Title: Twitter and Google joining war against crypto
Post by: 99th on March 20, 2018, 08:45:36 AM
Well it looks like more great news for all of us (rolls eyes)...

In a new, unconfirmed report, Twitter will ban all crypto related ads in 2 weeks. This coming on the wake of Facebook banning crypto related ads.

Read more here: https://www.coindesk.com/twitter-will-ban-cryptocurrency-ads-in-two-weeks-says-report/

Also, it appears in June of this year that Google will change it's policy regarding financial services ads, and that means a ban on crypto related ads. This is going to absolutely tear the market to shreds even more than it is now. What a shame.

I hope all this shit will eventually be reversed because if this is a sign of things to come, we might end up with the blockchain, but without new cryptocurrencies/ICOs. I hate all the scams going around but some of these moves are over the top. This type of thing by Google may be too much for this infant industry to handle. This really sucks.

You can just Google this topic to find many sources, but here is a good write up to get you started:
https://medium.com/@Michael_Spencer/google-will-ban-crypto-ads-and-it-will-kill-icos-as-we-know-them-e0cb714f8d45

And the direct article from cointelegraph:
https://cointelegraph.com/news/google-to-ban-all-crypto-related-ads-starting-june-2018

So yeah, this could be a pretty rough entire year for crypto...not with a bull run in site. I, like many of you, wish for nothing but a turn around and optimistic future for the crypto space. I am not trying to spread fud, or create panic, I am only trying to make people aware of the news.

Possibly benefits of these bans:

- Reduction of scammy ICOs
- Reduction of paid phishing scam site ads on Google
- Increase in bounty pay for social media sites
- increase in quality crypto related content, products and services

And our Yandex is planning to start banning them too.
Actually I think they will only lose their money from ads.
The posts will be retwitted and reposted/shared and that sites won't earn their money :)

This is all due to fraudulent ICOs. At current time 9 out of 10 ICOs are total scam. They do a fundraising and spend nothing on anything except for roaming around and spending in useless things. And it's a good move from social sites to block those ads until we have regulations of the ICOs.

It’s not war against google and Facebook doing this for less mg term benefit for cryptocurrency . If advertisement banned there will be less scammers and even it will reduce the money going out of the crypto community. So it’s all benefit crypto currency for long time.

While I agree with this, I hope that Facebook, Twitter, and Google, all reverse these policies once we have some decent regulating bodies in place that can actually prevent all the fraudulent bullshit going on right now. The combination of those scams plus the bans is just a massive blow to the industry and we are all feeling the pain very heavily.

I'm tired of seeing my Twitter feed filled with ICO advertising, glad that will be over soon.

Google should've done that years ago, top ads for wallets, exchanges and other crypto related website searches were phishing, millions were lost because of these.

This is very nice,as soon as these giants banned all the cryptocurrencies ads the stakes in their social media platform would be bigger because the only way that these ICOs will be promoted is thru bounty hunters it only means hunters should be paid very well so that they will get promoted in the social media platform very well..

i think so, with that way can increase ico quality so decrease scam ico. if ico have high quality so then many investor can saved their money.
we known many ico are only collecting investors fund and then dissapear

Very true that these scam ICO did contribute of this banning but i think this move will also will favor the legit ICO in which this time they will ask the ICO of legal documents during acquiring their advertising services in which all of the fake ICO for sure cannot comply. Soon we can truly participate and join a legal projects without hesitation as this famous sites main objectives is the good welfare of their billions of users.

Twitter or Facebook or Google are not warring against crypto. They just want to protect their users from fraudsters who spend few thousands of dollars to dupe people of their hard earned money.

Though it affects people, but then I wouldn't blame them.

Yes, I am not worry if twitter, google or other are banned of crypto
they are scared in the future of the blockchain technology. Because Blockchain will be change the world someday.

I think this is positive. Once the ads are monitored closely, many fraudulent projects will be limited. This is good for cryptocurrency.

I think this is the best response to the swindle ICO. But blockchain technology should not be ignored. Blockchain technology should be popularized in the future. It's time to supervise ICO.

I do not think this is bad news for bounty hunters. I would compare this with the introduction of merit on bitcointalk. The participation rules for social networks will be toughened, the minimum number of subscribers to participate will increase, they will focus on whether subscribers are either bounty hunters or are interested in crypto currency. The number of participants will decrease, the amount of payments will increase, the quality of posts will increase.

The benefits quoted in the thread query speak for themselves. I fail to see the reason for such a hue and cry over a ban that just might end up helping everyone, sifting the scams into oblivion. As for useful projects, a product speaks for itself, and there are myriad other ways to reach the masses, an idea, a big name and team, and the right backing cannot be so easily stumped. I think its time we stopped stoking every fire announcing the death of crypto, creating a pyre ourselves.

Post by: andrey755 on March 20, 2018, 10:20:44 AM
Well, so far only advertising and not technology, and this is done for our benefit to protect against fraudulent ICO. The rules of participation will now be tightened and will become more quality participants.

The bans are just another hit at Cryptos, and even though we see Bitcoin at a low, it doesn't mean the top social media platforms will stop the domino of crypto. In reality, it is going to lose when development globally builds new alternatives. For instance, ArtBit is an ICO for Artist, it means artist will not need a manager nor will they need sign up licenses with recording studios. Finally, the independent artist will get the full 100% earnings from their original content which means individualism is active for all who pursue in the arts.

On the contrary, after Google refuses to advertise cryptocurrency, the market should grow. Mostly Google is buying traffic and scam projects.

I don't really think we we would call this a war against crypto.
In my opinion it's only some sort of regulations which imposed by US government and it certainly won't be the last interference.


Title: Re: Twitter and Google joining war against crypto
Post by: sergeykravcov177 on March 20, 2018, 10:34:59 AM
I do not think that this news is positive because the ban on advertising is a small influx of new people into the world of crypto currency and a smaller purchase of bitcoin ie. its low price

ICO scam = disappears
Quality ICO = Increased
This is not a war statement to crypto but protects the investors from ICO scams, making convenience and security a task to be done. maybe some campaign settings will be so tight.

I agreed with your view. Facebook, Twitter and Google are attacked the phishing and scam websites. I don’t think it is directed at crypto currencies. In the long run, it is good for crypto with lesser scams around.

Google is very strick with there policy and they don't care about publisher especially, even if you are giving service to google for 10-20 year  then also they don't spare you. Crypto are coming in between there success and they treat crypto as gambling.

I've got a question here, as I keep seeing similar threads related to the doom and gloom on this news. I may be the minority, but I think it's a good thing to add some regulation, albeit a strong regulation to start. The benefits you listed are not only 'possible', but certainly probably. You noted that this is really a technology and investment type still in its infancy stage. It's therefore very important to add some structure to this and protect the newcomers from the 'vultures' that are trying to scam people.

Now, Devil's advocate is of course that most people who may be scammed, are likely being scammed because they aren't doing their research and simply trying to make a quick buck. However, I'd argue that those of us here for the long run, and whom are actually interested in blockchain technology as a whole, and the benefits it can provide, are only going to be hampered by being getting burned - even if they 'have it coming'.

My question here, is what do you think the possible detriments of the blocking of ads? Did you enjoy having your Facebook/Twitter being swarmed with New ICOs ads that are a dime a dozen? Did anyone ever actually click on these that was really interested in the tech? Honestly, this type of ad, to me, is simply malicious phishing and I think the industry as a whole will benefit from tighter regulations.

Bounties will find themselves in a similar position, you'll have way less shill accounts spreading the word, but those that do continue to spread the word, will be people with merit or weight in the community. Keep in mind that there is no ban against individual users Tweeting out support for specific ICOs.

just my 2 cents

Stopping the ICO ads will not harm the blockchain technology at-all. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are now a hot topic around the world, (thanks FB and Twitter for that). But only a couple of year back it was almost unknown to maximum people. Now blockchain is very much self-dependent. It does not need FB or Twitter anymore.
Hope that we will find a good decentralized blockchain based competitors of those social media sites soon.  ;)

Exactly my point ! I don't know why some people around here think banning cryptocurrencies related ads will completely disrupt the crypto market. No it won't do any harm to the crypto market. There is a reason why these companies are banning crypto ads on their websites and I do believe they are doing the right thing. There are so many scam projects getting created just so that they can scam others and take their money. It is to stop these projects. The good ones will surely make their way in some way or the other.

Google and Facebook banning crypto related ads is pretty bad, but I couldn't care less for Twitter.
I really hope some of their competition will pick up the bulk of crypto advertising, I've been using other advertising networks with success lately.

Lastly, this might be a pretty good opportunity for Bitcoin related ad networks to grow a bit.
They could definitely use a bit more decent publishers, most of their publishers are either faucets or 'get paid' websites. Not really good for advertising paid services...

twitter and google is afraid in the technology blockchain , they are banned of cryptocurrency

any platform like googe and twitter is used the technology blockhain.

They just want to protect their audience especially those dumb people who are going to invest without any further knowledge about cryptocurrencies,and these ICO scams that is why google and facebook decided to do what is right,limiting the advetisement of these potential scams would be great because there will be less chance of these scammers to get noob people's money.

Possibly benefits of these bans:

- Reduction of scammy ICOs
- Reduction of paid phishing scam site ads on Google
- Increase in bounty pay for social media sites
- increase in quality crypto related content, products and services

You have already spread FUD, no doubt about that. Understanding your inner mind, you want scam ICOs to stop but spreading news about Twitter ban after we are just coming from the G20 meeting is a different matter. Spreading the news and at the same time telling us the benefits is compromised. "I am not trying to make people aware of the news" the above words betray your inner mind. We will always win the war of crypto no matter where they coming from.

There are a lot of ICOs out there that are a total scam and there should be no ads because it makes all ICOs look scammy if more and more people who don't understand crypto get scammed by these ads. Besides, a lot of sources say that ICO ads are not that effective anyway. It's all about building community around the project for people who want to engage with it.

Now, indeed, many countries including USA start a huge fight with the crypto-currency world. I think that now many projects feel this on themselves, but we do not just break it. I think that the crypto-currencies will develop in spite of all prohibitions.
This thing is happening all over the world. The coins just get removed from major websites then it gets placed back on their website.

Happy to see that there might be some benefits. I believe that ICO and bounty market will change in 2018, and we as bounty hunters must be ready for these changes.
For example, when Medium banned ICO-reviews related blogs... This was very tough, as I had a great audience and worked hard for that content which allowed me to earn well on article bounties. Now, I have to start everything all over again. I'm sure many community members are in the same situation. That is why I encourage everyone support each other and report to bounty managers when the situation with social media changes...

Also, it appears in June of this year that Google will change it's policy regarding financial services ads, and that means a ban on crypto related ads. This is going to absolutely tear the market to shreds even more than it is now. What a shame.

I hope all this shit will eventually be reversed because if this is a sign of things to come, we might end up with the blockchain, but without new cryptocurrencies/ICOs. I hate all the scams going around but some of these moves are over the top. This type of thing by Google may be too much for this infant industry to handle. This really sucks.

Big companies that primarily rely on ads are afraid that cryptos can end up being a Frankenstein monster that they can never control. Also scam ICO's  are partly to be blamed for this mess. 

Lots of scam ICOs being advertised hooking up newbies to cryptos that are not ready for the volatility of the markets.

The last part where the benefits are looks good.
But Google, Twitter and Facebook will also feel this in the amount of money that are coming in their wallets specially Google which almost have all the advertisement in all the forum including the ones which are not much populated.

Scammers will go to Hell and that is true. But they can always find ways to create another scheme just for easy money. Blogs will really work now, but they have to directly talk to the ICO starting company.

Right. Now Its an old news. But TFS.   8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
This banning has many positive and negative effects for the crypto market. As you wrote, This will limit scam projects, will increase rewards for bounty hunters (That's nice  ;D ;D ;D ). And also It will effect for legit ICOs. They will need to depend on bounty programs and small scale advertising platforms. Then what will happen? Scam projects also will use the same things. My opinion is, What Legit icos can do for promoting, Scammers also can do the same.

Not going to affect the huntes,but it would benefit the bounty hunters because these ICOs wont have any chance but to pay these hunters more,because there is no way to that they will be promoted,not with the help of bounty hunters so it means it will have some positive outcome for the bounty hunters as these social media platforms wont allowed ICOs to be promoted.

I do agree with these benefits on having a restriction of these big companies towards cryptocurrency but in spite on having these benefits from such ban wont really give a peace of mind on most people who do involve on crypto and such limitations would really even more create little space into crypto market yet it is already being banned.I do still view that there would be more institutions would follow the same trend.

As far as i know twitter advertisement wont affect  the cryptocurrencies too much because the users can output these advertisements.The only people will be affected are those who are in ICOs,but most of the normal users can benefit especially those bounty hunters because they can still user their proftile to promote these ICOs in their own will without getting banned by these socialmedia sites.

This is all due to fraudulent ICOs. At current time 9 out of 10 ICOs are total scam. They do a fundraising and spend nothing on anything except for roaming around and spending in useless things. And it's a good move from social sites to block those ads until we have regulations of the ICOs.

While I agree with this, I hope that Facebook, Twitter, and Google, all reverse these policies once we have some decent regulating bodies in place that can actually prevent all the fraudulent bullshit going on right now. The combination of those scams plus the bans is just a massive blow to the industry and we are all feeling the pain very heavily.

That's right. Those platforms are really major points where people can actually market and advertise things about cryptocurrency related projects, and that really helps in keeping the market afloat. Many people are already having bad ideas with what's happening in the market now, and if it will continue, the deterioration of support could really affect the market big time by way of decreasing usage rates of many coins, and in turn, might affect their values. The people traffic you can market your products and concepts through those platforms are quite significant that it could really be a game changer for the market.

Why do you think they'll have an extremely negative impact on the current market?

If I was someone brand new to cryptos, and looking to invest in something, I'd be happy to hear that major companies (that I normally see ads on) are cracking down on scams. It's very unlikely that the average person, or new-to-crypto investor, would drop money on some ICO-sponsored ad on Facebook or Twitter.

I could be way off here, but I think this helps deter the malicious noise in the industry and clears a way for actual ICOs and established altcoins to prosper. There might very well be some initial backlash since the market is so speculative in nature, but I imagine within a quarter, we'll see a new wave of investors who now feel safer about investing due to a lot of the scams being hamstrung by the reduction of major advertising avenues.

Bottom line is that any altcoin or ICO that has found a solution to a real problem will largely not be affected by this as their growth would not be coming through the few people who click on sponsored ads and wind up investing VIA Facebook. Any ICO that hasn't done anything except apply "blockchain" to a random industry will probably suffer, but they probably wouldn't have ever gone live with any Proof Of Concept product anyways.

Social media sites imposed control over crypto currency ads to protect people from scams and the use of media to spread projects that will not help people as well as the economy to grow.

I'm tired of seeing my Twitter feed filled with ICO advertising, glad that will be over soon.

Google should've done that years ago, top ads for wallets, exchanges and other crypto related website searches were phishing, millions were lost because of these.

These major companies have their own benefits that they can not hide because of their current moves.
I don't know exactly what benefits they are getting because of their bans but it is for sure very good when they are baning the coins from their platforms.
I personally also am not happy with their moves because every investor can decide for himself if he wants to choose some project or not.

The report has already been confirmed. Twitter in going to ban all crypto related ads following Google and Facebook in this decision. Google will take actions upon ads related to crypto currencies and ICO in the start of June month.

We have already seen quite big crash in the market recently due to these social media banning crypto news and due to governments of countries trying to break down on ICO’s and trying to regulate them. According to me its great that crypto ads are being banned, now people will invest in established and well know crypto assets rather than entering ICO’s and new projects.

Also, it appears in June of this year that Google will change it's policy regarding financial services ads, and that means a ban on crypto related ads. This is going to absolutely tear the market to shreds even more than it is now. What a shame.

I hope all this shit will eventually be reversed because if this is a sign of things to come, we might end up with the blockchain, but without new cryptocurrencies/ICOs. I hate all the scams going around but some of these moves are over the top. This type of thing by Google may be too much for this infant industry to handle. This really sucks.

You can just Google this topic to find many sources, but here is a good write up to get you started:

And the direct article from cointelegraph:
https://cointelegraph.com/news/google-to-ban-all-crypto-related-ads-starting-june-2018

So yeah, this could be a pretty rough entire year for crypto...not with a bull run in site. I, like many of you, wish for nothing but a turn around and optimistic future for the crypto space. I am not trying to spread fud, or create panic, I am only trying to make people aware of the news.

Possibly benefits of these bans:

- Reduction of scammy ICOs
- Reduction of paid phishing scam site ads on Google
- Increase in bounty pay for social media sites
- increase in quality crypto related content, products and services
The report has already been confirmed. Twitter in going to ban all crypto related ads following Google and Facebook in this decision. Google will take actions upon ads related to crypto currencies and ICO in the start of June month.

We have already seen quite big crash in the market recently due to these social media banning crypto news and due to governments of countries trying to break down on ICO’s and trying to regulate them. According to me its great that crypto ads are being banned, now people will invest in established and well know crypto assets rather than entering ICO’s and new projects.
This seems like a double edged sword to me. On one hand, the bad news is affecting the market in a bad way. On the other hand, popular cryptocurrencies will receive more attention as you said which is a good thing. I feel that this move is actually worth it since this should help the entire crypto market in the long run which is why I am not sad about these new changes by Google, Twitter etc. Some people might feel like dumping all their assets since they fear such big companies, but this will not slow down crypto in the long run and Bitcoin has proved this time and time again.

Although this is a big blow for advertise who want to gain paid traffic with their ICOs, I am totally in favor of banning them for good. You know why? It will finally reduce the chances of scammy ICOs and other fraudulent Bitcoin opportunities of getting a lot of exposure in the form of paid advertisements. However, organic search and communities would remain as ease. I don’t know if LinkedIn would be the next in line to impose a ban to crypto ads.

This is all due to fraudulent ICOs. At current time 9 out of 10 ICOs are total scam. They do a fundraising and spend nothing on anything except for roaming around and spending in useless things. And it's a good move from social sites to block those ads until we have regulations of the ICOs.
Indeed. Many ICO’s nowadays are either scam, or their project doesn’t prove strong enough after the launch. Therefore, it’s a good step taken by social media to stop promoting such ICO’s and tokens therefore securing the people that visit their site. This step helps protect the investors from fraud activities and scams. Regulation of ICO’s in recently the main aim of governments in the crypto sections. Security and protection of investors is must and necessary step from the scam and ponzi scheme ICO’s.

Facebook, google and twitter's direction to ban crypto ads have both positive and negative impact to the crypto world. The positive impact would me minimizing scam ICOs. Minimizing the fraudulent ICOs would help reduce misconception against the cryptocurrency. The negative impact is we lose the opportunity promoting ico projects to two of the most visited social media and one of the top search engine. It is a challenging year for bitcoin because of this, however, all we need is to adjust.

Damn this is terrible, like the current market condition is not enough, and there're more things that most likely gonna make the market even fall deeper? Sighs.
Well it's both good and bad things about the ban though, but i'm worried that the more big names like google, facebook, and twitter throw something against bitcoin, the more people will think bad of bitcoin, and maybe can lead to the end. Still, it'll be nice if it can reduce scam icos and such.

For me this is no war against crypto, If you've ever been scammed by this ads then you will understand why it is necessary.
They have a right to protect their users, genuine ICOs will find legitimate means of advertising.
You've also listed the advantages of this moves to cryptocurrency.

Many people victims of scam ang some of the main reason is they see it in social media but take a look at this, all of us has obligation to ourself, we don't need to believe easily on what we see in any advertise, all we need is to study about the crypto.
its our responsibility to make sure that we don't invest in scam.

At present, the scams have grown so much, they have taken advantage of social networking sites to reach out to investors. They cheated so many people while their coin projects were ghosts. I think the decision of Twitter, google and facebook is right; In order to prevent ICO scammers from thriving in the market.

this is good news.
because to further re-select ICO to be promoted, and also many advantages gained, for example the decimation of the ICO scam.
they forbid it because there is a certain purpose, not without cause. later also good for future ico.

There is no name of war, it is just fake news to drop the price of cryto on the market. So far twitter, google and crypto are fine, maybe there's a bit of a problem but that's overwhelming by irresponsible people.

google should not banned ico ads, they should have a solution to overcome the phishing site and scam site, they could just regulate and perform a special verification filter for ico projects that want to advertise their ico in google ads

It’s not war against google and Facebook doing this for less mg term benefit for cryptocurrency . If advertisement banned there will be less scammers and even it will reduce the money going out of the crypto community. So it’s all benefit crypto currency for long time.
True. Though we might experience some dip and crash in the market due to the news of government regulating ICO’s and social media banning crypto advertisements, but it will surely prove beneficiary in the future.

Once the promotion of ICO’s stop, the scams and fraud activities will reduce and people will look into pouring and investing money in those crypto coins that are already well established in the market such as BTC,ETH and XRP rather than investing in some scam ICO’s and losing money which flows out of the crypto market.

When twitter and  facebook ban crypto Ads,  it is sure  an opportunity  for other  social media platform to emerge and  a  plus  to Bitcointalk.org as  crowd  will increase, There  is  a need  for  regulators  in the  cypto  space to  reduce  scammers taking  over  the  space.

I don't think if you look carefully in Twitter,crypto and blockchain has become mainstream topic and all blockchain and crypto associated user base is on the line,if they do something stupid and they will loose a high number of user,as per Google there was recent news that they are going in blockchain world , but I think they are just putting restrictions and that is good also  as it will avoid scam ico ,

The ICO market is growing fast, causing an increase in fraudulent ICO. It is not easy to detect and prevent ICO fraud and can not be made immediately. Therefore, social networking sites are heating up the issue of banning ICO ads before managers have a good ICO management approach.
I agree !

Even if Twitter chose to ban any crypto ad related content in order to protect their users, I don't think that all the bounty hunters -who are also users- will be very happy with that decision.
For individuals like me that's not very important, but for teams who earn most part of their earnings from bounties (the same that we find here with multi accounts...) it is a very bad new.

I'm tired of seeing my Twitter feed filled with ICO advertising, glad that will be over soon.

Google should've done that years ago, top ads for wallets, exchanges and other crypto related website searches were phishing, millions were lost because of these.
Back then, there were not many scam ICO and exchanges in the market. The number has significantly increased when the market was in hype in previous year and all were looking towards cryptos. I think Google will ban most of the advertisements of exchanges too, but not of all.

Advertisements for websites and wallets for storing crypto currencies will surely be banned, but I doubt about exchanges. Exchanges are getting regulated nowadays and most of them ask for KYC details and other verification details and are transparent to the government. Those exchanges will surely stay and won’t be banned for advertisements.

I think this will be maybe is a good thing to prevent a lot of scam and ponzi schemes to spread on the global Google platform ADs, in other way this decision is bad to the good and genuine projects that would to advertise widely.

My comment is This course will greatly reduce the number of frauds, but still will not solve the problem.
and they decided not to spend money on crypto education and they just want to avoid scandal letting people advertise fraud.

They are not against crypto, the run against scam projects advertising, a lot of people lose their money by "investing" in such projects.
