On 18 march Google said will ban all crypto related Ads services but until now I still see the ads running, what a jokes?

Facebook has already done it. but I can still share anything about crytcurrency.
Google also does the same thing, but I think they just make an issue for their interests.
their action is a monopoly to suppress prices.

they want to ban it because they want to reduce scams or greedy people who want to earn and lied to all investors but google cannot do it immediately because there are many ico adds that use google to promote their project so definitely google cannot replace ico add or remove it.

Now there are blockchain companies that are suing Google, Facebook, and twitter for banning all of the advertising related to encrypted money!

Google's ban on all encryption money related advertising will only be implemented in June!

I'm wondering also why there still some crypto related content on google and facebook if they totally confirm to restrict crypto currencies to advertise on their site. And it's been months since they acknowledge that news around the internet and nothings happen until now. maybe fake news.? Lol

Or maybe they don't want to really ban ICO ads. I speculate that the government has put some pressure on this big social media giants that's why they are banning it, however, they haven't put any filtered yet that's why we still seen a lot of ads popping around those social media. We know that they are big companies and capable of putting algorithm around their platform to clean it out, but why we are still seeing it today? Because its gonna take a lot of effort on their part and I don't think they are willing to shell out money just to do that. They are other important things for them for sure, and banning crypto ads this year may not be their priority. ;D

Sometime media/news arent literally true, sometime they just want to control the FUD and the FOMO.
Its really sad that the crypto market is really responsive to every news.

Are we going to say they have succeeded suppress the price as the price is now at the bad state? I think Google said it will ban cryptocurrences ads starting from June this year and I think we have to wait for that time before we can know if the ads ban is going to be infective or not.

They can't just remove it immediately, simple because of some ads are paying for it and there is a contract when you pay for your ads to be advertise on it. If they remove it, there will be more compliant into them.
Its just like the facebook, they are still advertising some ICOs that are paying for ads to them.

It was expected and now it's even an old news!

Not only Google, but Twitter already joined the ban group. Now crypto ads are banned on all 3 bigs - FB, Google and Twitter.

yes I think so, just monopolize to press the price but to make a post on facebook by using #ico #cryptocurrency etc it is a hard ban.

Most likely such a ban will just result in a temporary rise of ad prices on alternative ads services. Hopefully, such a censorship will result in a mass switch to more decentralized and independent services.

they said they will ban on June.


I guess You should understand correctly that they will ban The Advertisements services. it doesn't mean that you can not make posts about cryptos. I think you can differentiate between Advertisements and posts.

Google is joining the parade of those who want to ban bitcoin but i don't think they would be successful because there are a lot of other ways to promote cryptocurrency. Facebook is the first one to ban bitcoin but until now i saw ICO advertisement on FB, so i think they are not successful.

Care to give a source for that? I hate it when people post these claims without providing any news sources to back it up.
I can't find any articles that back up your claims, so I assume you're just making stuff up to increase your post count...

I see it seems google is getting interested to invest bitcoin so they start making a bit of a problem to drop the bitcoin so they can buy at the cheapest price. Lol
I think that's not fair, but I do not mind them cause I can still enjoy this shockingly crypto world.
I do not care they do bad actions against bitcoin at the moment, I believe they will start to open their eyes and start to see the many good sides of the crypto.

Any relevant sources for this passage? Google hasn't released any public statements regarding their stance on cryptocurrencies but only about the ads. And yeah, it's kinda funny how they appear to be serious on their statements yet I still see cryptocurrency ads whenever I use their search engine. Apart from that, Facebook also has some little bits of the icky crypto ads on their sites which appears to be from some ICO. Are they really banning these ads or it's just another bluff? No matter what really is happening, bitcoin surely is losing steam right now.

Although Google has announced that it will ban cryptocurrency ads, but its implementation is quite tough. It is so because there are so many ICOs that use Google to promote their project. It could also be possible that Google don’t really want to ban these ads but they are under the pressure of their own advertising policy. They cannot promote scams or faulty projects which cheat the customers, causing huge loss of money to them.

Don't be surprised that crypto market is really very reactive when it comes to news or fundamentals which I do have observed too ever since I do make involvement into crypto.Those big companies did make such banning and announcing about their actions related to crypto but until now ive been seeing this ads and questioned my mind why are these ads still here if they are already been banned?

They said like that because they said that they are against those who scam others and do not against crypto. I hope in the future if they will be able to filter scammers then they will allow crypto related ads once again. and nowadays I am also seeing ads on their network it is because they have given a deadline of a month or two and after that they will not show any ad.

it is not the news, it is an official statement.
Some Advertisements of crypto related contents are still on facebook because their contract has not expired yet. facebook can not just remove them immediately in lawful. but they don't accept any new advertisements of crypto related contents.

Actually,i wonder also that this google implemented of banning all cryptocurrency advertisements,but until now i can see news feed and promotion about the digital currency system,and i hope that  the decision of google will be change  and twisted ,because if this ban implementation happen and declared by google  all of us bitcoiners in this community will be affected and struggle on how to advertise the cryptocurrency with free.

The content of the news is that bitcoin advertisements will be banned by Google this coming June,some FUDS spread this news earlier because this will cause panic to some holders,making  those weak hands to probably sell their coins.This might be the reason why its too alarming for todays dropping price of bitcoin already went low.Banning issues absurd by holders makes people to speculate more if its still valuable to hold longer or to just  cut their losses even if they don't get any profit than left with nothing.I just hope that if Google would put any consideration to legitimate ICOs not to be banned,because this will help alot to our fellowmen to have oportunities to work with new projects.

No it is not a joke they have not implemented it yet and also I am in favor with this social media  banning ICO. Their first responsibility is to protect their users and usually who post ads in social media, of course it is ICO. ICO are popping out like mushrooms and most of them are shady.

Facebook has banned Crypto related ads but sometimes I can still see some ICO. Probably they are reviewing it now if it is a legit ICO or a scam ICO.

Google and Facebook were quicker to ban cryptocurrency ads then Russian bot ads or misogyny and racism. You can literally show images of beaten and dead women on Facebook that do not violate Facebooks terms but cryptocurrency does? Messed up. It's going to affect content creators in the bitcoin space. No more ad revenue means no more incentive to create content. Alternatives pay only a fraction of what you can make with adsense. So sites like this one as well as youtube channels will be affected

haha, joke or something, but this looks very silly, my hero! 😂
the question is, if that's true, will there be many more extras on the panic book list? is this just a FUD anyway? but, let's just hope that all this is just a bullshit and a story without a scenario only.

Such big news could not be a joke in the first place. It will look like that these mega organisations have gone crazy about their management skills and that will be bad impression if was owner of it. They surely have the serious agenda on this and its about the time when they will finalise the decisions. Facebook has ran into bigger problem than banning the crypto ads for now. The personal data stealing case is still on and they have to look after that before they could start banning the ads. Googles news is anyway not so serious yet and no legal doc ha published yet.

If I were them then for sure I will look into priorities and for now Facebook has to overcome the stealing case issue.

I still confuse, how the ban cryptocurrency advertising will have an impact to bitcoin price?

Here's the source: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/13/google-bans-crypto-ads.html

Obviously they wouldn't start banning the ads now if they promised to deliver it on June. After all they're probably still receiving money from advertisers and since there are so many of them, they probably want to have a phase out period.


Don't ask me. Most legitimate advertisements aren't even on google. However it is extremely suspect that facebook/google/twitter all started banning together, which is why there is a crypto group worldwide that is suing them on this.

It's affecting price simply because traders are making a big deal about it. That's the truth about news and media, it can be used to manipulate markets quite easily even though the relevance isn't even that high. One piece of negative news such as crypto ad bans can lead to a huge panic in the market without any sort of rational reason.

Where you got news google ban cryptocurrency related in 18 march? I was read in cnbc.com google will ban cryptocurrency related in june 2018. You can see this news https://www.google.co.in/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2018/03/13/google-bans-crypto-ads.html . It's including a joke?

We will see in june, if adsvertising about cryptocurrency still there, maybe we can say it's a joke right? The price cryptocurrency is very susceptible with speculation, some people who have instinct a cheat they will do it. Write some news and they will spread up the news to internet, it's good job right.

The banning will take effect on June 2018 so no need to be excited. Please see this link https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/13/google-bans-crypto-ads.html So therefore, all incoming ICO will have lot of time to plan very well their project advertisements before that day as i think Google is final on their decision of banning even do they will lost a huge potential income from advertising business if they ban Crypto. Lucky for those ICO that projects are already started that will end before June.

google prohibits cryptocurrency ads to prevent bad ads controversial and contains cyber crimes and fake ICO. I read that the ban will start in June. I think this is just an attempt to suppress the bitcoin price.

It's not a joke because it will be effective on June (someone correct me if I'm wrong with the month). They announced it on March 18 but that's not effective immediately so you must understand that it takes time before they are going to fully implement that they are banning crypto ads.

The current crash that we are experiencing can be one of its result.

I agree with you buddy.Still now it's possible to share about crypto currency in Facebook.I had recently seen some ad related to crypto currency.This will be joke of the year. ;D
Eventhough the crypto currency advertisement is banned,the investors in bitcoin will increase due to it's decentralized concept.

Just the panic that keeps the price falling, and they manage to make this situation.
they managed to lead them to sell their assets and this made the price go down.
this is clearly a bad joke, whales are performing and monopolizing for their sake.

it does not!
it is the market trend that is decreasing the price slowly, we are in a bear market now. and all the rest are just noise in the background telling people's subconscious to feel fear and sell their bitcoins to the whales who are buying cheap coins these days.

They still benefit from those ads. They are joking about it. We know that google sells our info and people today are having interest on cryptocurrencies and the google will surely take advantage on it. That is why you could see ads about crypto everywhere once you make a search about something in google.

To be honestly, in my opinion it is a very good sign for crypto when all those ads get banned.

Do you guys realize which types of ICOS/tokens/websites buy googles adspace to keywords like blockchain, bitcoin, wallet?
I would say 70% are some poor phishing attempts (which sadly do work because there are people who always click the link at the top, wether
it is a google ad or not seems to be completely irrelevant to them).

The other 30% are different scam sites, which also live from baiting people into pasting any sensitive information / downloading malware.


So, if a ton of (stupid) people get scammed through those sites, this will hurt cryptos reputation.
As stupid as it sounds.. but the retarded people have to be guarded from those scams.
If not, bitcoin (or any other crypto) won't be able to rise as fast as they 'deserve'.

 

Google only announced that the ban on March 18. You clearly didn't pay close attention to the announcement because they said the ban would go into effect in June 2018. Ads are paid for in advance and run on a contract, so it takes time to clear out the prepaid inventory of ads that were already slated to run, which is why there is generally lag time in between an announcement of a ban like this and the implementation of it.

I don't know this is true or just another fud whales in order to enhance the effect of the panic. But I see no reason to ban advertising in major social networks had a chance to reduce interest in cryptocurrency. For a long time developed a network of specialized sites that are happy to share with each other the income from advertising.

Facebook announce early to ban crypto Ad after that Google following them, it should be pressure by some governments because as we knew china also going to ban crypto.
Twitter also thinking about to take action against crypto Ad…so in the coming couple of months will clear the picture.

There are only two possibilities that I can imagine, as you say one possibility is that that was fake news it will be interesting to get confirmation directly from the owners of those companies, the second possibility is that the news are real but that the ban is not applied immediately and it will take some months before its enforced, to me this seems like the most likely option, Google and Facebook are gigantic companies and it's very difficult to apply something as complex as a ban overnight, so they need time to enforce the ban.

I still see ads on facebook, maybe this is a strategy to manipulate the market. So more are investing in bitcoin while the price is low. It seems that Google forbids the cryptocurrency with good intentions and purposes, to reduce crime rates and fraud.

I think this is just a rumor or an issue to make a panic in crypto market. if this news is true, I think all parties will make an agreement on the rules regarding crypto currency

I just hope that banning crypto is only temporary in terms of advertisement. Were the time for banning is a time for them to think how to resolve scammers issue using advertisement.

yes sir it seems that it is one of the false news that can trigger a bitcoin price reduction and it's like a joke in this digital world, hopefully bitcoin does not experience a very sharp decline again and there is good news from google about their statement.

I am foreseeing that Google will be doing this one because all other social media are doing the same. I think that they won't succeed in banning cryptocurrency ads because bitcoiners will always find ways.  :)

Decline were still continue thanks to this news again. Expecting more bear market because of this. I would rather wait until June if the market will still decline this negative news which are happening in the whole crypto world. There are no good new at all this few months of 2018 that's why I'm not investing today.

Well, in my opinion, I think that the reason why they cannot stop these crypto advertisements is either because it is beyond their capabilities to control the people using google and facebook(which I highly doubt) or because they are a part of something big or somewhat a hidden agenda that may be hidden to the public. But whatever the case is, we are powerless about the issue. So what I do is just ignore things that are out of my hands and just try to adapt to what new things happen every day as hard as I can.

Yes, I also feel that. Ads related to crypto and ICO projects still appear. I think they are still in the process of finalizing the cryptocurrency-related advertising policies. To my knowledge, Google has announced that the ban will be effective from June this year, so it will take some time. Google made this decision perhaps they wanted to protect customers from phishing projects. This is just my opinion

That's agreeable mate, the ads couldn't be stop because its all part of the business of the online marketing in the internet. Even if the crypto currency was on the finalization of the policies, still I believed that cryptocurrency will make a stand on this and will not be ban. This cost a lot of money for them, specially on google advertising which is one of the biggest market who accepts any advertisements. The more important thing for them to do as part of the development on how to enhance the services of advertising pop ups, so the best thing to have here is how strengthen the security of the websites against phishing activities. However we couldn't prevent this to happen, at least the control is there and satisfied customers will be safer then.

This is the kind of thing one could make the price of crypto has decreased. Perhaps this ordeal for investors and wherever possible should be able to wait a few months until the large increase crypto again.

Maybe this is just a bluff just to the crypto to make crypto is increasingly chaotic. I think in the within the next few months the impact of this statement is not a big problem for the price of crypto.

Maybe it is part of there plan but then they decided not to proceed to it because they still needed to study about it.They cant just easily decide without doing proper studies to make sure nothing or no one can be offend.

Maybe you didn't get why they do it because in my opinion and based on some statements that i read it was done for the good it means they will screen the promotional ads if its legitimate or not. All ads will not be published if it is something that is not pass to the ico standards. This is only my opinion.

I don't think that Google is against the cryptocurrency. It may be against the scammers but against cryptocurrency in general. As for me, soon everyone will realize that this is the best innovative technology.
