speculation is quickly affecting the market in the short term. Like other news

Hello also friend.
twitter and cryptocurrency issues.
because twitter follow the footsteps facebook and google.
so Twitter is reportedly planning to ban crypto ads and initial coin offerings (ICO) in January.
facebook prohibits ads for currency like bitcoin in deceptive marketing efforts, while google follows last week.

I think it will never happen to twitter. it may only include ad restrictions.
and if it does happen that twitter will be banned from cryptocurrency ads, its biggest impact may be on some ICO projects.

Actually ban on crypto related ad open up an space for crypto based adnetwork to flourish and offer higher rate to publishers, adsense have dominated whole advertisement market for decades now its turn for crypto adnetwork to take over.

This is another attempt to limit crypto adoption...

The google,  fb and twitter ad ban is for our safety and good. Just take a look. Fb, Twitter and Google cannot guard the ads promoted in their platform.  Majority of crypto ads are philsting and promoting scams.  Better turn it off to prevent harm. If we really care about bitcoin,  then promote it via word of mouth to our friends.

I don't think it's that ads are necessarily phishing or scams. It's the viability of the projects themselves. Advertising on popular sites gives less than average projects more exposure than they would get otherwise, therefore creating an illusion of success. I would like to think that the majority of investors do their research before getting involved in any project, but I guess that history in other areas tells us that's not true. Everyone wants to make a quick buck, but the truth is (and always has been) that if something seems to good to be true, then it normally is.

They are to ban fraudulent ICO advertisements and avoid loss of people's interests, but this is a devastating blow to some good encryption projects. I think that these advertisements should be strictly guarded and audited rather than forbidding all ICO advertisements.

I think cooperation with various platforms is very important. Now that the effectiveness of social media advertising is far more effective than official advertising, the shielded ads on the platform will certainly have a particularly big impact on Bitcoin.

Probably right. I think it will indeed have an effect in the short term but maybe not in the long run. As many of you pointed out, I think this will hit amazing new projects with real potential hard.

Yes, I think twitter, facebook and Google are banning bitcoins that will affect the price of bitcoin. But I think they will soon regret that decision. They will accept bitcoin in the near future. When they ban encryption, they will cut back on a lot of revenue.

Ico Ads baned in facebook, google and the latest issue that twitter will be baned ico ads, i think it will be very influential but not for long term effect. Facebook, google and twitter their biggest income is in advertising, and there are so many ICO ads right now. is a loss if they are banned ICO ads.

Well as long as its not blocking out all content, I dont think people will be leaving Twitter - if ever that is.

I agree, the value of crypto will be affected in the short term
by the latest news on the social media PAID AD's ban but
in the long term the bans will have no effect, it will be as if
they never existed in the first place.

We need to get over this and stop panicking and spreading FUD.

People won't stop using Crypto-Currency because some big platforms aren't allowing its advertisement anymore. People will go where the informations/news are, being possible even to increase this forum's traffic, as it will be the main source of informations if social medias and other big sites continue banning Crypto ads. I don't believe the price will suffer on long term for this reason, maybe on short term only.

I think twitter's facebook and Google's ban on encrypting money advertising will affect the price of bitcoin in a short time. But I don't think it will have a big impact on bitcoin in the long run. There are still plenty of social media outlets willing to advertise cryptocurrencies. They end up regretting the decision and accepting it again.

This will surely affect the crypto currency marketing and in turn may hamper the prices little bit as out reach of the different crypto currency will suddenly drop and thus new investor may not know about them at all.

However, I also think that this will be temporary effect as there are many more platforms which do serve the purpose of advertising thus giving it exposure. It is just about the time when these platform will take over the market and people will come to know about the crypto again and so on.

I believe in this regard those projects will be far helpful which are crypto based and social platforms based on decentralisation. Thus their crowdfunding could turn into blessing for the crypto advertisements.

This prohibition should not have a major effect on the long-term but perhaps for the short-term, the effect of such a ban would be felt for bitcoin price movements in various marketplaces. The reputation of bitcoin is well established and many companies are already investing in bitcoin and hence long-term investments using bitcoin will always be profitable compared to short-term investments.

I don't think ads ban will have great effect on the prices of the bitcoin and whole cryptocurrencies.It might have some effect on prices but it will have great impact on the popularity of the coins and will break the trust of the people.This will also increase the fraud activities.

I do not think it will be an effect.I never acted according to the ads.Even things that are advertising are disturbing me.I can not trust them.

It has no impact on the price, I think you are not aware of how big bitcoin is.It can not be damaged by some company not allowing advertising. Just wait for economic collapse that is coming and btc and the rest will moon

bitcoin is big all now ther plan is to drop the price so they can enter

Yes 2 weeks ago "someone" bougth 900 million dolars of btc, the smart people know its going to grow fast

I think it may affect the short term, but looking at the long term I think it will not change much, the idea of digital coins is already widespread in the digital market

Not long term but it will affect the prices for the short term and might cause the prices to go further down but it won't last long, it will bounce off the market and people will get right back in.

Right. The fact is that the cryptocurrency market is becoming more and more popular in the community so advertising bans in the past have only short-term effects on investors' sentiment. But I'm sure that in the near future big corporations like Facebook, Google will open the door to cryptocurrency again because they will not want to lose a huge amount of assets from this advertising activity.

I don’t think so it will going to affect the price, social media like twitter and facebook are not much effective way to target big crypto investors. Just banning ads will never work to bring cryptos down because we still have variety of other ways for promotion.

I don't believe that it will be affect of the Bitcoin price, because, banned ads are good for our goodness and there have no connection among them. There are a lot of deceptive ads, and in my opinion, it is good for us banning ads by Twitter. Only the panic sales maybe affect to price for now.

Short term, yes the people who don't know about this may panic a little bit. Outside of that and for the long term this isn't something that can or would damage the fundamentals or sentiment. We are clear for liftoff 8).

Twitter is becoming a medium that continues to grow with crypto to date.
everyone gets to know crypto through twitter.
not a reason to leave twitter, twitter users strongly believe the twiitter policy will not change.

Personally I do not think that this type of actions affects too much the cryptocurrency market, because in these days there are endless means that allow the free circulation of ideas and propaganda. In fact, after the cases of information manipulation in which some social networks have incurred, I think it is more likely that in the coming months we will see these sites decline before the cryptocurrencies.

In the end, the very essence of the cryptos is to break with the centralization of the economy and information, so it was expected that sooner or later those large monopolies would oppose the proliferation and popularization of cryptocurrencies.

I am wondering why the social media gurus didn't come out at the same time and collectively ban crypto Ads but did it in stages, because if they had done it together, the value would have recovered by now, But it's effects will be temporal just like most bans and sanctions against Bitcoins.

I don't think those issue give big effect on cryptocurrencies and its market prices in long term. precisely the ban will minimize scam coins which affects others coin become more valuable. anyway, bitcoin doesn't need large promotion anymore, it has become very popular nowadays.

I don't think bans on advertising are major deals tbh. Of course in the short term...but it's not a product that needs to be marketed

In long term it will curb the growth of market to develop as advertisements play a key role in getting new users to the market and if this system is banned it will be hard to get new users and gain new heights. Social Media companies should only ban ICO's which seems to be scam and introduce proper verification for accounts rather than simply blocking all their ads and accounts.

It could but as you all know we are a huge community and we support any legit crypto currency-related products and services, it's not the end for us there are a lot of advertising company that is crypto related or any companies can build one for us, they will have a ready audience.

And it becomes consumer protection to avoid a scam cryptocurrency project. It's a bit affect price, but it does not last long, let alone the relevant draft of cryptocurrency from G20 give positive news, we wait until July whether the final decision will strengthen the position of cryptocurrency or not.

I dont think it will affect bitcoin, bitcoin already popular so it doesn't need any ads on the social media anymore, people who are interested in bitcoin will find article, the one that affected is the ICO that just started, it will be a bit difficult for them to introduce the product since social media is one of the great way to promote

We should say advertisement is one of the supplier of investor so that if there is no advertisement who can knows about bitcoin and how it will get a new investor so that banning advertisements on the famous social medial like facebook and google we include if this is right including twitter so how to have investor and i think this is also the one reason why all cryptocurrency was fall also.

yes, with the news about twitter prohibiting bitcoin can reduce the price of bitcoin in the long run. I think it will affect investors to stop investing in bitcoins. I hope all social media will accept bitcoin so that bitcoin price can reach $ 20k.

prices are down in these few days I think not just from it. In addition to ad bans, there is still another bigger factor: Bitcoin whales that sell Bitcoinnya worth 400 million dollars. and I think this is the main cause of the decline in recent days.

many of which revise policies including state governments and some big companies, it may be true that some big companies like google and facebook will be banned ads bitcoin and ico, but that's not entirely true and maybe they will cancel the policy

That's true, the market maybe affect in short term but in the long run the price of good coins will continue to soar high. Those who ban crypto ads will surely make their own coin in the future, cryptocurrency are slowly gaining momentum around the world and it will be a big factor to be consider in the future.

It doesnt affect that much on cryptoworld. They did it because some people who invest in crypto doesnt have a knowledge. They fight scam for beginners and to prevent fraud in crypto. It doesnt make abbig difference to business who uses crypto. There are many ways to advertise crypto via telegram, forum, chat room etc.
