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.

Bitcoin don't need Google and never will .
Google integrating Bitcoin is going to attract people for sure but we can also say bye bye for "Decentralized" word. so RIP privacy

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.

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.

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?

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

Did they launched it already?
Well, Google is a reputable company. That app will surely make an impact on Bitcoin value for sure.

The scary thing is, Google has enough money to buy insanel amounts of mining power and all of the Bitcoins on sale, if they wanted to attack it..
But would it be worth it? Anyone with money can potentially attack it, example NSA or governments but the benefits they may gain from attacking it is very small, they need a lot of ASICs, space and electricity to attack it. Isn't logical since if Bitcoin dies, the ASICs they have would also be potentially useless.

Google being one of the top search engine that people usually visit, Bitcoin would likely to gain more recognition. Having more recognition would allow more people to know about Bitcoin and thus adopting it.

yes and they both need each and beneficial in my opinion Smiley

I find it interesting that originally all of the large businesses and companies blacklisted Bitcoin, and now they are coming around to supporting it.

First they ignore you, then they fight you, then you win.  Smiley

Yes, bitcoin really need Google .)
Right now, when price of bitcoin falling every day, and no so many ''big'' merchants accepted bitcoin, we really need to advertise bitcoin as much as we can.
We still didn't make breakthrough with bitcoin and people still see bitcoin as investment, not as new, revolutionary, decentralized and bank free currency, ideal for online payments.
We have to change this wrong concept of BTC and Google can help in this process.
