Initial coin offerings are all about the hype, that makes it a source of easy money. once people are aware of the new coin they see a chance of investing, once that happens investment rises and people start gaining profits which is why initial coin offerings are popular without that a great purpose in the investment of ico is gone.

i believe they can still find a way to continue advertising their project. This is good because those scam ico can be easily prevented.
Some ads still finding their way to facebook, saw one today (snitch snitch). May be facebook should try to improve the accuracy of its ad-detection algorithms.

Crypto ads is banned in fb to secure users. Amd prevent scam, hacking, theft, misleading and deception. But other say that this is done because MZ wants his own coin.

Yes that's true this is what I observed in the past few days when you are trying to message or post any of the airdrop links or referral links they are flagged as spam and abusive according to facebook. I think they are not accepting promotions from just ordinary facebook user. They want commission and in that case if you want to advertise in facebook you should pay them the fee in advertising.

Facebook bans, but not all ads. My  account is still alive, but i dont post very much there connected with ico. I think Facebook was forced to implement measures because of huge number of scam projects that give ADS there, collect the funds and disappear with the money of investors.

Yes Facebook is banning bitcoin and ICO advertisements. But they are not banning someone using Facebook to post ads promoting ICO so i think bounty programs that uses Facebook are here to stay. On the contrary, there are news that Mark Zuckerberg is planning to create his own cryptocurrency. Hmm what an irony.

Magic is real
I read this news. I think that banning ads on facebook is not very good, but not bad. I do not have advertising, use adblock. Public messages and reports and messages about the crypto currency are not forbidden, so for me personally this news does not bear anything wrong. For bounty hunters, I also see no reason to worry. They do not use paid advertising.

In the end I think this ban will be completely irrelevant for the world of cryptocurrencies. On the other side, I thing that majority of publicity for ICO projects on facebook is probably done by ordinary posts of ordinary people, and there are also so many cryptocurrencies groups on facebook that to speak about a ban is quite ridiculous.

I agree with the others. Facebook is just another platform. And some ICO's are huge scam. I think it will be good for people who are not so into cryptocurrencies.
However it created a FUD for the crypto world too.. Actually anything can create FUD for cyptocurrency world. Soon people will be more aware of this platform

I am curious, are they banning only the paid ads or they are banning users who share posts about cryptocurrencies as well? I see that facebook bounty campaigns keep running, so it should be the former.

Banning adds has nothing to do with campaigns I guess. Because bounties require to write about their project or share their posts and not necessarily putting ads on facebook. maybe I didn't see that part which said no posting of crypto related topics on fb though

This is going to be a serious issue especially for bounty hunters who are into Facebook Campaign and also new projects that needs massive publicity. Anyways the good thing is that there are other social media platforms that could be explored for upcoming ICOs.

Very interesting news today i must admit.. my view is that FB will create a whitelist to take on real non-scam ICO's ... they will realise the huge amount of money that is indeed involved with advertising for ICO"s . I would imagine the larger more stable exchanges and advisories will be first back up on FB in a few months

This fact has been exploited to create negative hype to tank the price of BTC today. I am starting to suspect that this cluster of "bad news" about Bitcoin which is flooding MSM lately could be just a wall street manipulation of the markets trying to tank the price so that they can buy cheap coins.

This ban is definitely part of negative hype. Not sure who creates it, but ICO ads appear on Facebook for over a year, but they decided to react now, when Crypto world is literally attacked by "bad news". It looks very suspicious.

It will not affect ICO's not even one bit but for bounty programs, social media campaigns would only be available to Twitter since Facebook will also ban those promotions on Facebook. Nevertheless, it is only one channel to promote ICO's anyway and here is nothing to worry about. It will also not affect cryptocurrencies as a whole. There are many more sites that have cryptocurrency related adds in them.

Maybe Facebook itself should be banned? It's just a social site that allows people to give up their privacy in the name of "fun". Of course, the narcissistic people like it to show off on, so there's that. Hopefully it will just go away on its own.

If the facebook banning all the ads about the promoting of Cryptocurrency , this will be have a big affection. The facebook are one of the biggest social media and many users that can be found here, so if have many user here there are more people active in this site. The facebook are very important to afs because the facebook has many users

That is a good news in my pont of view , Scam ICO just need to invest to create a website then put ads on facebook and scam people !

Mate, do you really believe that scam appears only in ICO promotions? Wake up.
If Facebook seriously decided to fight the scam, they will have to remove at least 15-20% of all ads and promotions!

This is the start of total control of Bitcoin. Sooner or later, even twitter will follow and other blogging sites. They will regulate the usage and transaction in bitcoin. I am afraid even if block chains and other platforms will be banned. This is a totally crazy move of Facebook. There are millions of Facebook users and it is a good way of advertising ICOs and their products. Surely, bounties will stop Facebook campaign. It will be sad days for the newbies.

Here is this Facebook news post - New Ads Policy: Improving Integrity and Security of Financial Product and Services Ads
What I find interesting: "That said, there are many companies who are advertising binary options, ICOs and cryptocurrencies that are not currently operating in good faith."  
"good faith" - is a definitely serious reason...

Well I think this will greatly affects the popularity of a crypto and even ICOs since facebook is consider to be one of the best way to promotes them. Doing signature campaigns alone does not guarantee that the project will become successful this one reason why social media is needed for advertisement. But somehow what happen to facebook will be a way to prevent promotions of ponzi sites that mislead many people from learning cryptos.

Indeed, Facebook is just one channel. Though it has a huge impact still on advertising and creating awareness to billions of people, I hope that this will be reconsidered and just put some contingency in blocking all the scammers alone.

Facebook is not the only media that can be used to advertise ICO. There are many great social medias open for us to still use like twitter, Reddit, Youtube, Blogs etc. The important part is ICOs can still be advertised and Cryptos will never die.

Facebook is not only the media to advertise cryptocurrency.  Just banning the ads will reduce Facebook profit . There is lots of fan page and groups still there exists . More over this there is lots of good platforms ready to take over Facebook.

They can't ban promotion campaigns. They only ban targeted ads. I guess, they are just scared of regulators.

No, they can ban the content in ads - caption, text in banner or landing page ...

I think Facebook's ban on the promotion of cryptocurrencies and ICOs is because they may themselves have to launch a cryptocurrency or be afraid of being regulated by the government. After all, the legitimacy of the ICO remains to be determined.

Interesting point! It will be so funny to see how Facebook promotes and advertises their own ICO after all. Grin

I'm okay with them blocking advertisements on their platform. If however, the cryptocurrency offers an already established product and doesn't appear as a "Buy now and you'll see 200x returns!" then it may be doing the market a disservice.

Although facebook only one channel, the facebook have a big population. There are more user in this than the other social media. So for me, it has a big impact to the ICO and in the Alternative Coins because if there's no add how will the others know about the alt coins. Yeah there are others mefia like youtube twittrr but we know that the population of user in the facebook was manier than the other social media

Maybe Facebook will only allow THEIR cryptocurrency to be used, so they are banning all competing currency because maybe they cannot handle a level playing field. Perhaps they are afraid of competition?

I think to be advertising, we should avoid the word that facebook ban, use synonyms or misspell a bit. It is a simple cheating, not a long way

1) I am running Facebook Ad Blocker, it is beyond me why most people are not using it.
2) The ads for cryptos  I have seen on facebook while not running adblocker are shady to say the least.

Another Good Reason to delete Facebook. Does Facebook see the crypto space as competition or some thing.  Makes no sense on why they would ban ad revenue?
