Well, fortunately, not much advertisement regarding cryptocurrency depending on youtube channel.
However, it is still unfortunate how people reacting to cryptocurrency, they seems still too afraid to accept this new tech.
Hope people will soon realize the benefits and more open minded.

I don't rely think this should be a concern to the space, most of the ICos that spent so much on Advert are low quality ICOs, good project don't struggle to raise capital in this space, even as we can see people are search for the next best thing even before the team announce their ICOs the private sale is already oversubscribe

What will be next Twittter and Reddit etc?

Youtube channels shouldn't be affected by this nor individual users posting videos about cryptocurrency in general

This bans make me think about a possible future coin made from those companies (Google, Facebook...) I'm pretty sure that they'll launch them in this field soon, the steak is high, only a fool will ignore that

I don't really know how serious this is or how the implementation of the ban will play out, i still see youtubers talk about crypto, and some adverts that are crypto related still show on yiutube.

The advertising ban only applies to paid advertising it does not apply to channels about cryptocurrencies or about people sharing content.
This is good news because now the only ICO's that will get promoted are the ones that have passed the due diligence tests of bounty hunters.

Youtube is really nice for crypto world. reviews and advertorial videos help people who don't like to read whitepapers and project details.
Advertisements are not important at all. reviews are enough for us.

I don't think it will shut down crypto youtube channels only the advertising at the beginning. If their content is about crypto they are only giving their option on the matter. So it's freedom of speech. The same as facebook did it was only for paid advertisement.

Exactly, there is a difference between "promotion" and "talking about thing you are interested in". I think youtube crypto-reviewers will be the last to fall - if they indeed fall, because there cannot be restriction on what to discuss in an open forum. If anyone proves, that some reviewer promotes (instead of reviewing) ICO, then he may also fall under ban. At least that's how I read the situation.

Exactly the point I was looking for. There is surely difference between promotions/advertisements and sharing of knowledge/analysis/predictions. Google plans on banning the advertisements that pop’s out about crypto and ICO’s and also intends to do the same on youtube which usually pops out at the start of a video.

They surely wont ban the channels providing knowledge about crypto currencies and blockchain, it wont be banning of content, it will be banning of advertisements that will occur in start of June.

True. The channel will continue to run, no matter what, cause people can share their views, analysis, predictions and knowledge about particular topic.

Most probably the advertisements that get displayed on youtube with playing a video, etc will get banned as most of the times they promote scam projects and ICO’s and attract people to invest money in them. There is difference between banning of channel with crypto content and banning of crypto advertisements.

I don’t think it says anywhere is the article that the crypto channels on youtube are going to shut down. It says that it will change its policy of advertisements on google pages as well as youtube by june 2018.

So I don’t think this has anything to do with banning of channel that provide predictions and knowledge about crypto currencies. Actions will be taken to ban the ads of cryptos that are scams and ponzi schemes like many ICO’s in order for people to stop investing in them.

Even they ban or trying to stop the progress of crypto, they can't do anything...this is the era of cryptocurrency, no one can stop them. They only want to crush the price of bitcoin so they can buy at the low price.

June new official google ads related to crypto. I've heard facebook forbid ads related to virtual currency but I still see them exist. I think google too.

probably because of this, the market is going down. yes, just my thoughts.
but I'm not too worried, because in my opinion the impact will not be too great. because google forbids advertising for ico that sells its tokens. this to avoid from cheating and potentially a scam.

Cryptos are regarded as a bad thing: this industry is doomed I think: I love cryptos but have to face reality!

That news is very disappointing for me because they will ban that ico's, cryptocurrency exchanges and wallets. So we can't access on our wallet if receive our own token. We can't get our money through many exchanges of the google site. Many users here are working in social medias, specially in facebook. They don't have heart, they don't think that we can get salary here to sustain our daily needs if they banned this all in google. This money can help us financially and lessen the number of unemployement on a country.

Facebook also "banned" it but I still see ads time to time.

I think it's gonna take some time to fully enforce it.

It takes time to enforce new rules and regulations in any social media and channels. The regulations and ban will start implementing in this year by the start of June.

Facebook has taken this action in order to stop promoting the new projects and ICO’s that pop out all the time and amongst which most of them are scams or ponzi schemes.

Because of advertisements, new investors and people that don’t have any knowledge in the field pour in money, that puts the hard earned money of people at stake.

It will be a good reason to forget all the old sites like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and create new sites that will be much better and decentralized. There, they will not be able to influence us and prohibit our favorite crypto currency))
