Google has begun to accept advertisements for Bitcoin, and Google lifted its ban on advertisements related to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Starting August 3, companies using Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies can once again advertise on the search giant and various websites that are part of its platform. The ban was implemented in March 2018 to comply with the new regulations of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the United States (FinCEN).

I heard this news actually a month ago that google will now start to accept the advertisement for bitcoin and it is a very good news for all of us. Google is the number 1 search engine and bitcoin ads being seen there will surely increase the popularity of bitcoin all around the world.

it's true that this good news has been circulating a month ago if google has started accepting bitcoin ads it will affect the price of bitcoin of course the price of bitcoin will be moon and this will definitely be a big opportunity for those who have big capital now when buying bitcoin it's likely that in the future bitcoin prices will go up, don't waste this golden opportunity.

Indeed, this will be a good start. Now that Google has released and accepted it, it will not take back this news again, which bodes well for the future of the encryption field. What is certain is that Bitcoin will rise because of Google's price, and Google will definitely reap certain benefits.
But I hope the advertisements I see will not be some scams. I have seen fraudulent advertisements on other websites. I hope Google can filter out these bad things.

This is excellent news for everyone. I hope that Google would find ways to monitor and cancel out ads that will possibly scam people and know what type of projects and companies are legit. Some of the wrong people will probably take advantage of this and make it so that they are benefiting from this lifting of the ban.

Overall, this would create even more exposure to crypto, and I hope it's a positive one.

This is a positive news for cryptocurrencies. Google's acceptance of Bitcoin advertisements will affect the price of Bitcoin. When people see the advertisement, more people will understand Bitcoin, and Bitcoin will become more and more popular, which will drive the price up.
Hope to see legal and interesting things on the website instead of fake encrypted news that creates FUD.

Yes, this is good news, but it doesn't mean that advertisers will have an easy time to used for any projects specially scammy ones. They will have to pass certain requirements before being allowed to use in Google platforms.

So this is a win-win again for crypto related projects, they can take the and used Google and then Google can obviously generate income from the ads.

I have also heard this problem in the past. This time hopefully google has really supported the crypto space. The giants of twitter and facebook also have behaviors that cause the market to reverse. I don't expect google to start a fud effect a few months later. Lol, media is always a double-edged sword.

What changes have they done to pick which ad could be approved?
This is the link to the update https://support.google.com/adspolicy/answer/10688110

The ads that are not allowed:

• Ads for initial coin offerings, DeFi trading protocols, or otherwise promoting the purchase, sale, or trade of cryptocurrencies or related product. Ads like ICO.
  Ad destinations that aggregate or compare issuers of cryptocurrencies or related products

If you read all the changes made, it's basically very vague rules. They are not distinguishing which one is actually allowed which any bitcoin-related ad could be subjected to not being allowed.

Possibly a good news for a centralized web world. Where one company has a market share of more than 60% and dominates almost everything happening online. It's sad that in the times of decentralized currency systems, we still depend on centralized internet search engine. But that's what it is! Google wants a slice from crypto market and crypto market needs new users. If both are fulfilling each other's requirements, where to complain? It's instead better to submit to the situation and prosper! Isn't it?

I did see a few adverts before this statement was made by google. The question is will they continue to support the crypto space or they will again implement the ban after some time? I assume they might not as most tech giants are accepting crypto adverts and Google does not want to be left out. The next step would be accepting cryptocurrency to pay for the advert.

It's rather straightforward imo though? Crypto-related stuff that isn't released or isn't guaranteed by something (idk specifically what, or maybe it's just that it needs to be an "official" release) isn't allowed. Trading advice, signals, groups, and such are also not allowed. In this case, the ads that would pop out are most likely CEXs and the like, the ones that have a theme of being "regulated" by a central body. I wouldn't exactly expect a "Bitcoin" ad itself, maybe one that leads to the whitepaper or something, since most would be taken by exchanges and companies and the like..

I'm not that excited to hear that. In the past, Google Ads were only filled with new crypto investments, affiliates, ponzi schemes. Also they are quite weak with verifying the legitimacy of ad site sources due to the fact they only do more serious reviews when ads are reported.


Google is the biggest adsense provider right? The target of advertising is not just search engine users, internet users have depended a lot on google products where they allow displaying as many ads as possible such as youtube, android apps, etc. In fact, wherever you visit the site, you can't avoid ad space and most of it is google adsense.

They allowed ads in the past, then they tightened their rules and restrict ads repeated to cryptocurrency in 2018 in the massive compromise of scam ICOs.

Three years and now they lift those restrictions. It is a must lift to keep their platform position because many new companies are readily to join the ecosystem and take over the leading position of Google.

When governments, SEC launch more regulations on cryptocurrency, taxation, and more, Google will fully open their gates to all crypto companies that can pass regulations from government. Those companies will bring income to Google, not only from Google ads.

this is good news. i have already read the articles of google updating their ad rules for crypto last month, this is just implemented this month. good for everyone who can advertise there i guess if is adopted widely now companies can already advertise and flash their ads to everyone interested whenever they visit some websites. if only casinos are allowed in google adnetwork, they're already there and not here.

Google is keen to prevent any opportunities for false advertising.
The platform will not allow advertisements for initial coin offerings (ICO) and decentralized finance (DeFi) trading protocols.
Other advertisements used to purchase or trade cryptocurrency.
This also includes pre-sales, crypto loans, initial decentralized exchange (DEX) products, token liquidity pools, celebrity cryptocurrency endorsements, non-custodial wallets, and unregulated decentralized applications (dApps).

It can be seen that they are taking several different measures to prevent fraud.

From the quote above, maybe we can understand that allowed ads must meet the requirement and get Google certification. Advertisers still have to comply with the regulation of the country which is the region or country the advertisement is targeted for and so far the United States is one of those mentioned in the article. Trading platform and wallet are two ads that may get permission from google and get certified, but nevertheless they can increase people's exposure to bitcoin and crypto. I believe this will be positive information for crypto.

I don’t think this will solve the problem, but their regular advertising already has a fraud problem. I very much doubt that they are doing more than maintaining phishing links similar to major cryptocurrency exchanges.

It seems that this is indeed good news. Everyone probably knows it now. Bitcoin seems to be going up, but there are indeed many false advertisements. They should strictly prohibit false advertisements. We must be more vigilant as some consumers come in. But this ban will not be taken back?

Are these the Google Ads that pops up in the first in the search result that has "Ad" tag before the result itself? Not sure if this is gonna be a good news, because there has been a lot of frauds of those advertisement making people think that it is a legitimate website. I am pretty sure that even phishing site are sometimes included in those ads.

I kind of recall this thread where there is a fake Blockchain website. It will make people think that they are visiting their legit site.
[Beware of blockchain phishing sites] (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5319870.0)

Beginning August 3, advertisers offering Cryptocurrency Exchanges and Wallets targeting the United States may advertise those products and services when they meet the following requirements and are certified by Google.

In order to be certified by Google, you need to:

• Be duly registered with
• (a) FinCEN as a Money Services Business and with at least one state as a money transmitter; or
• (b) a federal or state chartered bank entity.
• Comply with relevant legal requirements, including any local legal requirements, whether at a state or federal level.
• Ensure their ads and landing pages comply with all Google Ads policies

The following is not allowed:

BTCAds for initial coin offerings, DeFi trading protocols, or otherwise promoting the purchase, sale, or trade of cryptocurrencies or related products

• Examples (non-exhaustive): ICO pre-sales or public offerings, cryptocurrency loans, initial DEX offerings, token liquidity pools, celebrity cryptocurrency endorsements, unhosted wallets, unregulated DApps

---

BTCAd destinations that aggregate or compare issuers of cryptocurrencies or related products

• Examples (non-exhaustive): Cryptocurrency trading signals, cryptocurrency investment advice, aggregators or affiliate sites containing related content or broker reviews

Here is the link of the original statement: https://support.google.com/adspolicy/answer/10688110?hl=en

In overall, we can say that this is a good news because it will help us to not become a victim of most crypt scams. People won't be able to buy similar domain and advertise scam crypto mixer clones, they won't be able to advertise scam ICOs, etc.[/list]

Google has plenty of room for Bitcoin to be advertised, huge platforms like YouTube and other Google apps, it'll be a better opportunity for Bitcoin promoters to advertise their casinos and services, they'll reach millions of people since YouTube alone has 122 million daily active users.

It's been 3 years since Google has banned Bitcoin ads, and knowing that the ban has been lifted, it only means that Bitcoin is continuously expanding and the number of companies who are willing to advertise in Google alone defines how big Bitcoin and the market is going to be.

Whatever the reason, this is a better thing than nothing because Google's change in attitude is very positive for the cryptocurrency market, which faces regulatory uncertainty around the world.
being allowed on the google ad network will allow bitcoin to reach more new users and will have a very good impact going forward, and the 3 year ban on bitcoin advertising has finally melted away even though it has to meet the requirements and processes that must be implemented, most importantly at least the bitcoin ad ban is no longer valid and we should be happy.

I admitted that is good news for crypto users as Google accepting bitcoin ads. But somehow, Google needs to work hard to filters every bitcoin ad because it will attract scammers to use the ads for their purpose to trick many new people who use Google. But I am sure Google will figure out how to prevent the unrelated bitcoin ads to their ads logarithm so people will only see the ads that will not try to scam them. Anyway, by accepting bitcoin ads, it seems Google wants to take part in cryptocurrency and who knows, Google will launch their own crypto to their audience and attract investors in the future.

Great news! I just hope they aren't going to allow scammers to post ads. ;)

There will be a big changes in bitcoin for sure and i hope this one is legit.  Indeed google advertisement is one of the most effective way to promote anything around the internet , for me if they don't ban bitcoin perhaps it's now keep hanging at the top.. I dont know what's the reason wherein despite they keep advertising some stocks exchanges and etc but they declined bitcoin even it has big if we will make a comparison .. Btw let's forget about that..the most important is the future and i hope these one is real..  :D

At last google  understand the importance of cryptocurrency specially bitcoin , now that they lifted the banning there will be more and more ads will comes out from the most use site in the world.
this cannot be promised mate , because no one knows who are scammers or not even hackers cannot be found so lets check or believe at our own risks .

It's a piece of great news that google has lifted the cryptocurrency ads ban. Google was just following protocols before that lead to the banning of advertisements related to crypto because crypto has a bad reputation then. Fortunately, the cryptocurrency community has been able to redeem itself by proving that it is beneficial and not harmful at all if done correctly. Crypto is often associated with schemes, scams, and illegal activities which is why it was commanded to be taken down and be prohibited to be shown on Google platforms.

With this, the price of bitcoin in the next few months has a high tendency to be influenced. Bitcoin's price can go high because of this. Many potential investors can be encouraged by this news because it already came from Google itself - trusting cryptocurrency once again. This will be a great instrument for more exposure that can garner many users which can play a significant role in our community. I just hope Google will filter all the ads to be displayed upon the platforms to avoid promotion of unsafe sites and information about bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

if google has received bitcoin ads, you can say this is good news, we can't deny it over time, bitcoin continues to grow and more and more people hold bitcoin, bitcoin is now more popular in all circles, maybe that's the reason Google accepts bitcoin ads, because Google wants to increase their income, they don't want to waste the opportunities that lie in front of their eyes..

I agree with you, no matter what the other limitations are or may be, the important thing is Google is accepting btc ads which is a good sign, I hope to see more good news to come in time, this is already inevitable in my opinion, they can't keep fighting with btc, they just have to accept it at some point.

Google definitely sees an opportunity to make big money from here, it's very tempting...

since the ban on Bitcoin and crypto advertising made by Google it is unreasonable and there is a political element in it. now they removed the ban so that's very good news.

The effect is only one tenth of the original because in recent years, other social networking platforms have had an advantage in advertising and saved a lot of costs while in those years, Google completely banned advertising about bitcoin and unfortunately, Google has returned to bitcoin advertising at a time when awareness of it was already very high among the general public. There really isn't a strong chance and it could be another risk, look at the Amazon examples to understand that risk.

Good for them. It was eventual as cryptos can't be resisted and when the people are with the crypto industry then they can't resist. They tried, all the institutions and govts tried, but they have to surrender. Bitcoin and crypto are here to stay.

It's good for us too. Although some ads are scams and many are there only for getting referrals, they will convince more people buy bitcoin, hence rise the price.
...Or at least that's what I expect to happen...

The only ones that will benefit from these ban lifting is probably the scam websites that are actively making their sites on top or advertised. i don't know if I'll be happy about this or not but this is definitely not an entirely good news for me.

Well, I hope that someone from the team will be able to filter all crypto sites that want to promote before it published as these scammers and scam sites will surely take advantage. But I think that Google is already aware of this possible scenario and this is not only happening to crypto ads. Strict rules must be implemented to stop the spread of fake and scam sites, and this will add loads for the team.

This is really huge for bitcoin as this will in multiple folds creates awareness and increase the publicity about bitcoin and all that it entails. Good to see bitcoin talking grounds.

I don't know about this but I feel like it's difficult to filter it out, remember that millions if not billions are using their site so I don't think it's humanly possible to do this and the current AI technology is too strict that it might also eliminate sites that aren't a scam. Also, even if people all over the world that are against scam work together, it won't be enough and they can only do so much.

If the ban was introduced to comply with some regulations, I wonder on which grounds it's now being lifted. And, to be honest, I have mixed feelings about this announcement. At first glance, it might seem like great because because cryptos can become more visible to people via ads. But if you think about it longer, you realize that Bitcoin isn't exactly a company, so we can barely expect anyone to pay for ads that'll just encourage people to use Bitcoin. Instead, these will be ads of crypto-related companies, and it's good if we're talking about top exchanges, but there will also probably be many scammy projects, and this will annoy people and strengthen the association of Bitcoin with scam. It's good that ICOs aren't allowed, but it doesn't mean that no scam will make it there to the ads.

Google banned crypto advertising in March 2018 and even changed the rules that same year in September allowing crypto exchanges to become certified advertisers on its platforms in America and Japan.

and this year google again gives leeway for crypto companies to advertise on google and with some policies that must be obeyed.

Note that advertisers must be properly registered with FinCEN as a financial services business or bank entity chartered by the US state government. so not all crypto companies can advertise on google.

Google ads of course will make the reach of people increase.  all generations will definitely be able to see those bitcoin ads on their smartphones and make them curious about what it is.  this is great news and hopefully by the end of this year we will see the price of Bitcoin breaking through $100k.

Yes we know that news too. But its a old news it didn't affect that much. Yeah that's true Google didn't run any add which was bitcoin related. Now they show bitcoin is accepted by lots of countries then google can run that add too. And Google say they will also show that adds on us too. But breaking news what comes just an hour ago which was now coinbase users can buy crypto through google pay, and apple pay. I think this news will be a biggest bullish news for bitcoin.  And it helps a lot to reach more people and getting their trust too.

I have created a thread regarding that news, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5352623.msg57609971#msg57609971
But I was unable to find any strong news links. However, seems the source is fine that you have mentioned in the OP. Google has taken the right decision about advertising Bitcoin-related sites. Since Google advertise many scam site, so I believe they should allow advertising all crypto-related ads. Because all crypto projects aren't scamming at all.

Sometimes one has to first destroy (at least a little) to build and we have to build.
I believe this news is a bullish sign for cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin has further upside potential
So yeah. Buy bitcoins...

Not sure, but I guess that's not new because I saw that on the news about a month ago where google decided to accept bitcoin for the advertising services. However, That's good news for the people who were unable to use Paypal and CC for this service and they had to pay their bitcoins to someone and ask him to pay for him, I remember in many cases scammer could get the coins and run away while they could not be tracked easily. However, I believe there will be much more fake ICO advertising through google ads sine the scammers won't share their personal payment informations.

IIRC this was lifted year/months ago, but needs a more restricted regulation before they accept crypto advertisers.

Can't say that this is a good news but, make sure that they will be more strict accepting crypto related ads coz there are still newbies who can easily be fooled by just seeing an too good to be true ads ln google.

That's not entirely true. There will be legitimate companies welcoming this news, since any exposure to their company will benefit them. Plus, as much as I dislike Google there's no denying that the vast majority of people use their search engine, and its probably the best in terms of searching up things on the internet. My dislike is because of the privacy issues that arise from using it.

Didn't the lift the ban few months ago? I have been hearing about them banning and unbanning crypto related advertisement very frequently. As far as I know, facebook did the same too.
It's a good thing they are unbanning crypto related advertisement. But sadly, we will be seeing many advertisements that are scam (and at the top results!) that newbies will fall for. Head over to reddit and see how many people got scammed by downloading fake metamask wallet that they saw as top ad when googling metamask.

It's a pretty solid endorsement of Bitcoin to have one of the leading companies of the online world start accepting it. This is almost bigger than if Amazon were to eventually accept Bitcoin (even though they have denied the story so far). The google advertising network has huge reach and will now be allowing cryptocurrency related adverts, that could result in a massive uplift in the exposure that many people will see online. Hopefully they are able to monitor it and protect the end users from being subject to scammers - but that can happen even with fiat currency. Possibly some of the biggest news to come into the cryptocurrency space for a while, if it's true.

Google should have accepted Bitcoin advertising a long time ago because this opportunity is very useful to increase investors around the world. If bitcoin ads are widespread throughout the world and there are more and more investors, then be prepared for a bitcoin price explosion in the next few months.

It was originally allowed, however it was removed a little while ago. I believe the justification of this was; the amount of scams that were being advertised, and they deemed Cryptocurrency high risk. I don't know exactly what has changed for them to change their mind on this, but I would assume its because of the reduction of ICOs which were notoriously known for being scams. 

Good news but isn't this also a bad news because the scammers will be having their moment of taking the advantage of it? AFAIK, before Google banned bitcoin/crypto related ads, there's proliferation of scam ads.

But to solve that, they only need to watch out those applications that would be purchasing their ad spaces and have to catch those suspicious ads and scammers.

This is down to Google. If they don't want scammers advertising on their platform, which was the original intention for removing the advertisements in the first place, then they need to moderate what can or can't be advertised. However, that opens a can of worms in itself. Unfortunately, its a pretty difficult issue to tackle, although I would expect a company like Google with their finances to be able to put together something at least acceptable, even if it was biased. It is their platform, so they define the rules.

I thought the ban was lifted last month? Well anyhow, Google Ads still can't filter ads that are meant to scam people, and they still place those scam ads on prime ad spots which makes it a lot easier for a lot of people to click on it and get their information/money/whatever taken from them. It amazes me how Google complied with FinCEN's regulation re: cryptocurrencies when they themselves continue to just accept payment and display ads that are harmful to those who use their search engine.

Good news for website developers who have cryptocurrency and financial related content. because ads from the crypto segment will definitely be big and competetive. there will also be limits on what crypto ads is allowed. but it's a good start if cyrpocurrency can appear in other people's page. will definitely expand the bitcoin and crypto community.

This is a great news. Not just the website developers alone will benefit but the crypto market too. This will enable more researchers in google to easily access all the topics related to bitcoin and crypto information. As a result, bitcoin will gain more popularity not just in more developed countries but even to those areas who are still in the process of developing. And i think bitcoin adoption will become more attainable if all the people in the world will be educated about bitcoin even through google ads and google's first hand information.

Yeah, that's the sad part.

But hoping that they get to solve this issue as they're already aware of it. Maybe adding some manpower to check those applications and  requirements and measure before one can be granted to advertise.

It's still too early to think of it though but let's see if there's going to be some positive changes after lifting the ban.

Isn't this not new news anymore?
Before Google was indeed a tire related to Cryptocurrency because of the many scams feared advertised on Google.
But a few months ago Google was updating that they allowed Cryptocurrency ads and also did not mind anymore. Of course there are a number of things that are notes for those who want to advertise on Google for the sake of security and avoid scams.

They are ON and OFF to crypto ads due to some scamming site appears. This new opening somewhat gives another chance for the scammer to spread again but I think there is a strong restriction and moderations of what we send. Maybe this time, they can handle the massive volume of scam sites and be able to detect and delete them once got caught or if there is a report.

What happens before will teaches them to be more strict on accepting ads this time. They need to filter every ad to avoid such a thing and I was sure that they are once ready again to face the challenge.

people who are deceived by scammer ads are those who are not vigilant and do not do enough research and want to get a return of money many times over from the capital spent. Google ads help crypto companies to be able to advertise their projects more widely. about the scammer it's just a problem that can be solved. Google won't let scammers easily publish ads. google knows what they have to do. so don't worry.

I have seen many scam sites being advertise on Google ads. One possible reason for this could be that google can't do screening all times throughly as many sites look legit generally.
Anyways this does not mean that google should disable Google ads for crypto completely. We also need to understand that sites which are being showed in Google ads, may not be fully trusted ones.

That's funny how these companies keep changing their mind all the time! Not sure who drives the decision really? Whether it's political changes, companies internal policies or changes as per the world's requirement ?

They should have never banned the crypto ads in the first place because their most of the revenue can come from the Crypto Market only. With the modernisation of transaction system and blockchain development they should have caught the interesting business model with it's revenue model.

In my opinion, if google accepts ads for bitcoin, it is a good sign, currently bitcoin is still unknown to many people and does not understand well. I hope that through google they will help more people know and understand bitcoin better,  attract investment capital and help bitcoin grow further.

This will be huge to make some noise before this 2021 will end. It could bring more awareness and investors as Google is one of the biggest company and internet giant industry. I think more adoption will come soon.

Temporarily distrusting google's additional terms for bitcoin is probably better. I don't want the market sentiment to continue to fluctuate like what facebook or twitter did before with this ecosystem. Many uninformed people will be sent to the slaughterhouse with great manipulation. Google, facebook, twitter it's like Elon's reverse tweets. Lol

I even recall that Facebook banned it as well while Google did it. I am not even surprised that other social media just stop banning these crypto ads, not just Bitcoin. They just keep coming back. I mentioned in this thread previously one example of those fake blockchain sites in Google Ads, and I am not surprised if those keeps popping up still.

In other social media sites, people would just keep using URL shortener and people would still fall for it. I was even mentioned by a fake custodial wallet page that I usually use when I pay my bills claiming that I won their giveaway, but it was all just a phishing site mostly using Weebly hosting service because it is free. Just report those website to whatever hosting site they are using, and not to Google. I recall people saying that Google don't even take action immediately on those people reporting such malicious ads.

On the one hand, the news makes me happy. It also reminded me of the time when ICOs were terrible. Too much fraud I have like 100 shitcoin in MEW that I created with so much excitement to save my tokens from the wonderful projects that I supported at that time. 😕🤦

It is also true that Google does not act fast or does not have the proper means to detect phishing sites.

I would like Google to improve the way of knowing the authenticity of the sites that are advertised in the browser in order to avoid that we run the risk of falling into the hands of scammers.

I am also going to share Google's support related to cryptocurrencies.

With the ban being lifted, i think this will create a huge community for bitcoin enthusiasts as it will be now easier and convenient to access bitcoin and its related information.

And having this giant company, if they can provide more authentic information into their clients, then scamming will be minimized and definitely, being bitcoin educated will make bitcoin adoption more possible.

Lifting the ban on Bitcoin related Ads is welcome. However, in my view Google should set up a check and balance system that will help them to know the type of Ads they will feature as well sensitizing the public especially with the upcoming of financial tools - DeFi, etc. While crypto lovers will prefer some consistency in views held by institutions and Governments, but most times we meet news of divergent views. Personally, I will watch to see how long the lift on the ban will last.

There really is the possibility that Google might retrieve that lift again. That can happen if they see something that is not favorable to them.

But with such that is happening right now to crypto market, more adoptions are there and it is becoming more popular so they do not want to miss that chance of benefiting from it.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought this is old news? Didn't they lift the ban in a first step quite a while ago anyway?

Whatever, all these companies like Tesla, Amazon (even though just a "rumor" at this point) and Google willingly associating themselves more and more with cryptocurrencies clearly shows the direction this market will take in the future. How naive would one have to be to think that these tech companies do NOT have a group of experts solely dedicate to research any kind of cryptocurrency related opportunities? They are all deep diving into it, guaranteed.

The prediction about bitcoin getting banned temporarily only in Google ads is clearly true. We've seen how much the advertisements that are crypto related was restricted by Google and now, they are now allowing it once again. This would surely make a huge impact for bitcoin's value and will encourage other huge companies and organizations in associating their business with cryptocurrencies. Sooner or later, we will see crypto specially bitcoin dominating in all aspects in the world and by that time, those who never stopped believing on it will surely gain much benefit from it as the value rises endlessly.

Although it's good for us that Google will start accepting crypto ads soon I think Google will have to find strong ways to differentiate scams from genuine ads.
Google was being criticized frequently before the ban on crypto ads for displaying ads which lead to scams. Many people lost their money following those ads.
I think it will be of no use if Google doesn't find a way to display only genuine ads because sooner or later the same problem will arise and people will lose money following crypto ads on Google.
If the same thing happens frequently then sooner or later Google will ban crypto ads again.

That's not surprising on behalf of Google because it's a lost opportunity of income for the company, that's why they want to restore it as soon as the authorities will give the green light. On the other hand, Google said that they are just complying with the US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network or (FinCEN) that's why it is not an issue about anti-Bitcoin sentiment but it's only an act of compliance on the company side.

If they can differentiate manually using their staff to analyze who are the people behind the projects, including the data they gathered since the ICO days, they may be able to extract the data of scammers and exclude them automatically when they try to advertise once again. They are good at gathering data, they may even have more data than the ones from exchanges.

It's necessary to have an AI that will thoroughly check the data and confirm scam projects but there will really be a massive adoption because of the regulation that is coming.

That sounds impossible to me. Scammers could just use other ways. Incognito browsers with VPN or so, I don't know, but I doubt Google will have a look at that anyway. All kinds of scammers are advertising their scam products on Google, that is nothing really exclusive to crypto. They all do it and I wonder why they are allowed to do it. Well, because they pay Google for it.

We have to be on the lookout for scam projects to capitalise on this and scam petty traders and plebs. I learnt in 2018 Google banned the ads placements because of ICO/IEO scams I hope they don't prey on us through Defi and NFTs. However this is a reassuring news to investors who prefer to place ads through the tech giant and a boost to wider spread of Bitcoin. Waiting to hear Google now accepts Bitcoin payments.

Good news, but Google has to make sure that they review the company that is trying to put advertisements on their platform, the fact that majority of cryptocurrencies are scams, that should make them aware that the risk is too high for people to get into a scam investment scheme.

Overall it's a good news and I can see its effect on the market.

I have predicted that one day Google will be friendly again with cryptocurrency and it is proven that now Google is accepting cryptocurrency ads again, but the problem is that there are many scammer projects circulating without any prior suspicion, can Google verify each project before the ad submission is accepted?

Every project actually has to get permission from Google and get certified to be able to advertise the project on Google. Google should be able to filter which projects are potentially scams or not before they grant permission and certify those projects. Maybe so far we have seen many incident that Google failed to filter properly so that there were user initiatives to report scam projects that were advertised to be banned by Google. In future it might also be the same if Google doesn't filter it properly.

Nice! For me, it's huge news that a giant company is now accepting cryptocurrency ads because there are so many Google users, and I believe it will be a huge growth for the community if they allow this type of ads. Google is a major platform with billions of users every day; I hope that one day, most people will accept cryptocurrency in their lives.

But one of the disadvantages is some people will try to promote scams but I hope that Google will try to access things if they're legitimate before allowing the ad to go in public.

This is great news. Google started accepting bitcoin ads. As we know in 2018 google banned bitcoin ads because many projects were scam. Now that they are accepting it again, this makes investors even more confident in the future of bitcoin. More and more big companies are accepting bitcoins.

Back in late 2017 and early 2018 we saw an huge surge in numbers of cryptocurrency and altcoins creation due to the bitcoin gaining a huge popularity after reaching the 20k price point, and this lead to the appearance of many scam and frauds related to the use and creation and the use of crypto, and to battle this they banned all crypto related advertisment, and by lifting this ban today there is a fear of the types of scam emerging once again.

As stated on the official site, their google team stated that the regulations regarding the advertising of cryptocurrency products and services, they will only allow the provision of services such as certain regulated cryptocurrency exchange platforms that are allowed to place ads, although now the google team does implement such regulations, but this will greatly help the growth of bitcoin among the community.

He is right that Google has accepted crypto advertising again, where previously Google banned crypto advertising in 2018 and even changed the rules the same year on the same September which allowed crypto exchanges to become licensed advertisers on its platforms such as in the United States and Japan.
this year google again provides an opportunity for crypto companies to advertise on google and must follow several policies that must be obeyed by the company.

It was only natural. Cryptocurrency sector represents a combined valuation of close to $2 trillion, which is around 0.5% of the total global wealth. Do you really think that Google can afford to ignore this sector, especially at a time when their revenues are saturating? I heard from my friends in India that they could notice ads of various Bitcoin exchanges in TV channels. A couple of years ago, this was sort of unthinkable, as the government was planning to impose a blanket ban on cryptocurrency. The message is clear - cryptocurrency is no longer on the fringes and it is mainstream.

Not so great news because scams will be plaguing the ads that are connected/remotely connected to crypto so I am not a fan of this unless they make a really efficient report system that can help the ads be clean as possible so as to give way to legitimate crypto websites and as long as that doesn't happen, I won't be a fan of this stuff.

Great news! Scams were relevant 3 years ago; phishing and scam ICO projects are often seen on search items.
They probably learned how to keep the users safety which could help increasing positive exposure to new investors.

It wasn't just great but I consider this as a helping tool to make spread the word of crypto and the new coming legit projects.
Then I hope we can see huge changes and such scam/fake sites can't be found or it appears on the search button anymore like before. I also hope that they don't just have a big concern about money going in but also the security that they can give back to their thousands of users.

Does anyone know why Google changed their policy?

Is it because Bitcoin and other cryptos are now more accepted by the mainstream community, or is it because they realize that alternative advertising networks are making a lot more money running crypto ads?

Google lifting the ban is a clear sign that bitcoin is entering the mainstream. Though blockchain developers need to come up with blockchain anti-scam applications that will enable the general public to know the difference between real and scam ads.

Google is an application that is widely used to find information so that if Google has served bitcoin ads I'm sure from now on more and more people want to invest in bitcoin.

I've seen there are so many sites that spread scams and take personal advantage on Google with the lure of getting multiple profits.  After Google was directed to their telegram, there was also a medium for discussion with potential victims so that with Google's focus on preventing scams, there would be positive vibes for the crypto market in the future. Moreover, things like that have begun to be found a little, although they still exist if rogue sites keep changing domains.

Its a great news mate. Google is the world biggest company of the world. Google is taking interest in Bitcoin currency. this is a very good news for the bitcoin. Google is accepting bitcoin ads for promotion. In this way, google helps promote bitcoin worldwide. Because google ads are seen worldwide. So, just buy bitcoin and hold it for future.

Good news!! It surely impacts significantly on Bitcoin value and crypto market as a whole. Just look at how good the Bitcoin price move since the early of August. Since people heard that news, they are confident to buy Bitcoin again and even more top companies will consider buying Bitcoin as well. Also, by Google allows Bitcoin or crypto ads, all crypto projects are easy to promote their projects and it may boost the development of those projects. I guess, there will be many new crypto projects anymore starting from this month.

See, there is nothing to worry about bitcoin banning. As investors we need to have strong believe about our investment if not then I think we should not invest in it. I think bitcoin is a part of the nest world advancement. If we easily worry about bad news about bitcoin then it is bad for our mental health. Just believe that bitcoin will be more popular then we can adjust our strategy to gain more profit. I think acceptance is always goes in line with the increasing price of bitcoin. In my opinion it makes people have positive view about bitcoin and adoption will be faster. Bitcoin ads acceptance by google wil also bring good domino effect that will benefit for bitcoin.

I've often seen the ads on google so far, hopefully more often various kinds of Bitcoin ads can be listed on more pages, on google. And hopefully Google still can be sorted out which ones are legit and which ones are not, only allowing trusted ads that are always listed on google, in order to avoid scams or people who are not responsible.

This is great news. This will help more people to know more about BTC in this case, they will no longer go outside to transact and transfer some money to the other. With today's generation that we need to limit ourselves to go outside we need the crypto currency and we also need to invest our money to gain more profits.

Google certainly can't determine which ones are legit and which ones are scams, Google ads are contextual ads so it really depends on the content of the existing page or video, although this is good but we deserve to be wary because scam projects also advertise on Google ads.

That is literally what they're doing, its only big established crypto companies who go through all the verification procedures who'll be allowed to run crypto ads on google. They know they can't allow anyone to run crypto related ads.

Google is just offering a belated repentance, the past is a huge stain on the image of bitcoin, with defamation and negativity, bitcoin seems to be a fallen empire but thankfully, quite a few supporters as well as combined with the media of other platforms to dispel these rumors. These days, the negatives and stains have been erased, what remains are very small specks and shows the envy of a group of people, Google accepts advertising again just to see the profit but this consolation is no longer needed and bitcoin is not shaken by this news.

Google accepts Bitcoin ads this is really great news. We all know that Google is a big platform in the world that everyone must already know. So this can be a golden opportunity for Bitcoin to be known by many people. I hope that the acceptance of botcoin ads on google makes the price of Bitcoin soar, besides that maybe google can also filter out good or bad Bitcoin projects, this will really help us to join a project.

Google is the biggest internet company, if they already accept bitcoin then it is certain that other big companies will accept bitcoin soon, I hope this is for the long term so that it is easier for us to advertise on Google ads.

There are already some big companies to accept Bitcoin. If google supports Bitcoin as well, there will be more top companies to consider it. I really hope that a company like Google also plans to invest in Bitcoin, buying and holding Bitcoin like MicroStrategy or Tesla. This can motivate all top companies to be a part of the Bitcoin industry and to develop it together then. Do you also think it is possible, mate?

We as a crypto community definitely want more and more big companies to accept Bitcoin and invest in Bitcoin. If Google decides to invest in Bitcoin,
I can't imagine there will be such a huge hype and make the price of Bitcoin go up drastically. Because we know Google is one of the big companies
in the world that has a very big influence. So whatever decision Google makes will definitely have a big impact on the world, I believe it will become
a reality where big companies like Google invest in Bitcoin. Because I'm sure Google officials have also been monitoring Bitcoin for a long time,
they still want to see the development of Bitcoin further. If Bitcoin's performance can continue to improve and succeed in attracting more people to
invest in Bitcoin, there is no reason for Google to reject Bitcoin.

In terms of the legality of advertisements, Google is unable to completely distinguish and filter. I generally do not choose any advertisements on the browser. Although it always pops up and makes me annoying, I will not pay attention to these things and will not believe them. Therefore, we should not only rely on others to prevent being deceived. These consciousnesses must be completed by ourselves.

 this maybe the reason why i now see crypto ads on the site im visiting and this sites arent related to crypto .
 this is great because crypto projects can now target a larger audience and not only limited to existing crypto users .
the ban started on 2018 and it took almost 3 years before they finaly approved it again , thats long but the wait can be worth it because crypto is now fully legal in major companies such as google .

Not really,,, I am part of the crypto community and I want to see mass adoption but it usually does not start with big companies I think. After all,,, if there are no users, then there is no reason for big companies to start.

What we need and what we have always is more users using and not just hodling  :) Imagine if big companies know 90% of their customers prefer Bitcoin? Then like it or not they will accept it  8)

Finally Google realizes what they are losing by not accepting Bitcoin ads , they now find the advantage of bitcoin related ads in their platform and how this will take effect for people to use google more often than other browser or services.

good to se this happening and hope worldwide adoption of the same issue will comes next.

Bitcoin must be broadcasted  in all sides of the internet and in all parts of the world.

Bitcoin ads can be seen almost everywhere on the internet nowadays. I do hope the ban lift will  translate into massive awareness and adoption by both the undecided and the skeptics. I also hope they work hard to ensure that they are able to review the ads for scams Because I wouldn’t want to see “tell me your seedphrase” after clicking on an ads. One more thing is that they should extend this to include other cryptocurrencies as well.

It is possible but we don't know if Google really has a serious plan to invest in Bitcoin. Sure, it makes sense if Google already monitored or even learned Bitcoin investment for years because Bitcoin hype is quite big and attracts huge attention of people around the world. Also, since the significant growth of people search everything related to Bitcoin, that stats must attract Google teams. Just wait for the time that they are confident to invest in Bitcoin if most countries legalize its investment already.

Google has gotten the hang of it. I can see ads on YouTube every day. Now no one can stop the pace of the blockchain. It follows the trend of the times and is smart. After the content on the chain is closely integrated with the real economy, the search engine industry will Reinvented.

I don’t know if they are banned on Google...but as these consumers join, we need to improve our self-awareness so as not to be deceived. They should also ban false encrypted news. The number of fake news making FUD is incredible.

for years that they banned Bitcoin ads surely there are lot of things they've missed so now allowing Bitcoin again to advertise in their platform .
You don't know? this happens back years lol .

Thanks that finally realization comes back to  Google regarding what is the goof thing about Bitcoin and what can this give to their platform .
and also this pandemic they see how the searches using their engine about bitcoin and this gives them idea about the needs of people towards this.

what they need to focus is to Hinder their users and promoters from sending scams or fraud because we knew how rampant this happening in all areas of Internet and not only in google.

Google is the number 1 search engine used worldwide and with this Bitcoin will surely be renown once again specially for those who don't have any idea what bitcoin is. It will surely gather large mass of new possible investors in the future and will result for the price to once again spike and those who hodl can benefits to this.

I am still amazed by this post knowing that bitcoin advertisement is now allowed. It is really a good thing for bitcoin. It is a big help to reach everyone who doesnt have any ideas about it. By doing an advertisement, it will bring us more information what bitcoin is and how it is being use by many.

Is it true what you say will happen. If true, I am very happy with this news. Because if it is true that Google accepts ads with bitcoin payments, it will be easier for Bitcoin to increase in price. I can't imagine what will happen to bitcoin in the future if it is accepted by the number one company in the world.

I was not surprised by the news but happy to hear thats, the development of bitcoin from year to year always making unexpected surprises with something big. that's why the existence of bitcoin in big companies like google, tesla, and other companies believe in bitcoin payments as the best investment for their company

This is indeed a great news and is a huge stepping stone not just for Bitcoin but for cryptocurrencies at large. Google ads can significantly help in spreading awareness about cryptocurrency, which could result into people becoming interested about it, then can consequently have positive impacts on its prices. I really hope that this will pave the way to mass adoption.

Google has an in-depth analysis of trends and transaction systems that occur on the internet, and of course they see that the development of crypto has skyrocketed since the last 2 years so that Google has to accept crypto ads so that they also get big profits from advertising.

Googles nows it is modern world and new modern cryptocurrency is introduced. And google ads helps to spread  awareness of Bitcoin. And it is also benificial for google because it helps google to make deals with crypto in future.

this is so great, google is the biggest search engine right now in terms of traffic if this information is correct then this is a good start for BTC as well as many other cryptocurrencies. Overall this is a positive thing that will help more people know about cryptocurrencies and gain exposure to understand more about it. BTC has risen again and I believe by Q4 this year BTC will hit $60k again or more.
