Commodities actually is not exactly the safest area to invest in if you go to the wrong people. Gold coins for instance have their fair share of fraud-peddlers.

Commodities actually is not exactly the safest area to invest in if you go to the wrong people. Gold coins for instance have their fair share of fraud-peddlers. (https://www.aarp.org/money/scams-fraud/info-2016/gold-coin-investment-scams.html https://www.aarp.org/money/scams-fraud/info-2016/gold-coin-i...) My best guess is, based on their guidelines (https://www.facebook.com/policies/ads/ https://www.facebook.com/policies/ads/), sure, Facebook would be okay with any gold advertisements from accredited commodities investment institutions. On the other hand, advertisements from certain random shady gold coin dealers? Honestly, Facebook should be weary of advertisements in this space too, if they aren't already. If there was a way for cryptocurrency to come from an "accredited institution" with "sufficient disclosure" of various metrics and safeguards typically used in retail investing, I would think Facebook would be okay with it. It's more that a lot of cryptocurrency (really unfortunately considering how fascinating the tech is) feels shady and/or scam like at the moment.
