Recently I came across this article on CCN, what do you think about Crowdholding's thoughts about the recent Google Ads ban on crypto?

https://www.ccn.com/google-bans-cryptocurrency-ads-will-lead-downfall/

Wishful thinking? or does it have some validity?

I personally think it is a good thing for a few reasons.

1. It stops the ICOs with the biggest budget simply steamrolling great innovative projects. Any website can get clicks and views if they have a huge marketing budget for Google Adwords.

2. It forces ICOs to think outside of the box and reach their communities in other ways, platforms like Crowdholding will be the future, as no longer will they be able to just spam people to come to their site, but will have to engage them through co-creation.

3. It gives more power to bounties, people will spread the word of the ICO that has either got the best bounty campaign or a project they believe in. Although bounties can be manipulated by offering large sums, it is still better than google Adwords.

The only thing I don't like is that Google is clearly trying to strangle crypto. It's just underhand tactics to break the price, so they can invest into it or scare off users of crypto.

Lol I thought it was on CNN.
They say that from June 2018 they will start banning ads that are crypto related.
I don't think that this will affect the market that much because I don't think that there are a lot of people who came here or doing they're trading by clicking on ads.
ICO`s will be the most affected, but as it is an innovative new market they will surely find a way to surpass this small bump.
Also, all this banning I don't think it will last because once they realise that this is business and they are losing it maybe they think it over.

I think you are late with information about google ban. and did not try to read some of the same discussions about the google ban.
and what is displayed on the site is completely untrue. crypto will not be finished and destroyed. it's just that, google prohibits the ad serving that smells the sale. that is it. in conclusion, only to prevent the occurrence of fraudulent practices and misappropriation.

I agree with you.

Banning ads on Facebook, Google and Twitter is a good thing for cryptocurrencies and blockchain projects.

People should do their own research and learn more about the projects before investing.

I have been working with a project for the past 9 months and we are doing fine without scammy ads everywhere, organically growing because of the development progress and partnerships.

This will not start a downfall. Project developers will start to reward bounties more while they are not able to push ads on google.
This will help to organic grow of crypto world.

maybe for some reasons it has affected the market right now  almost all the coin has drop down its prices, but google and some other media cannot stop the uprising of the crypto currency.

Yes its possible.but...

1.it could be but the allocation for bounty will be huge
2. The possible downfall will be just for the mean time.
3. recovery of downfall will take time
4.More bounty allocation more money more effort to make.
5. dont take this as a negative cause its actually good for bounty hunters

It may affect but I don't think it is the downfall. Why?

• Because there are many people who are already invest some money on cryptocurrency
• More investments are coming this year because of its growing population
• I hope they don't banned totally all, they should limit only the ads on google
• Cryptocurrency is the future money because of its upgrading technology

No not really at all since there are a lot of advertising firms other than the google on the internet but the problem is, google is very huge when it comes to advertsing on the internet in youtube alone can generate huge amount of clicks and also in the search engine (adwords) so, it will be hard for the ICO and cryptocurrency related firms to advertise their product and it's services.

As of 2018, Google will slowly fade away, some nice decentralized search engine will take the lead one way or another.
I see this as positive news.

I think this news will not significantly affect the price of the currency. But this will definitely slow down the development of the crypto currency because less money will flow into the ecosystem

The decision will start from june so i don't think it will affect crypto too much, projects simply have to search for another way to advertise their project and bounty will be more important for ico to spread the words. This won't be their downfall as they only prevent people from getting scammed by scam ico and blame it onto them.

How can explain this by law? They cant just stop advertising on one theme. I saw few times advertising darkside site on youtube ;D Who looking on their banners at all? I thought most people have something like Adblock on their browsers or just flipping through advertising.

If its the downfall of ICOs, of course it will affect greatly on the response to ICOs. I have known about several ICOs not by visiting the forum alone but from apps downloaded from Google, websites visited where ads are placed and when you see these ads in all places, you are forced to even take the risk to check it out. You can then decide whether you want to be part of it or not. But with this new scenario, the chance or opportunity to check it out is being eroded.

On the impact on Google, I don't see much as we don't have access to their records to be sure the amount that ICOs ads is contributing to their total revenue and the impact it will take with this their decision to stop ICO ads. Hopefully, sanity can return to the market and they can start reconsidering all of their decisions against crypto in general.

It may affect but not much,if you remember the news about banning of ico's on fb ,did it happened? Most news something like that is just a fudd to make the market down. But cryptoworld is too wide enough ,they can't easily break it down

This has been discussing in so many threads. It may better stop recurring this news again anytime. The holders are still believing in the future of crypto. oh man, the internet is not only google. It may true if the google is the biggest company in the internet innovation but it doesn't mean if everything depended on the google itself. There is another alternative way to promote the crypto.

But another side google was doing it to prevent scam project.

This may affect the crypto a little bit not but not exactly hurt as to lead its downfall. There are already so many supporters in cryptocurrency and there are so many ways to advertise. If say bitcointalk bans crytocurrency ads (which I dont think will ever happen), then it might be a problem.

Interesting article.

I don't like the fact is buying it up behind the scenes and then publicly slamming it so the average person thinks it's is bad. Google might be in control right now, but they are a little frightened by decentralization and are trying to control it in the early stages.

I think ICO will still flourish and they will just come up with new ways, bounties will have increased value now as well. Although it is obvious that the Google announcement pushed down the price, but it will recover.

Clearly it has taken a chunk out of the price of all the cryptos which allows the big boys to get in and invest at a lower price, it's a sad world we live in when they have the ability to do that with one action...

This is a temporary phenomenon, I think that very many people from the top of the government are involved and interested in crypto-currencies, so probably all these actions will be temporary.

That's right, Google really announced they would ban the ads for the crypto currencies, then Twitter also announced it from (though in part). Google announced the start date of this ban will be June 16, and this, in my opinion, will have negative consequences for the crypto market.  ???

No, They will find other way!
They will approach crypto website directly ,
There are many website  and ad companies who can help them .

Google think  they can control internet but now its not possible

The fall of cryptocurrencies is impossible due to the ban of advertising. Even the ban on the use of cryptocurrencies by governments can not stop this phenomenon. There are many specialized sites that are happy to provide for advertising their area and earn good money. I am sure that only Google will suffer from this ban.

I think Google is a little worried about cryptocurrencies and decentralisation.

So what do they do?

- Buy it up as quick as possible while the price is lowered.

- Stop more development of the system.

Great article thanks for sharing.

I think it is a clear tactic to monopolise the crypto scene.

Google is just one organization. It's act will not have a lasting effect on the crypto community. A way to advertise crypto will come up replacing the former ways. I think it's better this was done so as bring sanity to the ICO scene

I agree with you, but I believe that it is impossible to stop the development of the system, because the mechanism has already been launched. This development only can be stopped. That's what Google is doing by introducing the ban of advertising on cryptography.

Google only plans to ban the ico ads in June!

During this time, ico will be strictly monitored! This indicates that if the formal ico advertising is likely to run on an estimated release!

Cryptocurrency may fall by that move very much, but after that it may have good effects - like it will power up bounties, and it will be not just random guys that clicked on ads, but interested in already.               

I think it's a good thing.

Strong coins with good concepts will still succeed and it will stop the poor altcoins from clogging up the system. They will migrate to ways of marketing in different ways, such as Crowdholding. Also bounties will become more and more valuable which is good to the people who are willing to help their project.

Although I don't like that Google is trying to manipulate the price, to me it's just dirty tactics of a huge company flexing their muscles.

PS the people who wrote the article, their platform is really good. It's free to sign up and earn crypto from feedback and also they have a referral bonus for anyone that signs up through them!

https://www.crowdholding.com (homepage, no referral, I'm not trying to sell)

I am a big fan of the Crowdholding platform, I think they are going to explode this year. I wouldn't be surprised if they have over 50k users by the end of the year.

In regards to Google, it's sheer bullying tactics, drive down the price, make people lose interest then buy up all the companies. Google knows that a decentralised system would cripple them. Kinda reminds me when Yahoo refused to buy out Google for 1 million back in the day.

Technology consistently moves forward, and the companies at the top have two ways to go, adopt or try to strangle. I feel that Google is doing both by pushing the price down and buying it up for their own use.

I think it's a good thing, they are disrupting everything, why rely on the old systems!

DEATH TO GOOGLE!

I think its just a minor cause of price downfall . before at first fb start then now google and twitter also do the same job. i think its main reason to stop fake scam ico project .

Just a minor blip in the crypto world.

Clearly Google is a little worried about decentralisation. I don't think it will be it's downfall, but they are missing out as the ecosystem grows. Also look into the company who wrote the article. They are a very cool platform where you can earn crypto without investing or mining. I expect they will have over 100k users by the end of the year.

I know that google banned cryptop ads 2 months ago. I find it does not affect cryptop. It will be even better because of the recent appearance of ICOs. Make the market worse

Honestly, I think it won't impact the market too much. I actually think it is better that way so newcorners won't jump on ICO scams and since there will be less panic sells maybe the market will do better in the long run.

First of all I think it's all temporary. One day google will stop those useless bans. Secondly, I don't think bans will lead to the big Downfall. All the active cryptoguys are on Bitcointalk and Reddit so all the ads will be placed there.

I think it will not last, a large company takes a long to adjust, small ICOs have the ability to adapt a lot faster.

Bullshit,this will only affect ICOs but not most of the peopel because these ICOs are the only ones who are using paid advertisement for their promotions,normal users can still share ,created and link cryptocurrency topics with their own will just like facebook did ,you wont get banned if you share or create something cryptocurrency related.

I'm afraid google, facebook and others are doing special pricedrop of cryptocurrency, but for what reason? it's really strange..

Something big is gonna happen if the price goes down, They manipulated the market i know they studying blockchain and they will create token for future payments and commodities. Massive adoption is on our way.

Google is one of the biggest company in the world so it wont be that easy to take them down,i would say it will give us positive things because less scam ICOs to be promoted less people will be scammed.It is a good thing you need to look the opposite of the idea,because google and facebook is only protecting their audience/users from these potential scams.

Let GOOGLE prohibit advertising of crypto currency in any way it will not affect either the price or the development,there are many other ways

No,google wont go down because they have banned these cryptocurrency advertisements,doesnt make sense because they are the largest advertising platform in the planet which makes them the first place to be advertised with these scam ICOs,that is why they are doing their job to stop these potential scams,they are protecting people from these schemes and i think it will only lessen the scammy ICOs in our community.

Google is one of the toughest company in the world,it wont easily collapse because our community is a dust compare to the users around the internet who uses internet,google as their main search engine.The reason why facebook and google has restricted the ICO advertisements is because these projects are potential scams and they only protecting their users from being scammed,it will give us less scammy ICOs in the future so its not that too negative to our community.

I believe soon many blockchain platforms will be launched and Google will not be a major player any more. That is why I admit that only insingificant fall might be and if yes it will be temporary.

Doesnt going to be a big deal,because people can still create blogposts and website with cryptocurrency related ads,the only thing is they wont be allowed to use the paid advertising platform of google which is the google adsense,i know this because i have 9yrs of experience in blogging using google adsense that is why i can assure you there will be no negative effect tothe users.

Downfall? not going to have a chance,google is one of the best brands in the world and it is worth billions of dollars so it means that you need a lot of money to put this company down.Cryptocurrencies are too much complicated today that is why facebook and google decided to fight these potential scam ICOs with banning all the cryptocurrency ads in their platform to protect noob people from getting scammed.

Without regulation or with regulation does it affect the normal users like us? it will only be a problem for these ICOs because they arent going to be accepted when they are promoting their ICO,facebook and google are one biggest brands in the world,and these influencers are just protecting their users from potential scams,that is why it is great to have some regulations from these ICOs.

So what mate? they will only banned cryptocurrency related advertisements,they wont accept advertisements from these potential scam ICOs and it doesnt mean that users and people are going to get banned when you created blogs and anything that are cryptocurrency related topics,read the rules and dont be  arrogant because we wont be affected by these regulations.

Google banning,google not banning i believe there will be a way out to market cryptocurrecy,although this will take time but the market will succeed

These are only pathetic attempts to combat the crypto industry. This is the answer to all the skeptics who doubted this technology. If the crypto industry were not a threat to them, it would not be banned.

Cryptocurrency market is growing too rapidly and it is a littble bit alarming and unhealthy because its unregulated these big brands are doing their job to protect their audience,or users with these potentials cams especially with these ICO scam projects that are stealing millions of dollars from the investors then will run away after they got enough money.

Not going to affect both cryptocurrency users and google advertising program,the main aim of these restriction is to lessen the scam ICOs in the internet because these people are using legit advertising platform like facebook and google ads,that is why these two giant brands did the right thing to stop these people,protecting their users are the main reason why they did this.

Advertising cryptocurrency and ICOs have been banned by google and big social media like facebook and twitter. But I do not see anything less than the ICOs program that came up, ICO programs are growing every day and with that I feel the problem of banning crypto advertising by google will not have a big effect on cryptocurrency.

I don't think that it can affect price of serious projects...it's bad mainly for scam projects because they hunted crypto-newbies all around the web.

Why would that happened? cryptocurrencies doesnt have any effect in overall advertising program of google? it is less than 1% of the total revenue of google that is why it wont affect google's revenue.ICOs deserved these because most of the new projects are scams,google and facebook did the right thing so that these scam projects will be lessen.

Who wants to promote, will continue to promote without google. It's true that google and facebook have a huge market share, but there are a lot of alternatives for online advertising: search engines (like bing), rtb advertising networks, native ads etc. You can still have a lot of exposure even without these top networks.

It seems to me not that I can not stop the development of this currency. It is not clear why, when states begin to recognize it, on the Internet it is forbidden as it is not logical

No its not going to affect google's revenue thru advertisement,theres a lot of bigger platforms than cryptocurrencies,crypto has less than 1% of the total revenue of the google ads,that is why restricted ads wont affect google anything they are just protecting us from potential scams,especially those noob investors who doesnt know anything about cryptocurrencies and will just invest to these scam projects.

I think Google, like Facebook, is beginning to worry that cryptocurrencies are starting to gain popularity among their users that could mean a threat to their current monopoly in all areas of life in today's society. It is obvious that they hide behind the argument of the fight against fraud and money laundering, but it is clear that their real concern is the advancement of a technology that threatens their interests.

Really FUD from google can distract from Investor? I think not so little facebook issues will be realized in July and it really does not make sense if due to facebook issues can bring down the market so far, stop this little FUD as it does not affect anything, if Google wants to stop service on Crypto let it later there is also a substitute for Ads.

Not going to affect google,because cryptocurrency advertisement doesnt have any counts in the total revenue of google's advertising program which is google adsense.Doesnt make any effect to google itself,banning these ICOs are good move because it will lessen the risk of people losing their money to these potential scams.

I actually made a thread on this topic myself because it seems to me that this could be a huge issue with crypto moving forward. I certainly hope this doesn't do any further damage, but instead it helps remove the scammy ICOs all advertising and the phishing sites.

Doesnt going to affect google's revenue because cryptocurrency ads doesnt have 1% of the total revenue of the google adsense.We are still very small compare to the other's platform advertisement like news which has big part of the google's revenue .Doesnt mean that we cannot create cryptocurrency related topics using the google platform this will only affect the ICO's promotional activities.

No it would not. There is no way it could cause the downfall. There could be a drop in the traffic but there is always a way out. No one owns the internet.

It will not collapse easy as that,indeed the ads on google are very influential to find investors.Covering the overall promotion made by using google well done he has access to trillions of humans who can show the project to them,but this does not discourage a promotion or crypto to continue building a new projects.

Some validity, but I think this opens doors for decentralized advertising platforms like Algebraix where they're permission-based. You earn tokens by watching ads and providing info that you choose to provide for advertisers. Great airdrop going on too. I see this as the future. https://algebraix.io/

They are not banning any cryptocurrency, they only ban those who advertise to sell their ICO specially if it is a shady ICO. Only ICO are affected on this but not the entire altcoin since not all altcoin are ICO.

I think it's a clear indication that Google is a tad worried, they are not able to implement blockchain or fight it because they are such a big company, so what do you do? Slow down the process of crypto by hurting it / buying it up until you can come up with a way to combat it.

This is most likely not an official statement because in Google I have not seen this, because since I often use the exchange on the contrary, always the advertisement flies out about the crypto currency.

I very doubt it will have any heavy consequences on the market. I can't wait for the ban to commenced so bounties can be more and pay better..

They said before about this. It was like "We will ban from June 2018 all crypto ads", and they do it, even it's not June yet.  :-X

I do not think that because of Google, the amount of ICO will decrease.  Advertising in Google is not the main source of information about investments.  Other channels of advertising will develop, new sources of public relations will appear.

I think this news will not significantly affect the crypto because exist many specialized sites which can provide their area for advertising.

Clearly a scare tactic from Google to lower the price, also interesting that Twitter came out today and said Bitcoin is amazing.

I would also look into Crowdholding (guys who wrote the article).

There platform is really good and is a great way to earn crypto in your spare time. I prefer it to bounties / airdrops etc.

https://www.crowdholding.com

No matter that they ban ads, i believe that bounty can do big work for every ICO that will come to us.

To me this is a good thing. Its stops crypto's being advertised poorly! most ads seem to just state 'become a millionaire' or along these lines. We forget this is a long term game so for me it's good news.

Crypto is already known widely and advertisement is not needed anymore. It is a good thing for crypto since it will lessen the scams and reputation will recover soon. We don' have google and facebook before but cryptomarket stays the same. It might affect the market for few weeks but it will be forgotten soon.

It's not that big of an issue apart from the impact on the price in the short term.

It will stop poor ICOs having the ability to send a lot and be successful, when they shouldn't be. Poor projects only harm the crypto sphere.

Doesnt going to affect google's ad revenue becayse cryptocurrency ads is less than 1% of the google ads revenue,it wont affect too much if they have banned these cryptocurrency ads.Google is just protecting the people from these potential scams especially those scam ICOs around the web but it doesnt mean that you will get banned when you post promotional artices in your website or blogs.

I can only agree with many others here, that is positive news. Got really annoyed as well by all those scam ICOs and crypto projects ads that only aimed to get as much money as possible in a short period of time so some random guys can lean back and drive lambos without creating anything new and innovative

This is one good side, and on the other hand the bad news. If Google could differentiate and block only fraudulent projects, and leave good, then it would be great.

It's not just google. Also facebook.

I would not be that concerned about it because most advertisements on google were phishing ads anyways. They may actually be doing a favor to the crypto industry because most of these ads were malicious in nature.

It will not lead to any crypto's downfall, because they have already done their marketing, and most of them did not even consider to use google adwords as a part of their advertisement plans.

I agree with the article.

Large corporations are constantly getting overthrown because they become too big to shift with the market to keep up. Google has become that company as they can't keep up with a blockchain system where data is decentralised.

Yes this shows sheer jealously and it's inability to have block chain of its own hence banning all crypto ads but this will benefit us in positive way as people will do a research and join crypto rather than silly marketing tactics.

Really will not affect much. On the other hand, it will limit the appearance of many fraudulent ICOs. you will see in time to come. The market will improve because of this

People may think it's a bad news but it also has its advantages. It will reduce the level of ICO spams we have online. I'm tired of seeing different irrelevant ICOs adverts whenever I'm browsing.

I don't see it as a huge impact to the crypto world in the long term.

In regards to Crowdholding, they will benefit from this as ICOs will use platforms like this (co-creation user based platforms) to grow communities instead of paying for Google Ads.

According to their social media, they have just hit over 10k users. Start of March they had 3k, they keep going that this rate will have 50k users by summer.

https://www.crowdholding.com

Things are so much unpredictable in the world of the crypto currencies that you never know what is going to happen and that how things will work in the future. there can be so many reasons behind this and that it is something pre-planned and that the possible reason for this can be this that the owners of Facebook and other social medial forums are interested in buying of more crypto coins at lesser rate.

Reddit have do that at 2016, when most people don't know Bitcoin or Crypto. I remember when Yahoo is a big company in the internet, in their eyes Google is small, them can buy Google anytime. So now Facebook and Google ban ICO ads, the market does not seem to change. However now ads for ICO and crypto still mall, but Google and Facebook have open the great future startup do with them ads

BEFORE ICOS also coin is rising without Ads ,
BTC and all other coins are marketed by person to person , disabling icos ads wont affect coins .

No, and if anything, it will hardly affect them.

Google will definitely be fine, people will just have to find other places to advertise their cryptos, this might harm some crypto developers but it won't be their downfall either.

The google ban won't stop anything.  They are morons if they think it will. They are doing this as a way to stifle innovation under the guise of protecting the people.  Yes there are scam ICO's out there, but if you do your due diligence you can avoid them.  

For example, if they are based out of a country you are not familiar with, do not invest.  If there are spelling and grammatical errors on their website, roadmap and whitepaper, do not invest.  If they do not have a website, do not invest.  If they have a whitepaper you don't understand, do not invest.  If their 'team' is anonymous and does not have verifiable, active social media profiles, do not invest.

There's more to it than that, but a solid dose of common sense and due diligence will go a long way.

I think this can be good in some ways. Since it will be banned in google, only legit ICOs will just push through to pay for advertisement sites to promote their project, thus avoiding scam ICOs from promoting their coin in google. This will lessen the chance of scam ICOs from taking away the possible investment they will get. A lot of good ICOs are missing a lot of investment due to a lot of ICOs are popping out monthly.

If to speak about the prices that it will definately lead to downfall, but crypto will survive, it will continue to exist and improve their prices

they ban ads i think its only for stop scam ico

There is good reason that ICO don't will think as usual, they must now use some otherways to manage more investment in their projects at all.

As long as we see less scammy ICOs, I think it's good news. ;)

It won't really affect Google though and should be good for the crypto scene overall.

I don't think that Google's ban on crypto advertising will lead crypto currencies to collapse. Analysis of crypto projects advertising  on Google shows
that a large number of them are used by scammers. Therefore, the ban of such advertising is the right action.
As for the impossibility of advertising for real and respectable projects, they can use bounty hunters.

I don't think it will even harm ICOs that much. Not like a lot of them advertised on FB or Google.

I think it's not a massive thing for either party.

ICOs will still advertise in other ways and Google are a huge company who are now looking into blockchain technology.

I think it's a good thing. In time we'll see money move away from the scammy coins and into real projects with real future benefit. In the short term we'll see somewhat of a dip because the weakest investors are the first to fold as soon as there is a breath of (potentially) negative news but overall this should be beneficial to the greater market.

indeed it will impact cryptocurrency. all social media are starting to ban cryptocurrency ads and i think it will make Bitcointalk forum the best way to advertise their ico.

Crypto market already in bearish trend. These kind of ban and FUDs affect to this bearish trend continuation. But on the other hand I don't like to see this kind of reaction to each news. Because now market reacting to each and every news and in long run that is not good. We need to see more stable market. Then most of the investors will join to the crypto market.

well let wait till June but I don't think this will weep out crypto from the internet the worst to open is to see all coin go down for some days then the market will embrace it and start to grow further again. the same thing happened when Facebook ban ICO ads on their platform and i have been reading also that Twitter is intending to start doing the same. all the same, this will make everyone think further beyond what we are thinking now and come out with good strategies to grow the market again

Yeah for the long term, the great ICO/coins will survive. It's only the scams that might be damaged from this and that's a good thing overall.

It is unclear how they blocked such ads, if there is still a lot. Perhaps you can bypass the restrictions and to change the ad after moderation.

The ban of cryptocurrency Ads on Google is not a positive indication at all and could have been one of the reasons price of coins keep going down but on the other side it's a opportunity for potential investors to buy coin at less cheaper price

For me these guys want cryptocurrencies to be regulated which is a great idea. To be regulated is to be safe. All banning about crypto then might be gone if it happens. Facebook did it and google for the protection of its users which is Us.

I don't believe it is going  to affect Google. The issue is that the public is not clear about what Cryptocurrency is and a lot of scams are happening because of people's ignorance. I guess till Goggle can understand the concept of Cryptos and differentiate between legit and scams, there best choice is to stop ads.

I think it was always going to go this way, don't be surprised if the other social medias also jump on the bandwagon.

Crypto and blockchain disrupts them in a huge way and they have two options, adopt it or try to break it.

Clearly they are trying to do the latter, although I think crypto is now too big to kill.

This is only a downfall of scam ICO but not the whole crypto. It is a good decision of Google to ban it to minimize scam ICO that is rampant now a day. Those legit ICO will surely find a way to advertise their ICO ifthey are really want to develop their project.

I think decentralized banner network is a solution for that matter . U agree ?

How well do those ads even work? I would think most people hear about btc word of mouth or news bits, and that funnels them towards coinbase or maybe one of the larger fiat entry exchanges. You'd have to assume that the ads are snagging some people, but those would probably be people already into coins in some way (since it is minorly complicated getting started). If anything, it shuts out some of the bad noise for people by getting rid of the ads. The earworm of crypto will find other ways.

Nasty play from Google, I see it more of a bullying tactic but they seem to be a little scared.

Speedcash ADVERTISMENT NETWORK can solve this problem, no need for third party

If Google bans the crypto-currency ads, then it will lead to the downfall of Google in the long-term. Remember the late 90s? Google managed to replace Yahoo just because they were more open to new ideas.

FOr me, yes it will have effects on crypto currency but on a little amount only because there are many ways to advertise crypto currencies such as social media which many people were using it. It can be also on newspaper will many people read it so nothing can stops advertisement of crypto currencies.

Yes, I think it can solve this problem:)

but there are some regulations that do not benefit the user and there are still some countries that still tend to avoid making regulation for crypto itself

Bully tactics from Google while they try to compete.

It's the way of the business world sadly.

already many people say that such measures will only clear the market from bad ICO. Although in the short term it can affect the market in the form of correction to be expected

Smells like sour eggs, Google showing their true colours by sing bullying tactics and also getting their social media buddies to chip in. It's hurt crypto now, but in the long run I don't think you can slow this trajectory.

I don't think it will be Google's downfall.

Technology moves at an amazing rate that it is very hard to keep up once you become that big, remember Yahoo and Myspace?

I don't see it being a downfall to Google.

They wanted to hurt crypto by doing this to bide more time. I think they are more than aware that decentralisation is curtains for Google unless they can implement it into their system (hence why they are playing around with it now) If they can knock back crypto for 3/4 months it gives them a lot of time to compete. Remember Google has so much money, they will be cheery picking Blockchain developers all over.

Long run it won't hurt crypto and I am sure once Google has blockchain tech behind them and invested heavily, they will magically un ban it for "their users".

Unfortunately, security sometimes contradicts freedom and anonymity. I do not think that crypto currencies would become so popular if regulators controlled them initially.

Doesnt going to affect google's ad revenue becayse cryptocurrency ads is less than 1% of the google ads revenue,it wont affect too much if they have banned these cryptocurrency ads.Google is just protecting the people from these potential scams especially those scam ICOs around the web but it doesnt mean that you will get banned when you post promotional artices in your website or blogs.

i still see some advertise about it, and i follow some crypto guys on FB, so i have news from them, so not much problem with it,
btw i noticed my email had tons of mails about new crypto project etc, so who need to do promo he will find the way to his customers i think.

I don't think it will impact wither crypto or Google in the long term, but I could be very wrong!

I think that if Google removes all topics related to cryptocurrency, this forum will become the main place for advertising projects related to cryptocurrencies.

I think it's a cheat tactic by Google as they are throwing their weight around, but I don't think it will come back to bite them. They have given themselves time to compete .

We can see this things in two ways.
Good way- we will have the limited number of big budgeted ICO. As it will decrease the fraudents who use google ads or any other google platforms to promote their companies. Now we have to do research better to understand what is the project all about.
Bad way- it really effect the price of cryptos. When a big giant company is up against you then you have to worry about it. As people are more scared of things when it comes to the money. They dont know the fact but they beleive. So there is a major stage of disaster for all crypto.

I don't think it will be the downfall of Google, but blockchain is on their tail, they are a little scared.

Yes, the forum (bitcointalk.org) only benefits from such actions as a complete ban on advertising crypto currency!

Speaking of Google, everyone forgets that the ban will affect the services of Youtube, as its owner is Google. Gloomy times come, guys, I'm afraid that these bans caused irreparable damage to the market of crypto-currencies

Are you sure? :o

I don't think this will have much of an imapct on legitimate projects as they will gain exposure through other means, I think this will have a huge impact on the flyby ICOs that just want to raise as much as possible with very little in the pipeline.

Maybe it is just a phase where everyone wants to ban crypto, once crypto gets to a peak level of awareness Google and it's pals will have no choice but to change their thinking or possibly face falling behind the space.

Funny because I still see these fiat trading company ads which are obvious scams advertised all over the place.

I also don't understand the policy of Google. I was hoping that this is a very modern company that is open to new technologies. I can't believe that Google does not accept crypto. But I'm fully confident that such events can not negatively affect crypto for a long time.
