Why is Youtube or Google doing such a thing? What happens if Youtube makes Libra payments, not dollars. They can also pay bitcoins. I don't think it makes sense for Youtube to implement such a ban. They say it's already a mistake.
YouTube already apologize to the public that they made a mistake and they will restore those deleted videos. It is a wrong move of their bots that suddenly deleting some of the crypto related videos. I don't know if it will happen in the future but they should have to consider if the contents is not informative.

They're not specifically cracking down on crypto youtubers, but only high risk influencers that are known to be involved with dubious projects and platforms.
It's just part of Youtube's no crypto advertising policy, which is now being extended to videos that are primarily for marketing crypto projects and altcoins.
The vast majority of removals were just a mistake though: https://decrypt.co/15590/youtube-to-deleted-crypto-video-sites-oops-we-screwed-up

I think they have extended it to Playstore, they just deleted metamask to Playstore, after Youtube and now Metamask, what more rules can Youtube implement against the Cryptocurrency community, they have done this is in the past on Google adwords and it's possible they will again disable adwords that are related to Cryptocurrency.
Maybe youtube are just playing safe here. Since a lot of people are losing money in crypto investments, they want crypto related videos gone so they will not be blamed by the proliferation of crypto-related losses. But I think should not be all videos, they should assess the content. If it is more on informational videos towards crypto, they should not delete.
You are right on YouTube not deleting informational videos on crypto. YouTube has also released a statement that in bid to sanitise it community or those crypto videos that are primarily for fraud, it erroneously wiped some important and informative crypto videos. They have restored normalcy ever since anyway

whatever it is I hope this will not continue in the future, this is like bad news for crypto, when one of the big social media refused to promote crypto, although some people responded wrongly.

Maybe youtube are not allowing people are promoting crypto content for free, because i've still seen many crypto ads on youtube that means youtube are not banning cryptocurrency instead of want people to pay if they want to promote their crypto project which is non sense for me since youtube is free platform for any videos. Seems like discrimination

in that article is clearly stated if scammer is also using youtube and fake reviews (probably comments and likes) to make his video looks legit.
If youtube is censoring it and that sounds better rather than the youtube itself will have a big problem with the regulators caused by youtube is allowing scam promotion through the video that already published on youtube.
Did they made any changes against cryptos in their terms and policies? I can still view videos related to cryptos and trading so they are not entirely screening crypto contents maybe some particular influencers who go against their community terms.
Same here. Bitcoin and cryptocurrency tutorial and educational videos are still available in Youtube. This must be limited to a few channels or influencers only. Perhaps they are violating certain terms or conditions. But this is not a complete ban for sure.
I also noticed this one upon searching some tutorials about crypto trading maybe those videos that violating the terms and conditions are now banning on youtube because we all know theres a lot of people lossing money by investing on scam project.
I am not saying that those channels and Youtube influencers who are banned are scammers. I personally don't think they are scammers. But for sure they are violating some rules. Which rule, I am not sure of. Or it could also be a possibility that Youtube committed an error or slip of judgement in those cases. There are projects that have Youtube videos that are shady but they are there to stay.

I agree with this and i think this is not only for that. I have other reason and i think that to reduce scammer who always share fake airdrop and bounty. Because Youtube is the popular website sharing video with more than millions visitor. 
Now that you mentioned, I noticed some of the videos crypto related was indeed deleted by youtube.
No idea if it's just a random inspection on youtube's part and deleting whoever caught their eyes about crypto advertising, but this one still concerning.
I'm not saying that every one of youtube's crypto related videos is a good one, but I've also seen many of scammed ads on youtube itself.
Well, at least from the article, youtube's team already looking into this matter and we're waiting for another update from them.

Start using the Steemit powered d.tube or other YouTube alternatives.
They're heavy on the censoring side on political topics as well.

I think youtube doing right, since 2018 there are so many videos content related to crypto. Then they are just want to scam the viewer with all promises they have to make sure the investor.
Not only cryptocurrency, forex trading also get blocked by youtube because many people are interest with the ROI from trades, but in reality they are losing their money, so youtube will take care about the content, they won't get blammed about it.
That's why we should be careful on what we watches in YouTube, some might be too good to be true that attracts too many victim. I think it's right for YouTube to remove those who have been reported scam,since YouTube might have reasons why it is deleted. Not only cryptocurrency, forex trading also get blocked by youtube because many people are interest with the ROI from trades, but in reality they are losing their money, so youtube will take care about the content, they won't get blammed about it.
This was quite unfortunate as a lot of these channels were very informative and had many subscribers and it was suggested that only videos that contained material linked to potential offerings were effected, but it seems YouTube is reviewing its decision to disable this type of content and hopefully it will back again soon
This has become a big issue among Youtubers in the Cryptoworld because
they should get those videos back

Quote
According to Bham, who has been uploading crypto-related content to his YouTube page since 2016, a channel hit with a strike such as this may be unable to livestream for up to 90 days, heavily impacting a user’s income.
now they are now voicing out their displeasure because of this although there is a report that it was just a mistake by Youtube they should get those videos back

YouTube? Well, they have always had a fraught relationship and now they have turned worse. And for sure it is not every crypto content on YouTube that’s really bad, there are lots of good videos that can be helpful to people on how to access cryptocurrencies.Based on Twitter and Reddit threads, YouTube suddenly began deleting a number of cryptocurrency videos on Dec. 23.

But, I won’t blame them for going on a crypto videos deleting spree without even checking whether the videos are good or not, there are lots of videos on YouTube that are related to cryptocurrencies and they wouldn’t have the time to go through all to know what they are really all about. There are still videos about cryptocurrency that are still not deleted, maybe they have their reasons for deleting the ones they deleted.

I noticed several update from YouTube and several restricted rules from YouTube. I didn't find any rules against cryptocurrency or I did miss. But I believe this is another restricted rules from beginning, after sometime everything will run and will go smooth for few months just quite down or upload by maintaining rules.

If this is the case, they should remove all adult related material, hate speech, gambling videos and violence as well, if they are so nit picky I understand that there are many crypto scams and after programs like Bitconnect, it is right that some videos should be removed but also there should be some allowance for some crypto items as the crypto market is here to stay and you cannot just ignore a 250 billion dollar financial market. Maybe they should make it like cigarette packets, make every video influencer have a big disclaimer on each video. Let people have a choice to watch or not to watch with the disclaimer.
