Google too closing crypto ads

[Rudementry]

I have a twofold attitude. On the one hand, it is probably correct to ban advertising ICO. On the other hand, every country has freedom of speech. And the person himself must decide to invest in ICO or not to invest. Prohibitions can only further warm up interest. Because the forbidden fruit is sweet.

Is this true?

Once Google shuts the door on crypto ads related to ICOs, then it will be much more difficult for teams to create awareness for their ICO.

The marketing teams behind serious ICO projects will have to come up with creative and effective new strategies that have never been used to create awareness to prospective investors.

On the plus side, shitty projects will have to work thrice as hard and spend resources to reach prospective investors.

Google ads are not the only way to promote a cryptocurrency ICO.  There are many more effective methods such as bounty campaigns or even buying advertisement ads directly on the websites of your choice.  Google ads are overrated and I don't think I have ever clicked on a crypto related ad before.

If it is true then they are really narrowing the space for ICO's.
We will all have to deal with KYC's and our information will be leaked to the governments.
This way they can now make taxes for those who make profits with just buying and selling.
They are hitting heavy fires to crypto investors, they should also be careful if it all goes back to them.

I guess only those who accepts the KYC agreement can do business with Google.

Following the lead of Facebook, Google found suspending accounts, funds relating to ICO.
Google's adword platfrom was one of the prime choice of ICO and now it's getting ever more difficult for Project to get places to advertise.

The day seems not far facebook and twitter blocking the post links related to ICO.

Can you show us the official link to the official announcement of google that they will block CO related ads on google adwords? I do not think that they will do it and if they done then they will sooner open it again. You can notice that on facebook we are seeing ads again and it means that facebook cannot live without advertising crypto related ads.

I have also noticed many Crypto related ads when SEC at their meeting announced that any organization while regulating crypto do not harm crypto. I think it is because of that facebook then again start to advertise crypto related ads.

As I understood from the article Google just limited crypto ads but didn't ban them all. They will not refuse from such profitable sphere.

If this is truly going to happen then I would not be surprised to see ICOs being advertised on huge bill boards (if that is already not happening).

I don't think this is accurate information. Google will not ignore a large profits from cryptocurrency, especially it is hot in the current. not long ago, I read an article talking about banning ICO advertising on  facebook but currently I have not seen any official information. Google does not assume any responsibility for you on theirs ICOS advertising so they do not lose anything about it

Well that's great now I won't see shit scam (coins) every time on google nice job google

[boyjackyou]

It could be a good thing,less scammy ICOs will be advertise that means they wont have any chance to scam newbies and careless investors,it will be a good move if this news is true,google and facebook wont allow these scam potentials to be advertise and get those money from these noob investors,sometimes it needs to have some regulations for the betterment of the future.

[spiker777]

I don't think they're blanket removing all ICO adds, just the ones that have suspicious motives.

Either way, most ICOs are advertised well enough here on the forum, and the various ICO websites. I don't think Google is a deal-breaker or industry killer if they do outright ban ICO ads.

I think this is another news that no proof google is number one platform that we can use to find what we need to find mostly in the cryptocurrencies and other things. So I think google not do that because this day some people rely to Google if they need some research.

I believe banning ICO ads via Google is not viable as of the moment. There are no solid grounds as to why Google would ban ICO’s since there are still many legit ones. Suspension is possible due to regulations. Banning is also possible for certain groups that may have done fraudulent acts or did not follow certain rules. But banning the entirety of ICO is just not realistic in my mind. This may only be another strategy of underground societies to manipulate the crypto market for their advantage. Something that has been done over and over...

[junjunsalsalani]

It will lessen the scammy ICOs in our environment,i totally agree these ads should be banned totally,so that these scam ICOs wont have chance to get those new investors money.Facebook and Google should protect most of their users and allow only those ICOs which are verified and legit so that there will be less scam ICOs around.

[wagi]

How possible could this be. I do not think google will follow suit with facebook or twitter to block ICO projects ad. This is the major platform used for advertisements by most of these projects. I feel this night be FUD and to cause another panic i the crypto space. Until i come across other sources, then i will believe and confirm it is true. Moreover, i have not seen any ad. blocked of recent.

I dont think this is FUD again because there is trusted source of the news above.
This is really bad, such very credible company like google try to against cryptocurrency. So what will happen? I can not think again.

I agree. I think they still have other options to spread awareness if they are really serious with their project. As for scam projects, they need to think a million times to spread their scam ideas around since they will need to spend money in marketing strat to let people see their existence.

It could not be otherwise, people are crazy about icos and show no knowledge nor desire to build up their knowledge so they get scammed all the time. But that should change eventually. Too bad.

I agree. But ico can help also to avoid scammer. They crazy because they dont know maybe how to get this to make sucessful

[MarEric]

I think it's really possible if Google decides to start its own cryptocurrency

[bojokusugih]

Google too closing crypto ads? I think no longer for now, if all social media or google banned all advertisements about crypto then want where else crypto advertise and this will obviously reduce crypto users around the world.
