is that real or fake news?...
i am confused of what people are disccussing about banning all cryptos and altcoins in social media,how should we know that its real or not...
im scared,because like me this is the way that i participate in bounty campaign,how can i participate those bounties if theres no twitter and facebook update for cryptos..

nope not at all, not all social media bitcoin is banned, there are some social media that bitcoin is still advertising.

It's true there will be a ban but it has not been announced yet, and I do not think it will happen and just as news to lower the bitcoin price for them to buy at a cheap price.

as you can see theres still ads regarding crypto in facebook so that might answer your question..

Not all social media banning Bitcoin, currently prohibited is only an advertisement about Bitcoin.  why they banned Bitcoin ads, I think they get a huge profit from advertising.

I think that kind of news will be news like the wind goes by, and it could be as news of the drama of the big whales of bitcoin, and it will not come true.

There has been news about facebook banning crypto ads, as well as google and twitter according to some sources. Nevertheless, it being seen on facebook advertisements as of the moment does not mean that it is not banned, it is just that maybe the banning of crypto ads is still not due today. Other's might be right though since there are no official statements yet from facebook but in twitter's case, the sources that says it will also ban ads related to crypto is credible.

Firstly stop panicking! The news is not entirely true! Facebook, Google and Twitter decided to ban cryptocurrency advertising that is being served through their advertising platform. They have not decided to ban crypto related accounts. So you are owner of a crypto related accounts, you don't have to worry and you can still participate in bounty campaigns.

the real part is that you can no longer advertise cryptocurrencies on Google or Facebook anymore. for example people can no longer scam others through ICOs using these platforms.

you can no longer receive free crappy tokens that are scamming others.

If the news is true, you can't blame to anyone. It's your fault.

Yes, there are some social media bans on bitcoin, but not all social media is banned, and only a few have banned bitcoin. I in some social media can still see some ads about encryption currency, I only saw the Google and facebook prohibits bitcoin and ico information, but I still can see about encryption currency advertising on facebook

yes .. the story is true that crypto ads are banned in social media, but have not been officially announced, I hope that will not happen if ads are banned in social media where other cripto ads will be served

I still see a lot of campaign with facebook and twitter campaign so the ban is not fully implemented I can pos ton Facebook about airdrops and ICO and it is still alive I have not yet received a notification from Facebook that I am in prison because of posting cryptocurrency related stuffs.

Bitcoin being banned on social media (whether it is true or false) will not affect your bounty hunt that much as you will still be able to participate in most bounties.The only one that is bit a problem now is with facebook where some ICO pagelinks are removed.Every other thing is going on smoothly  

Not all social media blocks advertising and ICO crypto currency. Facebook and twitter are planning and it can still change. If you participate in social media campaigns, we just wait, there must be a solution to that. Because crypto growth is very fast. They can only limit crypto currency space. But can not stop it. So don't be afraid.

it`s bad news

which is banned advertising services and fanspage that have elements of fraud including ICO ads.
so essentially this will be reviewed by them and hopefully find the best solution.

This is false news. Google and some social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter just banned the paid advertising of Bitcoin and crypto currencies. But people and ICO projects still have their accounts and could advertising about their cryptos in this platforms without any issue right now. There is no planned banning of crypto in social media as you mentionned.

Trading Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies with one another happens through a blockchain platform, which has not been confirmed as a legal digital money transaction method until now. Other than just discussing cryptocurrencies on social media, many people started to create ads representing Bitcoin sale, and it was actually found to be violating the ad campaign rules of Facebook, which is one among the giants in the world of social media. As these digital money transactions and businesses are not legalized and authorized in many parts of the world, Facebook decided not to endorse or let their users make use of their platform to create ads related to cryptocurrencies.

Facebook's social media is rumored to prohibit the circulation of ads in its platforms that have content related to crypto currency (cryptocurrency), including bitcoin. The company initiated by Mark Zuckerberg argues that the content of those advertisements is related to deceptive and misleading promotional practices.

You are not yet in prison and never will be because you didn't violate a rule at all since you only post crypto-related infos on your wall which is not included on the conditions of the ban. In my perspective, what's not allowed anymore is that ICOs' advertisements are directly promoted by FB (e.g. Ads tgat are popping on the side of our wall).

Also me, I see crypto-related posts in some  groups who uses btc 'til now and I'm pretty sure that FB will also prohibit it because that will means suppression of freedom of speech.

I heard that there's a news that in social media the CryptoCurrency advertising are banned but I still seeing in Facebook are advertising about the crypto.

Bitcoin is not ban on social media or on facebook because of social media bitcoin rises or is recognized by social media users they spread it and shineshare to better identify bitcoin in different countries.

I don't think social media is banning Bitcoin, they are banning and filtering ICOs as most of the ICOs are scam and ponzies.

Twitter, like the other social media platforms doesn't differentiate between content that's being advertised, meaning that everything related to crypto isn't allowed to advertise (eg, tokens, wallet services, exchanges, cloud mining, etc). It would be a great thing if they just prohibited certain aspects from buying ad space, but that's too much of a hassle for them. I am sure that if the demand for ad space from legitimate crypto sources was high enough, these social media platforms would make various exceptions for exchanges or wallet services and exchanges, but that's not the case. On the other hand, that's a good thing, because that basically means that legitimate services weren't actively advertising on social media, and thus won't be that much affected.

They're still, but some ICO ads already banned. Sometimes when you post the url that redirect to ICO website, facebook will automatically block it.
Facebook are working hard to ban them one by one

Yes we continue to see the social media platforms banning the advertising of cryptocurrencies and ICOs. I believe the businesses just do not understand how to access these and are just simplying trying to reduce all exposure to any possible negative press, due to scams.

Then you should stick around much at bitcointalk. There are enough updates here on bounties and memebers of this forum don't lose much going by that action. By the way, the ban is a good thing that should checkmate ICOs so as to curb the numerous scams that icos have become.


I am not a fan of Twitter but I can speak of Facebook and I can authoritatively tell you all that the ban is already on.

Here in my country they say in news that google and facebook will banned crypto but i can use fb in some of my business about crypto related until now so i'm not sure if they can ban crypto,i think also that is possible but it takes time like a year or more because there's a lot of page there that already running for so long time

These social medias are definitely not banning all of them, they're more of strictly regulating them. They're trying to get rid of those ico ads promising huge profits to protect their users from being scammed.

I think that is only a fake news.
Why they ban bitcoin in social media? What is their purpose?
Bitcoin is also helping social media . Because of bitcoin more and more people are getting in touch or subscribe to facebook or twiiter etc  right.

Is it true?
But I still seeing in the social media that they advertising about the CryptoCurrency/ ICO's projects.
And there's a news that i heard it banned ads in tweeter but I believe it will be okay.

Don’t get hyper please. Big social medias decided to ban cryptocurrency advertising.They have not decided to ban crypto related accounts. So don't panic and see what happens.

I'm still seeing Ads on Instagram and Twitter. It is much more subtle that they are ICOs or cryptos, but that Ice Rock mining ICO is still always on my feed.

another fucking fud news lols they want to buy a lot of bitcoin when the value will go dips again thsi news i always heard it before so dont panic guys just hold your bitcoins and just buy more when the value of bitcoin goes dips more so you will get more money soon be patient and be strogn no matter what happen bitcoin is bitcoin it will going increase again!

the news is not 100% real. still a lot of social media bounty (facebook, tweeter, etc.). I hope the issue soon disappears.

What issue are you referring to? You want the ban to go away or the social bounties to go away?

not bitcoin but for crypto advertising. this is what is banned by internet giants and facebook. I think that any form of prohibition will have an impact and effect on crypto itself. but however we can not do much to prevent it or exception.

Bitcoin isn't banned on social media platforms but rather it's Ads that are banned for cryptocurrency as it came to light that a lot of these Ads were being used to carry out scams and a lot of people were falling victim to them so the ban was a move made by the social media companies to protect its users from further scams and to prevent scammers from using their platform to carry out their scams.

I think, not all social media will ban crypto. Yes, Facebook and Twitter have already banned the crypto related advertisement. But not the discussion on that topic. And if they want to do so, they will have to change the way of using social media. But they can ban organizational ads.

Bann news is ok. But people fail to understand what will be banned. Facebook, twitter, google only banned cryptocurrency advertisements not BTC or marketing ads of company. Future world is based on marketing so why it will banned marketing ads.

That was a fake news, don't be listen to the  fake news, because it will not help you. Bitcoin will never be banned in social media, because I believe That bitcoin wants to help a lot of people to reach thier goal in life, to help their studies, and to help their parents.

I hope its not gonna happen becaused this is the best way to promote bitcoin in social media.If they banned bitcoin i think the market go down so let us always positive thats not gonna happen.I feel nervious if i read like this,bitcoin is a big opportunity to us

yes, it is real, and you can read it in some media.

facebook has been longer plan to ban crypto ads but until today we can still use Facebook for a campaign, I do not know how the next action.

tweeter just news, because CEO tweeter supports bitcoin development, google and youtube also plan to ban crypto in next June. we will see how the action of Google to ban crypto ads in June.

whether it will be realized or not?
because bans crypto, only will make all people aware that crypto is a solution to make a better life.

Bitcoin is not banned, that is correct, Bitcoin will never be banned in social media, we do not know that since we do not need to advertise Bitcoin on Social Media or on the Internet since it is pretty popular but saying that Bitcoin will be helping alot of people to reach their goal in life, to help their studies and to help their parents? That is wrong. That is based on you and not really on why does Bitcoin is made.

bitcoin is not banned in social media even in google. but the ban is aimed at crypto sales ads like ico. yes, what I read from one of the news on the ban.
I think you can follow the signature campaign and make a pretty good post. I checked your profile, I think you like spam just doing reporting social media tasks but not doing the task of making a post, even though you use a signature. you know you have violated the rules

Any links that BITCOIN itself will be banned on social media? I do not know why people are spreading this kind of fake news. Bitcoin is not really banned by any social media sites nor by Google. The only banned crypto currencies on Google and Facebook are ICOs and other "related" to crypto currencies, if you do not know the real news just stop posting or read the whole news about it.

Bitcoin is not banned in social media. Because Bitcoin is giving people a lot of opportunities which makes people feel helpless. But some people are spreading false news about Bitcoin. Work from Bitcoin. It is good to not give ear to these fake news.

Don't worry! Our right of freedom is still intact and we can talk about cryptocurrency not only on social media but everywhere. Yes, the giant sites have restricted their ad platform for ICO related ads because scammers were using to execute their scam. However, I believe that soon things will get clear and these sites will allow genuine companies to advertise their products.

Some people pelieve that there is sort of conspiracy of internet providers and big companies against crypto

I think social media, get some viewing ads about digital currency,
because crypto growth is very fast, so do not be afraid.

knowing social media that wants to ban ads is facebook because it seems to be spam so they want to ban ads but leave me if the ban will continue to be prohibited because if it does not have a social media bounty Altcoin bounty and it affects people to know the new ico project

no not at all because social media is the best way to advertise the bitcoin and if they advertise the bitcoin on social media many people will see the bitcoin and if they see this they will attract on bitcoin and they will participate on bitcoin so social media didnt banned a bitcoin because this is the best way to show a bitcoin on social media

well i don't think so because on facebook every day i,m looking that people they are sharing something about bitcoin and i think it's very good for bitcoin we need to support bitcoin for its future.

Actually the news is not properly true, Social media wants to gain profit through advertisement of cryptocurrency so that Facebook, Google and Twitter baned but not have decided to ban crypto related accounts, you are owner of crypto related accounts you can involved in bounty campaigns.

Are you sure? what i heard is social media banning ads for ICO's, not bitcoin.
They banned it because many peoples got scammed on past ICO's. To prevent more scam and fraud, they ban it.

even if guys like FB etc. are trying to ban things like bitcoin, look at it this way: the banks are scared. too many people now know about bitcoin, blockchain etc. for the concept to ever truly go away, and they're trying to mitigate that as much as they can, and  imho that'll inevitably fail because people want it to succeed way too badly. just keep it alive and keep talkin about it and keep promoting it and someone'll figure out how to usurp the big boys someday

Yes that's true, facebook and twitter was banned cryptocurrency related advertising a few week before. Now I joined with twitter campaign a week before, and on this morning I cannot acces my twitter, I don't know what matters. Now I'm trying to acces my twitter, maybe in this night I can acces my twitter again. If this is because twitter ban cryptocurrency, maybe there's no bounty campaign for social media anymore.

I think that in some social media there is a ban on ads about bitcoin. but that also if out of the rules of the media.

Social media rely heavily on advertisements and most of them are up in arms against crypto currencies and assets . Somehow they are afraid that cryptos might eventually level the playing fields .

All Social Media platforms (Facebook & group, twitter as well as Google) have banned the advertisement of cryptocurrencies in their platform.

Some of the websites are going to stop crypto related advertisements but there is nothing called banning crypto on social media websites. People can still make posts, pages or groups related to crypto and share such information with other people.

I think that many new social channels like Telegram are supported because of so many crypto loving people using it. Crypto is here to stay whether these companies allow crypto advertisements or not as many people have adopted this technology.

Social media banned cryptocurrencies for this reason I know. There are too many scammers that have participated in the rise of digital coins. And the owners of the site were alarmed with the idea that there sites or pages are used for such a criminal act. Too many have been scammed. I think we need to solve scams first.

well, although there has been news that social media has banned advertising crypto, but honestly crypto is still very easy to find. I even saw some crypto ads on facebook a few days ago. but I do not know, it's probably just a trading ad. at least it's related.

Well, we can't fully confirmed about banning of crypto in the social media. Some would say that only ICO ads that are being banned but I still see some of my friends sharing about crypto ads. So, I think this is just another form of FUDs that could somehow destroying the crypto world. Also, we can't really guarantee about some ICOs are not legit because some of them are just scamming people.

There is no news that is now released on tv or on the radio so we do not have to panic while there are crypto currencies and many more invest in bitcoin can not really banned the bitcoin in today's stable bitcoin panicle and we do not know better yet the speed of the bitcoin is advisable not to let us believe in the false news that bitcoin is banned now just keep on bitcoin bitcoin so powerful today on social media unlikely to be banned in social media.

I think it is a fake news, because you can still advertise bitcoin or other coins in twitter and facebook

maybe this news is used for decreasing the price of bitcoin

It is not a reality as I am still receiving paid for adverts each day on Facebook that feature crypto and or ICO. I think I saw clarification saying the ban would only be in place on countries that were against ICO. So to say its banned in social media is overdoing the truth.

Bitcoin might be banned from social media bitcoin is strong in social media, it's not just as destructive as it believes in it and many bitcoin investors and still keep crypto money and others can not be banned bitcoin in social media really fuzzy.

Not at all are ban, many social media's are accepting bitcoin. Facebook admin said that they will ban the ads in facebook that is related to bitcoin, not the bitcoin itself.

Banning cryptos in social media was heard months ago. Some members are complaining that their work are being blocked by it. Some are fidgeting about it. I don't really know how and when it was started but I think that social media especially facebook are trying to banned crypto ads because they look at them as their competitors and in the near future they are planning to put up their own crypto so they are taking down slowly their competitors. Just an out of the blue wild guess.

social media is banned bitcoin but it's just facebook and twiteer and not all social media forbids cryptocurreny so that bitcoin has decreased in price.

Its true but it was made for ads that promoting through twitter and fb which means they wont be accepting new paying ads about crypto. Sharing and retweeting something didn't get banned because its user's right and although they ban cryptocurrencies ads, the main idea was to decrease scam ICOs and also filtering spamming new coin ads everyday while bitcoin didn't even need advertising from the beginning because these kind of news is already a free publication.  ;D ;D

Thats for real, bitcoin paid advertisements will be banned soon on social medias. You dont have to be scared if your sole purpose is just to join to bounty campaigns. As I've said that only those paid advertisements are the ones that are affected and who knows if any related post about bitcoin on social medias will also be affected but I don't think so.

Previously 2 weeks I have heard bitcoin is banned for advertising on facebook and google. But I see it does not affect the price of this market much. Because I think there is a market in this market to advertise it.

Bitcoin and other cryptos ads haven't been really "banned" from social media such as Facebook , twitter and google ads . What have been banned is ads to push ICOs since such companies policies don't agree with promoting for investment since all of that can turn up bad for their customers and can therefore engender problems for the platform that promoted for such fake/loosing projects .
But you still can use such social media for campaigns through your posts and shares on the groups/pages and these platforms won't mind that .
So they are just banning the payed ads that appears on the sides of the pages or randomly in the news feed , but whatever is shared by real people / page owners won't be affected by such decisions .

Well, some social media does not want an advertising stuffs or some things that would be endorse freely or without having their consent. Since bitcoin is decentralized means there are no people controlling it or managing it to keep it running then it would simply means that advertising bitcoin is free and social media platforms does not want it may be they don't get even have a benefit it endorsing it.

As far as a know bitcoin is still exist in social media which you will see any advertising ad that will pop up on your screen taking about the different ICO projects or any related all about crypto currency. Well, as a matter in fact to be banned in different sites is not easy at all which on my own perception because many ICO paid the different ad on the social media as well as the different bounty campaigns like facebook and Twitter which is the most visited sites throughout the cyberworld since as of this moment crypto related is still exists.

the news about banning crypto ads on social media is true, but I know it's for paid advertisements as other people explain, because I know facebook has banned crypto ads from January but until now there are still crypto ads. and I think banning ads on social media to filter out crypto cheating.
so while advertising without paying I do not think it will be banned by social media.

Bitcoin is not banned in social media. The things that got banned are ICO Ads and they were banned because most of these Ads were being used to scam unsuspecting users who were willing to get in the market but didn't know how to go about it, if we are being honest with ourselves, the Ads ban did more good than harm to the market because those scams were not good for the market anyway.

on facebook, the news is true. facebook has blocked crypto ads. now facebook is no new policy, and not just crypto, some youtube promotion on facebook is also now more difficult. they want to avoid unwanted events as it is very easy to access the site and also today almost all levels of society use it. specifically for bitcoin, they think bitcoin is a scam because of the drastic price decline from last December to early 2018.

As far as I know facebook and twitter prohibited to advertise crypto
And it's a pity, targeted Facebook advertising is one of the most effective methods at the moment

I didn't heard any news that  all cryptos are ban in social media,this fakes news that spreading can contribute to price down of all cryptos but it doesn't affect me anyway.

No I don't believe bitcoin is banned in social media, I think some platforms actually banned some ICOs though but I will do some more research and check it out.

I still get crypto ads from YouTube, maybe the ban it's related only on Facebook's platform, that I don't use really that much

If you till can participate in the bounty programs who are managed by fairly sensible managers then I am pretty sure the news is not yet fake. Why? Because obviously the ICO's still can promote their content over the social platforms and your manager still can run the bounties that include the social media posting and promoting.

Also, if you must have noticed then you will come to know that you still can visualise the advertisement related to the crypto currencies all over the Facebook, twitter, and off course google ads can be seen on every crypto related websites. So I dont think there is anything official that has been done about it yet.

Banyats are now not only bitcoin, but generally crypto-currencies in general are connected with the fact that companies are afraid to tear away their investors

I heard about the confirmation information from facebook. Not only bitcoin, ico and crypto will not be allowed to advertise on facebook. That is why the facebook campaign is often stalled or stopped. :-[

Don't worry OP, they are banning sponsored ads mainly, not accounts or bounties, we can keep doing that with no problems

They are trying to stop Bitcoin and cryptos in general from spreading too much now that they want (and probably will) enter in cryptos world

just banned ads only,more to ico
ico ad ads there are some who got banned there is not
if bitcoin has not heard social media baned bitcoin from facebook to twitter

These News are not true. they are speculative news. and to create a negative images about bitcoin. should not listen to them.

if true this would be the beginning of a crypto bankruptcy because if social media is banned it will affect the selling price of coins and crypto market. I have also heard this final news but until now there has been no action ban on social media.

It's better to read another article. You may just misconcept it. I know they will banned using invitation link. that's my feeling. But the Crypto totally ban it hard. The social media is profitable here so fuzzy.

Facebook is far from being a pioneer in its noble desire to protect unintelligent users from "incorrect" advertising, because it's almost a year since Russian Yandex has been stubbornly fighting the penetration of advertising crypto-currency transactions into the contextual network of Direct. Only Yandex, went further, banning, according to the author's observations, advertising farms, ASIC-miners (specialized devices for the production of crypto-currency) and data centers necessary for their placement.

Be observant my friend! Have you not seen any post on thy Facebook wall? On thy Twitter page?  I saw a lot, and search it on Google, it was not ban but regulated strictly fully.

What an awkward post, what do you mean its 'your fault' ? And moreover, It is true. Haven't you been reading the latest cryptocurrency news? Besides,  you don't  come here to point accessing fingers on anyone or else if you know the fakes developers who create fake ICOs to scam people off their money. You don't blame Facebook also for taking major actions like this, they are protecting their interest and that of their users.

Well it is true that Bitcoin is banned in some social media like facebook. But it is still allowed in some others. Most people see Bitcoin as terrorism and such things. So, to improve their image, they had to do that.

Yes that is very right that bitcoin is not banned on social media, in fact bitcoin is going to sell very soon. I am hopeful that very soon bitcoin will become much more and bitcoin will even give osofnigin

I'm also in favor of the ad bans. Those lazy investors are the types of people who always get caught in these scams and this implementations can be described like a damage control.

don't panic, you are just confused, some social medias are planning to ban ads in regards to bitcoin, not bitcoin itself, and it is just a plan, maybe some black propaganda of some FUDs, either way, you can still participate in bounty campaigns like signature and social media campaigns, it has nothing to do with retweets, share and likes on bitcoin- related stuff. so don.t overreact.

Some news is true that Bitcoin is banned in social media like Facebook.
However, i saw that it is still allowed in others. So, still believe that BTC is still developing.

The news is wrong. Google and some social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter only prohibit paid advertisements from Bitcoin and kriptocurrancy currencies. But ICO people and projects still have their accounts and can advertise their cryptos on this platform without any problems now. it's just that the crypto ads ban is still not due today.

in my opinion there are still ads that exist in some social media like facebook I still often see ads about cryptocurrency but if facebook ban ads about the world of cryptocurrency then it should not be able to trigger a price reduction, this is likely a lot of new players are easily affected bad news so they fear and sell the assets they own.

I am not keeping up with the prohibitions on facebook on ico advertising, not for bitcoin. Until now, there are many campaigns that still involve facebook. I'm not sure this is effective or not. however, I do not think it would have much effect now on the development of bitcoin and crypto.

Nope. I think bitcoin still allow on social media because if bitcoin is banned on social media, why are the manager of any social media don't complain about the bitcoin posts from the participants of social media so I think it is still fine.

I think this has long happened already. Haven't you heard about the news that Facebook and Twitter already banned ICO ads? Nevertheless, the last time I know, Twitter has not banned it completely but only those that the site perceives as scams involving faulty advertisements. Anyhow, make no mistake about this. It being banned on social media does not automatically translate to no means of learning on how to earn through it. You can be aggressive and creative at the same time by browsing the net. I, myself, did not resort to social medias to learn about bounty campaigns YET I am here. Do not make the ban an excuse to not earn in Bitcoin. It sure is not an impediment in this day and age.
