Facebook Just Banned ALL Crypto Ads and The Luddites are Dancing In the Newsfeed, but the Joke is On Them! Steemit is Here to stay!

in steemit •  7 years ago  (edited)

The boy king, who would be god of the internet, has stepped in shit this day. From his throne on high, Zuck has demanded that all ads for ICOs and Crypto coins be banned from his kingdom henceforth. Meanwhile, over at Steemit...

YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS BOYS AND GIRLS?

For social media, we now own the cryptosphere! It won't be long until articles on crypto, and steemit links will follow, once he realizes what's going on over here. It's funny how fast the innovators of yesterday become the grumpy of old me of today. Hey, Zuck, you forgot something. You were the FIRST to build a billion member online community. Guess what? The first guy to do anything is never the last, or the best, or the biggest.

YOU JUST PROVED IT COULD BE DONE, THAT'S ALL!

Let's not forget about individual cryptobased sub reddits! The communities are still very strong over there! I wish Steem was better organized to be able to find distinct communities for certain topics, love steemit, but there's always room for improvement.

Well, I'm sure there are a lot of places. I was just creating a fun post, from something I saw almost as it was happening. Thanks for the comment.

This is precisely why people flee to steemit. Escape the dictator!

Yep, we will take their crypto refugees.

I'm disappointed in FB for trying to manipulate people.

LOL, I see that you're serious, but that makes me laugh. It's all they've done since they opened the doors. Here, have this feature NOPE, that works too good. Yes, it's always going to be free, please, promote your business, oh wait, now you need to buy ads!

I understand where you are coming from, but I was annoyed by the fake news campaign.

hey buddy, Zuck just proved this could be done cos bitcoin will soon be the king of internet. haha

Oh but you should see all the people over on Facebook saying YAY, crypto is a scam, and so much more. They're gonna feel real dumb in a few years. LOL

The revolution which crypto has brought is not stoppable. Even zuck is not big enough to stop it. It's time for a Steemit takeover.

I think this is troubling, because so many people are applauding it and obviously don't understand the financial mess we're all in, but it's also hilarious,because he thinks he matters.

Just goes to show how little he knows about crypto in general. FB will go the way of Myspace eventually.

Well, on further reading, he may planning a coup, compete with us because we're getting big enough (50k users a day) to put a dent in his market.

Well, Steemit will too, if history is any teacher.

Yes, it can be done!

We're adding up to 50k new users a day right now!

Love this site!

Yup.

I wonder if Facebook is about to release their own crypto currency (possibly LTC) . It would be clever for them to ban all other crypto ads first.
I recently wrote an article about this in my blog. check it out.
Let me know what you think.

I might do that. I've heard that theory before. Nice comment strategy, BTW, you should check out my Dolphinschool bootcamp. Might interest you. https://steemit.com/dolphinschool/@markrmorrisjr/4-more-days-to-get-free-promotion-on-my-blog-and-dolphinschool-bootcamp-begins-now

That's the kind of crap that makes me hate that pudwacker!!!

Facebook is our enemy and we should try and turn this to our advantage.

Well, I don't do "enemies" but you can if you want. I'm just here to enjoy it while it lasts and hope to build an audience. Thanks for the comment!

As an ultra-newb (3 days in), posts like this really make me happy about jumping off the farcebook ship. ~A

Well, I'm still there, because everyone I know is there. That being said, my time on Facebook is less and less these days.

Every time I read your posts Bob Zimmerman is humming in my head:

"The first one now will later be the last
Cause the times they are a changing

What’s your source??

Hey, Carlos. Facebook newsfeed was littered the story. The rest are just my guesses. Just having some fun with a story. thanks for the comment!

Even if crypto ads are truly banned on facebook, I don't really see any special effect on crypto lovers that much. Besides , I'm not sure a lot of people get information about crypto from facebook. I never did, it was mostly through google ads and friends.

That was the first article I read when I woke up 2 hours ago :D and I laughed my ass off!! More and more people are stampeding out of facebook, and the forward thinkers are making their way over to Steem :D .... I'm a Newbie Steemer myself, but I managed to bring at least 45 #unfuckers over to steem with me, with more heading over this week :D

Facebook is dead! Long live Steemit!

Well, Facebook did a lot right. There's no way anyone any time soon isn't going to be standing on their shoulders, but then Zuck's control freak streak took over and it all went downhill from there.
