Google keyboard with bitcoin symbol and ethereum

[vanya.pronin.1983]

They are just trolling Buterin. But in any case it is a great sign that such a huge company as google is adding a crypto sign to their keyboards. I hope this is a small signal and maybe a small step towards the mass adoption.

I think this is a good sign for Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency in general. And about the tweet, I think someone from the users decided to make a joke on Vitalik like this and created a fake screenshot

Of course this is very good news and a sign that Crypto is developing in the future. Last year there was a problem about banning advertisements on Google and in my opinion it was a big loss, but now it's back to work together even though only the Cryptocurrency Icon looks small but it's a big pride.

I would not take this answer very negatively. Google simply says what it sees at the moment, when the issues with the regulation of cryptocurrencies are not yet resolved. But when this issues will be finally resolved, I am sure that symbol of the ethereum and other popular altcoins will also be added to the keyboard.

You got my favourite word there, "pride" for cryptocurrency. With this , cryptocurrency, most especially bitcoin, will gain more acceptance. I have come across some stores that are already accepting bitcoin.
This might also be among the reasons why bitcoin is gradually going uptrend in the market.

Google’s answer is epic. I guess if Google accept the request to add ETH, developers of other altcoins will start to bug google as well.

Anyway, I can’t find the symbol in my IOS device, do I need to install this?

[supine]

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

That's just a sign that cryptocurrency is being known and adapted around that globe which is an advantage for us users. It would be a big help in the economic growth and the development of cryptocurrency. It only reflects that bitcoin is reaching every corner of the world through its popularity.

[belli4388]

in fact is a great contradiction on the one hand google is against the crypto currencies and on the other hand integrates in its virtual keyboards the symbol of bitcoin, to me it can only  good to know but google loses credibility

[kakawin]

This indirectly suggests that Google supports cryptocurrency. It is interesting. I do not think that Google has done this for the sake of popularity among crypto enthusiasts.

[moonblocks]

This is rather amusing and perhaps google will come around in a few years time when cryptocurrency adoption has grown further and Ethereum has become a more widely recognized technology if nothing can actually manage to supersede it and add it's logo to the keyboard as well

[shakesbear]

I hope Vitalik can prove to Google that it was wrong. But I'm wondering what icon can be used in the keyboard to ETH ?

[skiorf]

Maybe they are thinking that coins other than bitcoin is not so much worth, I think the reason would be because the altcoins always entailing bitcoin.
The altcoins seems can't live without the existence of bitcoin, that is what i think about google's decission.

[deodivine1]

When I saw this, I laughed real hard. vitalik wants Google to consider adding the ETH symbol to their keyboard and they bounced. Well, I believe with time they might give it a thought but the ETH stuff is actually long compared to the bitcoin symbol.

[letyouearn]

Don't think they should add anything else now either. Bitcoin is very popular - as a word, as a symbol. Other cryptocurrencies - are not. Maybe if ethereum popularity will rich such a state in future this subject will be discussible.

[minttop]

WOW, it is perfect news. I would appreciate to create ethereum symbol, because I rerely use bitcoin and always use ethereum in my transactions.
Hope one day this feature to be implemented

[UnDerDoG81]

Perhaps the operator of Google's Twitter account has lost money when investing in Bitcoin or ETH last year 

[Olalomi]

Google must have done their research thoroughly before adopting bitcoin symbol on their keyboard, its quite obvious that bitcoin popularity outweighs that of ethereum in many folds and for ETH to catch up their team need to work harder, google endorsing btc had really shown that btc has come to stay.

[jrrsparkles]

As far as I know there is no such kind of update in my device?

It is available in all the countires or in specific or even this news is legit?

I don't even know any third party apps giving that symbol in android and IOS but in future we will have this feature even in basic mobiles.

[dabenko]

The update will be gradually extend to other devices with time.
Very soon, we might see Microsoft coming to also announce that they have alsdo integrated it into their system.
Then gradually, government might also come to announce their readiness to approve cryptocurrency, particularly bitcoin.

And google says they only believe in bitcoin legality, but actually bitcoin is not legal yet in some countries.
ETH and bitcoin is the top cryptocurrency, i wonder why they don't believe ETH will be viable for long term.
