➡️How are the complaints?
➡️ASA reviewed the ad for two reasons, following complaints from readers:

The risks associated with Bitcoin investment are not clear,
The promotion of investing in Bitcoin as a good and safe thing without mentioning the risks (pension, encouragement of many years of savings to be invested in Bitcoin the easy way).
Coinfloor denies complaints, but the ban could not be stopped
#Coinfloor stated that the thoughts written in the advertisement completely belong to the customer and do not reflect the company ideas. At the same time, he stated that an article was written at the bottom of the advertisement stating that Bitcoin investment carries a risk.

The ASA opposed the company's response, insisting that the advertisement should not convey the message that it is safe to buy Bitcoins with large amounts of money. It was stated that the article about the investment risk at the bottom of the advertisement was written in very small letters.

Coinfloor CEO Obi Nwosu said they wanted to start a good dialogue with ASA to provide accurate information about the potentials of Bitcoin technology.
