What reason did they give you?  Targeting bitcoin would run counter to their "do no evil" pledge.
Ha ha, do you usually blindly believe what marketers tell you? Are you familiar with the concept of doublespeak? Oh boy.
Exactly my point.  If Google really is singling out bitcoin (maybe they are, maybe they aren't), it should be noted how such an action would be viewed as contrary to the values of people that hold freedom in high esteem.  Google took a very strong stand in favor of freedom in its dealings with China (to the point that it presented a significant risk to its earnings and share price).  Such an action against bitcoin would stand in stark contrast to that position and could unwind any goodwill they engendered from taking such a stand.
