Google keyboard with bitcoin symbol and ethereum

[IVEXO]

this was a funny find where Google twitter handle says they don't believe in legality or long term viability of the altcoins such as ETH

I tried to find the link and probably track it but it seems I was late to the party lol
Google seem to cause little fud on etherum, but it has no effect
Just another up spring in price

If that's true, that's cool. If other large companies begin to introduce such a thing, the cryptocurrency will rapidly begin to grow in price.

I think the google only wants to clarify the fact on this.
Let say they add now the BITCOIN symbol on the keyboard. as we all know that BTC is the number of all.
If Google will let the request to happen on the side of ETHEREUM, i think there are so many coins and tokens to come and have their request.
Google just made a statement for the future answer of all query!

Google did not determine the authenticity or legality and longevity of bitcoin and neither can they determine that if ethereum
So for them to have chosen the symbol of bitcoin for those reasons, it is also possible that the same is done for ethereum.

Funny story. I heard that Google so reacted to a request to add an Ethereum icon, because when that Vitaly refused Google and therefore Google now takes offense at it.

The hype about cryptocurrency and Bitcoin is too echoing. Of course, Google as a company that has a broad view of technology, does not want to miss. And google keyboard developers might have Bitcoin, so they thought of making that button.

[leonair]

It seems to me that Google started to recognize Bitcoin only and doesn't want to entertain Ethereum, at least they reply to Vitalik Buterin with his tweets and they are straight forward though.

I think this is an another milestone for Bitcoin because as I searched the meaning of 'viable' it means "capable of working successfully; feasible" so maybe this is an implication that Google will use Bitcoin as a payment platform.

As we know google is a giant company that every people used, they will have a really high standard for any update of their applications, that way it would be really hard to have them implement something that they still not fully acknowledge.

Everything is possible, all we need is the matter of time. For me, it will add to the deepest special character section using ALT+multiple number keypad on the left of the keyboard. It will be cool but most of us will ignore it on this time.

It might be because in their mind other coins than bitcoin still not able to be trusted even how good the coin is, and perhaps behind the reason is the price of bitcoin compared to the altcoins, those got separated to much.

I read this at Telegram & Reddit. Unfortunately went I try to type with my own Mobile Keyboard only show up the symbol of FIAT Currency. Some user said its only available only on IOS it's that true?

Yes it's true, it's only available on Google keyboard on IOS, kind of strange that their own android doesn't have it.

An interesting tweet. Is there a need for such characters on the keyboard? Do many people use them? After all, cryptocurrencies still have not found mass application.

[Amalker]

I don't see this tweet, seems to be it is another FUD on ETH. Also on my device I can't find BTC symbol, maybe it will appear in next update. But I am sure, that such small steps from a huge corporations will lead all crypto to mass adoption, just need more time.

[zero714309]

I know this news in telegram group. Someone share article but it just used for IOS. I remember google even ban ICO ads and now google more open mind about Crypto. I think this one also one of reason why btc going up. Maybe now google only used BTC icon but no one know if in the future they will also added other altcoins. Vitalik already mention ETH and i think google will save it or make another research about altcoins soon.

[Red-Apple]

this is most probably fake, but a good one at that.

Vitalik is so desperate to get his shitcoin pumped but he wouldn't do it this obviously. and the worst part is that ETH doesn't even have a "symbol" so there is nothing to add even if they wanted to do it.

bitcoin is a currency and does have a symbol and it is not just a proposed one, it is a legitimate ISO standard symbol with unicode encoding.

[dobolspeed3]

With this, Google as such shows that they definitely support crypto. Because by reason of symbols that are on the keyboard, of course, Google is very good at responding to the development of the crypto world. Therefore Google makes the symbol.

I think this is move of market makers to reduce the price of ETH to buy it cheaper. In 2019, ETH has a lot of big updates and I am sure that the price will be very high.

[Slavyanskiy]

Vitaly is a good fellow, he is developing the project, and he is doing everything to improve ethereum. No wonder this coin is in second place, may be someday, it will take the first place. Lets wait and will see.

[rijaljun]

Is it available on android? I tried once and it doesn't have bitcoin symbol on my android device. But, it's available on apple device. Anyway, the answer from google is right, google only need to put bitcoin symbol. If ethereum also be put on the keyboard, means every coin could ask to google to put their symbol. It will bother google.

Its a good start though. Google and others should try their best to contribute to Blockchain technology more. Its a good start but need to enhance all features.
