novel uses of cryptocurrency will almost inevitably gain traction because of their worth, especially considering how hot the market is right now with whales willing to throw ETH/BTC at anything that has a tiny chance to moon. how would Google enforce a rule like "we will block ads that present unrealistic claims?" who defines unrealistic? if you left that definition up to me 99% of the ERC-20 token based startups out there are unrealistic. there's no way that Google could "apply that rule equally across all advertiser" without being accused of being impartial/having vested interests.

How about instead of "unrealistic claims" simply prohibit claims about unproven future monetary performance of an asset?
