Cryptocurrency Ads Bans Are Irrational And Inconsistent – Here’s Why!

I guess you remember when Google, Facebook, and then Twitter announced their intention to cut off all the publicity related to cryptocurrency. More recently, Microsoft has joined the fight against crypto ads. But, cryptocurrency ads bans are inconsistent and irrational. Let me explain to you why!

The argues behind the cryptocurrency ads bans

As all the big players such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Microsoft said, the cryptocurrency ads bans came to protect users from getting scammed because there are many cryptocurrency-related scams that would’ve been promoted via Google Ads, Facebook Ads, and so on.

As CryptoDaily put it in an elegant manner, wouldn’t be better to educate the public regarding the cryptocurrency instead of directly cutting off crypto-related ads?

However, Google, Facebook, and the others thought it would be wiser to directly ban cryptocurrency ads instead of promoting only those reliable projects that could educate users about the cryptocurrency’s world.

Cryptocurrency ads bans are irrational

First, Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Microsoft banned cryptocurrency ads but each one of them has its own interest in cryptocurrencies. As the BTC Manager said, cited by CryptoDaily, “both Facebook and Google have issued statements that show their interest in cryptocurrencies, specifically their underlying blockchain technology. This raises the undeniable question – Are the prohibitions on advertising much more than a decision motivated by the concealment of fraudulent activities?”

On the other hand, all the before-mentioned companies adopted cryptocurrency ads bans but still allow gambling ads, porn-related ads, and others.

Good job, guys!

Cryptocurrency ads bans are inconsistent

What Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Microsoft have not understood yet is that cryptocurrencies market is now a part of many people’s lives, therefore, it can’t be ignored. As you can see when you visit a crypto-related site, there are plenty of cryptocurrency ads provided by advertisers others than Google Ads, Facebook Ads, and so on.

Also, on social networks, you might bump into some links that are not ads but still direct you to crypto-related sites. And guess what? The majority of these ones are reliable and not scams.

In conclusion, cryptocurrency publicity cannot be stopped by cryptocurrency ads bans adopted by Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Microsoft, and, most likely this ban thing will be ditched sooner than you expect.

EOS (EOS) Will Trade At $33 By The End Of July, John McAfee Predicted

Everybody knows that John McAfee is a crypto enthusiast. He backed up cryptos and blockchain technology on many turns and now he came up, once again, with one of his well-known predictions. According to John McAfee, EOS (EOS) will reach $33 by the end of July.

A few days ago, on June 3rd, McAfee put the EOS community on fire after releasing the rumor that EOS (EOS) will reach $33 in July. Despite that many considered his prediction crazy, maybe John McAfee had some inside information, wouldn’t he?

Well, we can’t say he had or not, but one thing is for sure.

He also predicted Bitcoin (BTC) will reach $200K by the end of 2020 but, as we speak, there are no signs that such thing will happen.

However, today, thus 3 days after McAfee’s prediction on EOS (EOS), the crypto went down by several points, decreasing from $14.77 (on June 3rd) to $13.61 (today, June 6th, at the moment of this writing).

Can EOS (EOS) reach $33 by the end of July, as John McAfee predicted?

Honestly, we can’t say for sure, and nobody can, as we all know that cryptocurrencies market is highly volatile. However, relying on facts, can EOS (EOS) reach the value against the US Dollar that McAfee predicted?

First, for EOS (EOS) to reach $33 it has to appreciate by about 150% (as its price is $13.61, at the moment of this article).

Taking the last 3 months into consideration, EOS cryptocurrency has grown by about 140%, as it was one of the top earners among the top 10 cryptocurrencies. However, if we look at EOS (EOS) progress during the last 30 days, we notice that this crypto has actually declined by more than 20%.

But EOS recovered by about 10% in the last 7 days.

As the EOS (EOS) progress looks right now, we doubt that it can gain 150% in the upcoming 1,5 months but, I repeat myself, the cryptocurrencies market is pretty volatile and massive increases, as well as significant losses, might occur.

Pokémon Let’s Go and Let’s Go Eevee Available to Play with Latest Improvements

This week is shaping out to be a whirlwind of new information coming to the fans in the Pokémon community. Today we will be talking all about the recent trailers for Pokémon Let’s Go and Let’s Go Eevee. We’ll also go into more detail about the new free Pokémon Quest game and some sneaky tactics that Niantic has set in place to ensure that players will not get their Pokémons through illicit ways. Tune in to find out all of the details about these games.

April Fool’s reality

Usually, the 1st of April is a day dedicated to making pranks on people, as loud and as outrageous as possible. When big brands join into this fun celebration or when people post some news regarding a recent release on this day, it is only natural that it would be taken as a hoax. Except that this time the fake leak turned out to be the truth after all.

For a long time, fans have been teased that a new Pokémon RPG game will be released in 2019. The game is said to stay close to the classic gaming experience. Let’s Go, Pikachu! And Let’s Go, Eevee!, on the other hand, are games that will be released this year, so it is natural that the spotlight is on them.

The April fool’s post was initially uploaded on 4chan, and people naturally thought that it was a hoax. When the same post surfaced sometime later and only then did people start to collect the dots. It is being said that the person who made this leak was close to the project since it released some information that even Niantic did not officially announce as of yet. For instance, we now know that there will be two editions of the RPG game which will be integrated with Pokémon Go. We will also get a new Pokéball Plus controller which is said to look very flashy.

Pokémon Let’s Go and Pokémon Yellow Side

Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu and Let’s Go Eevee are both going to be released on the 16th of November exclusively on Nintendo Switch. The game is going to focus on allowing fans to revisit some favorite locations in the game. Yes, their design has been a bit revamped, but they are still recognizable.

The first trailer showed some iconic spots that are said to be part of the game. For those of you that did not immediately recognize them, a fan of the series decided to spend some time and create a collage which shows the classic spots and the trailer revamped versions.

Yes, Nintendo Switch is not as flashy and as powerful graphics wise as the PS4 or the Xbox One but these two games have graphics tame enough to look good on the small portable console.

Pokémon Quest is one of the best

If you are a fan of the series, but you do not have the money to spend on some of the more important game installments, then we recommend that you give Pokémon Quest a try. The game is set on the Tumblecube island, and it seems to follow the boxy trend set it stone (pun not intended) by Minecraft. At the start of the game, you make a friend of choice (Squirttle, Bulbasaur or Charmander) after which you start the journey of going through level after level. What makes the game fun is that you can equip three Pokémons which each have two moves to choose in a battle situation.

During the battle, you can pick up two stones: the red one which helps boost your attack and the blue one which gives you some HP. If you want to have a smoother gaming experience, Niantic is there for you, by giving you an auto option during fights. However, there is a battery in the game which slowly gets depleted after a certain number of battles, and it needs time to recharge. Yes, there are in-tickets available to fix that problem paid with real cash, but the problem is not that noticeable to need this.

No more cheating

Niantic just made a Twitter announcement that will probably anger some players. The studio just announced that, if one user decides to employ some third-party location services to get a rare Pokémon that is not found in their location, that Pokémon becomes useless. By useless they mean that the player cannot upgrade it, sell it or even use it in battles.

It will just be a gray part of his or her collection. This move comes at the right time since some player has made a habit out of using these third-party apps to build an astonishing Pokémon collection and become strong in a matter of days. This practice takes away from the fun of going out and exploring, trying to find a Pokémon on your own.
