The social media ban on cryptocurrency continues.

Facebook started the process a couple weeks ago by banning any cryptocurrency advertising.  Google joined the fray with a ban of its own starting in June.

Twitter is now getting in on the act.

>Sky news reports  that Twitter is preparing to prohibit a range of cryptocurrency advertisements amid looming regulatory intervention in the sector.

>The microblogging platform is following similar moves by Facebook and Google which have restricted financial advertisements due to concerns about illicit activities.

>Sky News understands that the new advertising policy will be implemented in two weeks and currently stands to prohibit advertisements for initial coin offerings (ICOs), token sales, and cryptocurrency wallets globally.

>The reaction was swift, just as we have seen to the other crypto ad bans... smashing Bitcoin back below $7500 (into mystery-dip-buyer territory)
