Google is imminently banning Crypto-Advertising and Facebook has already enacted it, literally not allowing you to promote posts that even CONTAIN the words 'blockhcain' or 'cryptocurrency'.... to show just how true this is, let me point out that a post about my two educational blockchain conferences Boston Crypto Con and NH Crypto Con were completely blocked, even after clarification via appeal. MORE FRIGHTENINGLY, my share of a steemit post literally just pointing out that Facebook is blocking Crypto-Advertising was completely blocked even after appeal. They are literally stopping the narrative at the door. It is full barring of promotion about Crypto/Blockchain. Google, now, is following suit, claiming they are trying to protect consumers.
I'm not sure if it is a PR move or if the goal is to ensure that they can delay the full takeover until they are ready to position themselves securely in the movement. I imagine the latter; I think that both companies are planning to make a big move into Blockchain and potentially show big support for an existing token/system, with the bans being used as tools to slow progress for other innovators, as well as keep crypto cheap in the short-term so that they have freedom of movement within the sector, financially speaking. I think that these two Behemoth's are unintentionally highlighting the power of the movement though, as it is showing, as banks have already begun to do, that Blockchain/Crypto will literally flip the ENTIRE FINTECH INDUSTRY on its head, like a master Judoka, with patience and ease. The movement has just begun and by participating here, you are literally one of the movement's parents because, as they say, it takes a village to raise a child. We are that village and you are my neighbor.
Sure, they're huge companies. Sure, they have billions and billions of dollars. They have great influence, yes. But, their devoted following is NOTHING LIKE the Crypto Faithful. The tenacity, the follow-through, the championing, and the activism that is taking place in this movement is truly breathtaking. It is a revolution and one that is held truly dear in the hearts of many. It is a new day in Technology and people see that and want to take part. It's a powerfully-charged political movement at this point and one that incentivizes in the form of financial compensation and promises of a fairer system on the horizon. That marriage is a recipe for change and that change won't be easily stopped. Additionally, this is more incentive for the mass Facebook Exodus for Steemit or other Blockchain Alternatives!
AS ALWAYS, WISHES OF WEALTH AND HEALTH FOR ALL! :)
