I don't think it will effecting the price anyhow but maybe in the long run as by increasing the public awareness

[pereira4]

Bitcoin needs no one buy people wanting to be miners and transactions happening, this is the pillar of BTC and this has been happening for years now without Google.

Bitcoin doesn't "need" anything, however there are things that without a doubt 'help' bitcoin.

Will this make an impact to the current bitcoin price?

No.. If it does, then why is the Bitcoin price still on the resistance level?

[networthsigns]

Yes Google will be awesome and it would be great if i could pay for my google card with bitcoin

[keyscore44]

Not really, google can help spread the word but that's about it as far as I'm concerned.

No, Bitcoin doesn't need Google. Google is the opposite of the ideas behind Bitcoin.

Google wants to create a monopoly, control everything. They are completely centralized, abusing privacy, and cooperate with everyone who guarantees more profit, no matter if it's some shady secret service agency or totalitarian regime.

The only reason they are so widely used is because their products are user friendly and free, and people are too ignorant to see the danger that will come when they feed them with their data.

True. Bitcoin can stand alone without Google, but once Google integrated bitcoin, we can assume that they can and may control bitcoin given the power that they have over the internet and the tech world.

It's a given fact that Google can help bitcoin gain publicity over the internet and to the digital world, but the strings stop in there. Bitcoin doesn't need Google that much, and through the span of years, the bitcoin community proved strong without the acknowledgement or integration of other third-party sites or services.
