Google's original restrictions, which it announced in March and rolled out in June, were intended to protect consumers and included initial coin offerings (ICOs), wallets and trading advice, which are still not allowed.

Why would they not allow wallets to advertise themselves on Google? I can definitely understand a total ban on ICOs, but I don't quite understand the ban on wallets.
Sure, there are probably a number of malicious wallets, but that's the case for any software.

I'm also curious wether they allow other crypto related services to advertise? ICOs, wallets and trading advice aren't the one crypto-related services on offer.

why would a wallet want to spend money advertising itself? do you see Bitcoin Core, Electrum, Armory, Multi Bit, GreenAddress, Bitaddress.org, ... advertise on google?!!! that doesn't even make sense.

so advertising a wallet has an incentive in it. they are either some custodial service like coinbase that need advertising (which means they are not a wallet) or they are scammers trying to spread some malware and earn money that way.

Oh, the bad news is, they would only allow regulated/verified exchanges to use their add platform. Meaning - You want to advertise your crypto platform through google? Get your shit verified. I'm sure twitter, facebook, medium soon will follow the same. In the conclusion, fuck decentralisation and let the government regulate everything related to crypto.
I say that's a good news. Tired of seeing those ICO ads on my browser and even social media feeds. With that rule at least ICO won't be allowed on Google ads. Can't blame them though because ICO's negative effect for the public is as bad as its effect for crypto. If you want to be fully free of regulation then don't use Google, heck don't use the current internet system. Use tor or something like what Namecoin is doing.

I was shelled by crypto advertisements as regularly as before the boycott, perhaps it is on the grounds that it is too simple to sidestep these bans on promotions and furthermore difficult to control them by google.

Google is one of the world's biggest companies and its decision is reasonable.
They can't allow ads for irregular exchanges which may affect their reputation when those exchanges appear to be a scam.
There will be no way to prosecute those exchanges and people will start blaming Google for that.
Any respectful company won't accept that.
isn't Google already planning to revoke the ban and will allow crypto currency ads on their website? this news must be updated, or it may be deleted by the moderator

I think that's the right thing. People can be harmed by misleading ads. At least the advertisers are the right people. In particular, a unit for those with SCAM in ICOs can be used to prevent advertising.

I also think that such news is good news. All goes to good! Even if Google has banned advertising cryptocurrency for regulatory purposes, then this is better than banning the use of cryptocurrency.

I think this is really not bad especially if the ICO has served all the necessary requirements, also it would be a great help for investors in choosing good project. Getting verified will ensure that the project is legit and not a scam. I really think sooner other social media platform will adopt the same policy.

This news is a welcome one as this measure will serve two purpose and sustain the cryptocurrency space. It is now possible for ICO advertisement to be in google but the project must be verified. This verification will help to sieve out scam project thereby cleaning up the system and only credible projects will esee the light of day. The second problem that this will help resolve is widening the adoption of bitcoin as more people will be drawn into the crypto currency business and usage will also increase.

Being picky about the ads is still better than nothing. Their total ban imposed months ago was stupid and unfair. It was them saying they agree with Gates that cryptocurrencies are a bubble and they need to protect people from these scams. How can a company that employs so many smart people be this ignorant?

Understating the value that these advertisement platforms brings to the crypto space will be shying away from the truth because they have proven to be a potent platform in which new funds come to the crypto space and getting the popularity to new grounds and it will not be out of place to conclude that the ban from all of these platforms have contributed in their own little ways to the downward trend that we have witnessed since the beginning the ban has cut across several social media platforms.

The issue of verification that can be avoided and to me, its meeting people at the middle. There was a time every advertisement concerning crypto I see on Facebook or Google by default have scam written all over it but if the ban could reduce that then its working and now they want to open it up , then it should be supported or else we stick to the status quo and be expecting miracle to happen without the massive people not coming into the market. Its actually the greedy people that have put the conglomerates in position of strength in determining what would happen in the crypto market.

Google is quite wise with crypto, so this will have a positive impact and will increase investor confidence in the development of crypto on Google.
One of these media is enough to give crypto a better space to move and this is a good start, this is an extraordinary support.

Yes, but this only applies to approved popular exchange platforms. This doesn't mean anyone can publish cryptocurrency ads on AdWords.

Are you upset that advertising has become centralized? And Google prohibits the advertisement of ICO? Look around, manipulation and control are absolutely all around. Today there are already a lot of garbage coins that do not have the right to exist. In fact it was a hoax. Exchange of Fiat or cryptocurrency money for unknown tokens (ABC& CDA etc). The numbers in the Ethereum wallet or personal account on some new website, which may not be worth anything. All this deception of people.
I'm not saying that ICO does not benefit, I'm saying that serious companies collect the necessary amount on pre-sale or on a closed sale.

I read that article and the conclusion is google will manage crypto ads, and there is no word who said regulate the system that is on cryptocurrency. And I guess it was good news for cryptocurrency industry, as what someone said before, that way can reduce fraud or even eradicate it. This method is very important because it will have a positive impact on new users or investors.

the only thing that this will do is to prevent scams like ICOs to be able to use google ads to find their victims otherwise it will do nothing to reduce them. they will continue to happen for as long as there are newbies who are willing to participate in their scams. and this has been going on for a long time, even before the ICOs were created and started using Google ads to promote their crap.

Google's policy of selecting crypto ads is a good step, so this will be a learning for crypto ads that like to cheat.
With Google's policy, it will certainly work better and be able to become a quality container, Google also wants something good for its development.

how is it a bad news?
have you forgotten what has been advertised on google before they banned it? let me help your memory: lots of scams including ICO scams, shitcoins, scam websites, malware stealing your private keys, shady businesses doing illegal activities,...
if you have a legit business ("crypto platform") you wouldn't mind verifying it properly. it is only scammers who will be screwed.

Well, maybe google want to advertise only the real project, not scam project, that's why they need to use regulated/verified exchanges.
Actually with this, maybe we can invest on some projects without afraid it will become scam project. Anyway, let see how it goes in the future.
