Hi All,

I have lots of keywords that apparently Google is going to take action against at some point, from what I read online.  However, as of now, this screenshot shows impressions/clicks of an ad that I created yesterday for my organization:

So they've not banned bitcoin as being a valid search keyword as of yet anyway.  I don't think they will when push comes to shove.  Also, "cryptomoney" is on the list.

I'd take more screenshots from other ads but it's been a long day.

Once again, another reason that Google has way too much power and control and needs to be obsoleted by decentralized ad platforms, decentralized video platforms, and decentralized search.

All of the gatekeepers must be dismantled.

Imagine the world that will be.

Best regards,
Ben

Here's what Google said:

My first comment is that there's never been any BTC advertisement. Who would pay for it? The BTC's foundation? This board's webmaster? As there's no corporation, nor an individual owning BTC, there can't be any kind of advertising. The only ads I've ever seen were for lousy ICOs, shitcoins, trading and exchanges websites where you can make a deposit but not a withdrawal, trading consultants who screw you with the promise to show you how not to get screwed, and super safe crypto-wallets where your private keys are automatically sent to a smart angel in East Russia. Google wants to ban all that? I say thanks Google!

Google want to ban cryptocurrency advertise like ICO's, but not bitcoin.
They decide to ban this kind of ads because there are so many ICO's that scammed the contributors.

I kinda have a question, what about the issue of search engine? I learnt that they will disable search engine  for Crypto related searching, in a way that when one is trying to make a research on anything related to Crypto the search engine won't work for such individuals

[amih]

I feel from some news that spreading banning issues in terms of promoting bitcoin is a form of intimidation from certain circles who do not want bitcoin to be a high value asset. Because until now from what I observed that there is no form of ban from internet sites which is currently a way for promotional purposes.

Gatekeepers.  Search engines are gatekeepers like the rest.  Same as YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, etc.  They show you what they want and hide what they choose.  In this way, they are no different from the information sources that came before them, television, radio, newspapers, etc.

Decentralization of all of the platforms is the way to ensure that there is no point of censorship/control.  Content that is illegal can be community moderated without a central authority.  Lots of decentralized platforms for video, search, social networking, microblogging, etc. are around.  Some of them are pretty good.

Most of them are still "federated" though, as compared to truly decentralized where nodes can hop on and off of the platforms dynamically.  So that's some work that needs to be done.  The other issue I see is a way to monetize it.  Both for the users that contribute content as well as for maintenance of the service, software, etc.  A decentralized platform spreads the cost out through many nodes all operating and constituting the network.  However, you have a user adoption problem if you can't afford to bootstrap the platform to sufficient size that it is a viable competitor to the current platforms.  The software will be open source but there are still costs of ensuring that great people are advancing, testing, auditing, maintaining the code.

I do a lot of thinking about this, have a bunch of ideas on how to advance it.  I look forward to cracking that nut.

The biggest accomplishment, quite possibly in world history, is devising a means to remove the power from the bankers.  Bitcoin has done that.  Everything else will follow.  Eventually, governments themselves will not exist in their present form.  This will not happen quickly, unfortunately.  But it's my goal to make it happen as quickly as possible.  Decentralizing everything (well, there's probably exceptions either with practicality or utility, so I'll just say decentralizing everything in the aggregate) is the way forward for humanity.

Best regards,
Ben

why google banned advertising about bitcoin?  because I think google will get a lot of benefits because of advertising payments that will enter from cryptocurrency

[Jet Cash]

As has been pointed out, there is no Bitcoin advertising, but there is advertising about Bitcoin related services, and Bitcoin clones. Many of these have become scams, and this is why Google has had to act. There have been suicides as a result of the gullible losing money that they hadn't got.

Bitcoin Talk has introduced the merit system for much the same reasons, but nobody is saying that Bitcoin Talk is banning Bitcoin.

Do you have a link to prove that?
The search engine and the advertising services are very different things.

[Cactushrt]

Lol i have read so much fud on telegram and twitter that google ban bitcoin advertising just to make those weak hands sell their bitcoins.

[ss890]

Whatever it still makes bitcoin price dump so bad LoL

Oh come on man I don't think that Google baning news has got to do anything with the current drop. Why would people get scare because of such news and start dropping the bitcoin holdings. I'm sure that bitcoin drop is because of all other bad news and dumps that are in progress right now. One fud created another fud and thats what making bad reputation of the bitcoin amomgst new investors and the drop!

Google is just clean cheat and they have got nothing to do with the bitcoin. What they need is clean projects and clean platform that they have so far.

Under Google’s newly updated financial products policy, no advertisements for “cryptocurrencies and related content (including but not limited to initial coin offerings, cryptocurrency exchanges, cryptocurrency wallets, and cryptocurrency trading advice),” will be accepted.

The move affects all of Google's ad products, meaning companies will not be able to serve crypto-related ads on the search engine giant’s own sites, as well as third-party sites in its network.

The fear is real.  Guarantee that their large bank customers have pushed this agenda.  We need to obsolete them (both the banks, of course, as well as Google).  People often focus on Google's dominance in search, which is true, but they also dominate advertising.  Through Google and YouTube combined, Alphabet dominates too large of the flow of information in general.

This is the bad news make BTC down price

[coinstalker23]

I've seen many article that tackled the issue on banning the ICO advertisements in their social media site like facebook,instagram and google but I dont see they are banning bitcoin in their advertisement. Those people who are making articles who says that bitcoin advertisements in google will be banned for their false news. Google and facebook are just stopping and making awareness on the rapidly increasing Scam/fraud ICO that is being advertised in many social media sites.

[DesmondHayes]

Yes you are right. In my mind, it is good news for all of us to ban these advertisements that have been held to deceive people, but I don't understand that the price drop is related to google ads. Because, these news can't take affect in cryptocurrencies, in any case, everything will be good for 1 week.

The price dump is actually not affected by the google bans. It is affected by the whale's purpose dumping of the BTC.

They are using this to their own advantage when they are rebuying the same coin for a lower price.

Google had some small influence on the market but it isn't actually a part of the cryptomarket so it cannot lower the whole market just like that. If they are actually trying to protect their users then I must actually congratulate them for their good move.

[svendoto23]

I dont think google will gonna ban bitcoin because of the increasing number of ICO that are subjected to scam and fraud people in their advertisement. And the people itself will be the one who's gonna decide for themselves if they are gonna be trapped by this kind of ICO. They will just ban or limit the ICO ads that been on their site and Google has vast file and sites just to stop advertisement scam.

[rubyross]

Well thats good news. And i totally agree with you that there are no person or no one who advertise bitcoins since no one is controlling it

[phuocth.tp]

I think that google will not ban the Bitcoin but Google may be ban cryptocurrencies related websites advertising. They can be ICOs, gambling websites, exchanges, Lending websites, etc.

[joey87]

Maybe GOOGLE is inventing coins by itself.
