Topic: Google prohibits advertising crypto and ICO - page 4. (Read 797 times)

Let the government regulate the market and let google and other social media platform filter all the advertisements that are trying to use them for the promotion of a project.

Giving the whole decision that generalizing all crypto ads should ban including the legit ones is disappointing. We all know that they are a big search engine that many are using and how about those newbies that are doing their own research.

They need team to work to review these crypto ads since they can't advertise automatically, there should be a due process and review on which and who will be approved to use their network/engine to advertise.

I think it will not be prohibits advertising crypto and ICO, it will be just regulation

They wont regret since they can anytime revise their decision if they do saw some benefits towards it either on tech application or just purely on having benefits when it comes to taxation.Its not really surprising for them to make such decisions because cryptocurrency do really oppose them since in the very first place.They might consider it but most of the time they would really restrict it and now its already gradually starting. First Facebook ban, next would be Google ban and next twitter ban. then what would be next?

These are precautious measures Google is taking because of the various regulations in different countries regarding crypto. For instance in USA ICO investing/contribution is illegal as far as I know.

Crypto-currencies can not be stopped anyway. I think that all the sites that will prohibit the mention of crypto-currencies will soon die. Many spheres of life will soon pass to blockchain. Those who do not have time to occupy their niche will be left behind. We will find new platforms for ourselves, and Google will eventually buy them)

This ban will provide consumers with only short-term protection against scammers, but it will certainly harm the entire industry, which will meet resistance at every turn.  Google's revenues from ICO advertising last year amounted to $ 25 million. not bad

Following google, Twitter now also ban crypto advertise too.

I think because there's a lot of scammed now a days. But for me what happen is very good for us those CEO out there will be forced to increase the allocation on every campaigns on their bounty because of that what happen it means for all bounty hunters will increase the tokens that they will receive when their bounty ends.

for sure they will now prohibit advertising ICO, and then they will take it and come up with their own super unique platform for ICO.

I think this is an unfair decision .. this situation affects the current market price falling down .. I hope in the next time  there is a profitable solution in eliminating a scam..

I think it is right choice for google. ICO's are often scam. And a lot of stupid people could think that "google is advertising scam project" and it were bad for google's reputation. Now it is more safe.

It's not only Google, I heard today that Twitter about to ban ICOs ads. I believe that we've seen many scam ICOs and social media trying to avoid sponsoring them. As sometimes it's hard to differentiate between legit and scam ICOs, the main question is, does this really got an impact on the market? Personally, I don't think so, there are more channels to advertise than SM.

"Google prohibits crypto advertising and ICO". My question is whether it is official and true if google prohibits crypto ads and ICO.
Furthermore, what happens if crypto ads and ICO are prohibited by google?

Cryptoworld attracts a large number of people. Newbies try to make easy money taking part in ICO.  We all know that most of ICOs are scam, but on many cases it is really hard to recognize that for new investors. And no chance to back money. With this situation really have to do something. I think the ban is a temporary measure until there is a decision on how to regulate ICO and protect investors.

Even if this is possible that google may avoid the crypto and ICO from advertising, it may affect a little bit the crypto market because advertising the crypto and ICO in the google is a good help to promote it but it does'nt mean that crypto will stops. Still it will always continue even google will do that.

Whatever. It won't affect cryptocurrencies market. Google will just loose a fair amount of income from the ads, but it's not my concern.

no, this is not the end of a crypto journey but this is a new beginning of the crypto journey. we have seen many company or institutions or even the government itself banned the crypto but after they realize about what benefits of the crypto for our life, I guess they will regret and they will soon accept the crypto. I think this will not stop the crypto journey to still grows among us and we can see that more people will know about the crypto and they will join in the crypto itself.

So what we will overcome this too. we will see those advertisements on google some day I'm sure.
Regulation s just need to clean the scam coins that's all.

Perhaps this ban from Google will help avoid many frauds. I think investors will be able to find a worthwhile project and without advertising in Google. Perhaps this will make ICO in the future even more popular.

Supporters of crypto currency:
 host Argentina adopted Bitcoin and encouraged innovation through its passive approach. Japan is the most favorable country to crypto-currencies, recognizing them as payment instruments, while at the same time giving them responsibility for taxation. One of the main markets for crypto-currency, South Korea is working on a KYC trading approach and ICO regulation. Currently, the EU is discussing provisions on individual members, but it requires strict rules to prevent the financing of terrorism and money laundering. Russia has taken a weighted approach in developing the regulation of the Crypto-Currency and ICO, limiting the advertising and investments of the ICO. By positioning itself as the center of innovation for Blockchain, Canada is active in taxation. In Italy and Turkey, there are no rules, while France is working on rules and the issue of taxation. Germany considers them legal and taxable, but requires additional licensing. In Indonesia, there are no such rules, but there is a prohibition for companies of fintech to use crypto-currencies for transactions. Mexico adopted a bill on crypto-currencies and treats them as goods that are taxed, and exchanges are under the supervision of the central bank. Saudi Arabia takes a relaxed approach, working on its regulation, but the ban is unlikely. So far, South Africa has no regulation, but is currently planning it. Australia does not have such specific rules, but it certainly focuses on greater transparency through AML. Although India has declared crypto currency as illegal, the country is waiting for a world-wide approach in order to make a measured decision. Until recently, the UK was waiting, but recently spoke about it positively, working to protect consumers.
 Opponents:
 Brazil has banned investments in crypto currency and is working on a broader approach to regulation. China took the most severe step by banning ICO and trading in crypto-currencies. Although the US does not stand in opposition, they have banned the ICO by requiring the licensing of crypto-exchange services and exchanges, and they also conduct checks to verify their compliance with the illegal action and money laundering regulations. What can be the result? In fact, most countries tend to regulate crypto-currencies, protecting the interests of consumers, through AML and KYC. It is quite possible that regulation will be in place of a direct ban, although ICOs may fall under more stringent rules ....
