Hi Evan

Bitcoin currently falls in currency which is part of currency exchange services. We’ll notify you if we expand this area, and we’ll make your listing available to our users then. In the meantime, we welcome you to create another listing on a different topic. For more information on restricted categories, please see the Help Center.

If they hate bitcoin, they would have removed all the bitcoin wallets in Google Play Store.

Hi Evan

Bitcoin currently falls in currency which is part of currency exchange services.
I advise te very professional Helpout Team to check if they switched the charts from "Mt. Gox" to some other exchange. On my screen bitcoin went up over $100 this week to $660, which is over 3 times the average price of 2013.

And I thought they hire smart people.

It's not because Google hates Bitcoin. It's because you don't know how to read properly, or because you think you're a special exception to their rules.
