Story - Crypto Prices Fall On Google Ban News
https://www.bloomberg.com/amp/news/articles/2018-03-14/google-to-ban-cryptocurrency-initial-coin-offering-ads-in-june

As of June 2018, Google will ban online advertising promoting cryptocurrencies and initial coin offerings.

Is a certain world leading tech company getting a little concerned about a potentially invincible competitor? Looks that way to me.

As ever, market participants respond to their perception, not reality.

Most market participants don’t possess enough of an understanding of what the implications of any piece of news might be, they just make snap judgements based very limited understanding.

We can wish it to be another way, we can wish that market participants were more rational but that’s never going to happen.

The reality is that this move by Google may well slow down the rate at which crypto grows but it won’t stop it.

I think they may just want to buy themselves some time.

Google has now followed facebook in banning promotions for crypto projects.

Their stated intention is to protect users from malicious and deceptive ads, however to my mind they are very unlikely to share their true intentions, because that often doesn’t serve their interests.

So let me tell you what I think is going to happen now.

Crypto projects are just going to focus on niche media outlets that Facebook and Google do not control.

These are the likes of Cointelegraph, CoinDesk, ICO Alert and of course channels and podcasts like mine.

The major difference between crypto ads that go through Google’s system and projects that come to me to be featured is that Google’s system is large automated, mine is not.

By the time you see a sponsored video on my channel, I have made that project jump through so many hoops you wouldn’t believe it.

Many of the steps in my filtering process are designed to see if a project will give up. Scammers tend not to prefer looking for the quick wins. So when they see everything they have to do to even be considered for a sponsored video, 95% of them I never hear from again.

Now granted, a lot of my content is on YouTube which is supported by Google, so yes no more YouTube ads for crypto projects, but they can still do sponsored videos.

And ultimately, word of mouth cannot be stopped either.

And speaking of perception vs reality…
The reality of the crypto fundamentals continues to march forward.
