Google to Ban Cryptocurrency Ads
 

Google is reportedly banning cryptocurrency ads beginning in June. The company states that they will no longer run ads for what they characterize as 'unregulated or speculative financial products'. The site is looking to get rid of all traces of crypto ads including binary options, foreign exchange markets, and contracts for difference (CFDs) as well as initial coin offerings (ICOs).

The ban will exclude ads from appearing alongside search results, including YouTube and other third-party sites. Facebook recently implemented a similar ban which they said misled many of its users.

Christine Lagarde of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) stated, "The rapid growth of crypto-assets, the extreme volatility in their traded prices, and their ill-defined connections to the traditional financial world could easily create new vulnerabilities."

The move to ban cryptocurrency ads won't have much if any, detrimental impact on Google's $95.4 billion ad business.

So cryptocurrencies are being relegated to the same space as adult, but I just one little step above. New World Order SmackDown!

The elite is getting nervous and rightfully so, their financial slave prison ran by their central banks is threatened

Those IMF motherfuckers :321GFY ...

Drives me sick, people are just blindly installing Chrome , creating gmail accounts, etc not understanding that they are giving Google the total control about what they can or cannot see.

a multi year bear market is coming IMO...

^^^ Truth!

Very true

Yes, fuck, nervous .
they have been very nervous since people started to pay for gasoline a bitcoins

grow up and stop being pathetic.

Well most of ico's are scam so...

I agree, if you're referring to equities.

I was expecting this but there was also a scenario that they launch their own coin.

to many scammers buying ads. I recall seeing ads for Bitconnect, Davor coin and other scam ICOs. To many want to jump in and get rich without doing the research

equities are definitely going to a multi year bear...but it can go both ways for crypto...there is certainly a scenario where people flock to crypto...

the problem is most alts have almost bled to death...if you look at the sub top 10 coins most are down 70-90% since the peak in early january...now that their marketing is getting fucked I do not see how they will go anywhere but down...this in turn will cause demand for BTC to tank because it was a gateway from fiat to crypto...ETH will go down as well because it relied to much on alt volume/ICO-s etc...so will the other "platform" coins...

the flow of new capital in to crypto has been severely diminished by this move from google...it is certainly not the end of crypto but it is not looking bullish at all at the moment...

Hope yall cashed out at the right time!

They are treating crypto like Silk Road

Control.

Of the narrative.

And these clueless people are giving permission to Google to see and track their personal browsing habits, search queries, email content, geolocation, people in their social group, etc. With Android, Google knows where you are at all times and who you're interacting with. With Home, Google is always listening.
