There's a new way to invest in Bitcoin -- But buyer Beware
Bitcoin lovers have been searching for a way to safely invest in the enormous potential they see in the crypto currency.
Buying actual bitcoins has proven dangerous, to say the least. Just look at the unbelievable turbulence in Bitcoin prices -- the currency's value shot up 6,000% in one year before collapsing in value -- and the alleged fraud at the Mt. Gox Bitcoin exchange that led many investors to lose money.
In theory, an exchange-traded fund, or ETF, that mirrors the price of Bitcoin would offer a somewhat safer alternative. Think: something akin to SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD), which tracks gold prices.
But no Bitcoin ETFs have been created. An effort by the twins Cameron and Tyle Winklevoss to do just that has been waiting two years to receive approval from regulators. The Securities and Exchange Commission is still trying to figure out how to define and oversee Bitcoin.
This week, ARK Investment Management announced a full embrace of the digital currency. Its ARK Web x.0 ETF (ARKW) became the first ETF to invest in bitcoins.
"Current prices present an attractive entry point for our investors," Cathie Wood, ARK's founder and chief investment officer, said in a statement.
But before taking a leap, it would be smart to read the fine print of the ETF, which trades under the ticker symbol "ARKW."
First, it's not a pure play on Bitcoin. Even though it announced the Bitcoin play, the ETF is actually an investment in what it calls disruptive technologies. The crypto currency represents just a slice of its holdings, packaged along with Netflix (NFLX, Tech30), LinkedIn (LNKD, Tech30) and athenahealth(ATHN), a cloud-based provider of electronic health records.
It's investing in pink sheet security, not actual Bitcoin
Second, the ARK ETF is not actually investing directly in bitcoins. It's buying shares of something called the Bitcoin Investment Trust. Most people haven't even heard of that.
That trust started trading in May on the pink sheets under the ticker symbol "GBTC." It's got a market valuation of under $40 million and very little trading volume.
The pink sheets, also known as the over-the-counter market, provide less transparency and oversight from regulators. They're like a Wild West alternative to the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq.
"Pink sheets are where most investors aren't willing to tread," said Matt Hougan, CEO of ETF.com, a research firm.
Spotty track record at mirroring Bitcoin
Another problem is that the investment hasn't really mirrored the price of Bitcoin, which defeats the purpose. At times the trust's shares have spiked or surged -- even though underlying Bitcoin prices were relatively calm.
"You're not really getting Bitcoin here. You're getting a Bitcoin derivative that kind of tracks the price of Bitcoin -- but not really well," said Hougan. "There are a bunch of leaps of faith in that chain of command."
The ETF company brushed away these concerns, suggesting that price volatility is actually a good sign.
Another risk for the investment is regulatory. The trust warns investors in disclosure documents that its future may be jeopardized by looming regulation from the SEC.
Bitcoin is not for the faint of heart
All of this is on top of the inherent risk that goes into investing in anything that has volatility of Bitcoin.
Founded in 2009, Bitcoin burst onto the financial scene this decade as investors looked for an alternative to traditional currencies. Prices skyrocketed more than 6,000% in 2013 before peaking at nearly $1,250.
And then prices collapsed, losing two-thirds of their value last year alone. While Bitcoin has actually calmed down a lot lately, it's still down 27% this year to $230 apiece.

PES 2016
BY CHRIS SCHILLING : PES 2016 might well be the best football game ever made.
To explain why is something of a challenge. The improvements don't lend themselves easily to snappy back-of-the-box soundbites. I can’t point to a single change or addition that makes all the difference. Rather, it’s a game that has been refined in dozens of small ways, all of which have a cumulatively positive effect. This year, PES has shaken off the last remnants of PS2-era rigidity, delivering a faster, more responsive and more fluid game of football. I’m always a little reluctant to make direct comparisons to FIFA – not least as I’ve only played the demo version of EA Sports’ game – because the two handle in such distinctly different ways. For my money, while FIFA more accurately recreates the look of the sport, PES is the game that most closely captures the feel.
For starters, there’s a much stronger sense of physicality this year. It’s most obvious when players jostle for possession (and, indeed, for position). Before, it often felt like outcomes were binary, but it’s no longer quite so predictable. Context is everything: whether you win or lose the ball in a challenge is dependent on a number of factors, taking into consideration the skill of the players involved and their position in relation to the ball and one another. A clean slide tackle is particularly satisfying: contingent on player momentum, they’re among the most tangible demonstrations of your ability to read the game and your opponent. Referees are thankfully more lenient than in real life: you can barrel into a challenge at speed, cleaning out the player as well as winning the ball, but as long as you make contact, it won’t automatically draw a foul. By the same token, if you repeatedly jab X while running alongside an opponent to attempt a standing tackle, rather than waiting for the right moment to step in, then you’re bound to concede a free-kick.
The attacking game has been tweaked, too, and it's here you'll first notice the effort Konami has invested in individualising players. Anyone with a low centre of gravity - like Alexis Sanchez, Carlos Tevez and Sergio Aguero - is a joy to control, as these players have the balance to skip over challenges, occasionally stumbling when clipped but always striving to stay on their feet.

Adf.ly, A legit Way to Make Money
 |
| Adf.ly Review |
What is AdF.ly?
So the first question that comes to your mind is “What is AdF.ly?” so let's start discussing about Adf.ly.
Adf.ly is website that pays you money every time someone clicks on your shortened Adf.ly links.
Still Confused? Let me Explain.
Adf.ly is an URL shortening service similar to Bit.ly.
- You input a link on AdF.ly. For example “google.com”
- AdF.ly shortens it and gives you a links “http://adf.ly/1OR6p8”
- You share the shortened link anywhere on the web.
- Someone clicks on your link i.e. on “http://adf.ly/1OR6p8”
There is twist now. Before redirecting to “google.com” adf.ly will show an ad to your visitor. He had to see the advertisement for at least 5 seconds and then he can continue to your link i.e. “google.com”.
How AdF.ly works?
However I have provided you an overview of the working of AdF.ly, there are some questions left why adf.ly pays you and how adf.ly itself make money. To make it more clear let us take an example. Think of an advertiser who wants to sell his product or promote his online business. So he want more visitors to see his business or buy his product: AdF.ly is the solution for the advertiser. Let's check out the complete working of AdF.ly:
- Advertiser pays money to Adfly to show his website to visitors of any specific country or the whole world. Let’s say advertiser paid $2 for 1000 visits.
- Adfly takes a cut. Let’s say Adfly takes $0.4.
- Adfly shows the advertisement (of advertiser's business or product) for 5 seconds when a visitor clicks on publisher’s links. Publisher gets rest of $1.6 for 1000 visits on his link.
Now you have the complete idea of the working of AdF.ly. Let’s turn to the question “Is AdF.ly a scam?”
Adf.ly: Legit or Scam?
Adf.ly is not a scam; there are several points that prove it.
- It was started on 2009. It is six years now as of 2015. Only legit sites can live for so much of time.
- According to Alexa, Adfly is among the top 100 websites of the world. Can you ever think of a scam site in the top 100 websites of the world?
- It has more than 2 million users registered which prove that adf.ly a famous and legit site.
- They always pay on time.
- And the payment proof paid to me by Adf.ly below, proves it to be legit.

| Adf.ly Payment Proof
Now you should be eager to know more about Adf.ly so let’s continue and check out it's pros and cons.
Pros and Cons of using AdF.lyPros
Cons
Payment Methods
Minimum payout is only $5; this means as soon as you will make $5 you can withdraw it.
Payment Methods are:
Adf.ly also provides daily payments as soon you will meet the following requirements:
Types of Links
First of all let me explain about types of ads adf.ly provides in their links.
Adf.ly provides two types of ads:
Desktop CPV
Interstitials CPV: This are CPV (Cost Per View) ads that is shown for 5 seconds. Example Link: http://adf.ly/1OTT46
Top Banner CPV: These are CPM (Cost Per Mile) banner ad shown at the top of the website URL you shortened using adf.ly. Example link: http://adf.ly/1OR8pj
Mobile CPM Interstitials CPM: This indicates the money you will get for every 1000 ad views on mobile phones that the visitor has to see for at least 5 seconds. Top Banner CPM: This indicates the money that you will earn for every 1000 impressions of banners on mobile phones.
Unique and Raw
There are two types of views according to which you will make different amount of money.
Unique: Average amount paid for 1000 visitors in the 24-hour period.
Raw: Average amount paid on the 1st advert view for 1000 link views in the 24-hour period. In this case the views matter not visitors.
Let us take an example to understand it. Let us say that one person clicked on two of your adf.ly links within 24 hour period, this mean that you have got one unique view but two raw views. Raw views pay slightly less than unique views.
Tools on Adf.ly
Adf.ly has many features and tools which can help you to make even more money.
Mass Shrinker: Mass Shrinker is a tool which allows you to shrink up to 20 URLs at a time. It is a good tool if you want to shrink many URLs at a time.
Multiple Links: This allows AdFly to convert ALL of the links on a page into Paid Links. You simply cut & paste the HTML of a page into the HTML box of the tool and it will generate a new page for you.
Easy Link: If you don’t need a short URL and you just want to make money from your blog or website, Easy Link provides you the quickest and simplest possible way to earn with adf.ly:
Replace "www.google.com" with whatever URL you wish the user to go to if they skip the advertisement.
You do not need to even login to adf.ly to use this and your account will be credited in the same way as if you had shortened the link.
If you want the Easy Link with the Banner advertising (less money, but less intrusive):
Note that the URLs above are my easy link URLs. You will get your own easy link URL when you will sign up for adf.ly.
Bookmarklet: It is toolbar that you can install in your browser. Whenever you visit a page online you just simply click 'Shorten with adf.ly!' button in your tool bar and you will get shortened adf.ly link for that URL.

Plugins: This tool provide wordpress users a plugin to integrate adf.ly on their blogs. How much will you earn from AdFly?
Now the most important question is how much money can you make from Adfly? At an average Adf.ly pays you $2/1000 visits to your links. But as I said it is an average. From USA you can make as much as $9/1000 visits wile from Asian countries you may make less than a dollar for 1000 visits.
Is it low?
It might be low compared to those get rich quick scams that claims that you can make more than $1000 a day sitting at sofa. Earning real money needs patience and hard work.
I have seen people making more than $50 a day using AdFly. The only secrets are persistent and continuous effort.
Now, I will be explaining "How can you make money from Adf.ly" but before that I recommend you to sign up at Adfly so that you can start seeing few cents in your account within few minutes. Don’t worry! It’s FREE to Sign Up and just takes a few seconds. Let’s see quickly how to join AdF.ly?
How to Join Adf.ly?
It is quite easy then also I am writing the steps so that even a novice can also join Adf.ly and start making money posting links on the web.
The whole process will not take more than 2 minutes.
How to Make Money from Adf.ly?
Best thing I like about Adfly is that even a person that do not know much about computers, internet and other tech stuffs can also make money from it. There is no specific strategy to make money from Adfly. I am going to give you some of the ideas to make money from it but it doesn’t mean that these are the only ways to make money. Be creative to make your own ways to share your links so that it reaches to the huge number of people and they click on it.
In a nutshell, a person is only going to click your links if you have something interesting or valuable to share through your links. Here are some of the places you can share your links. But before you share your links; be sure you have something people want to check out. Let’s start:
Post on forums
Most of the forums allow links in your posts. Find a trending topic that is going to be trending for few months at least (So that you can make money for months). Find forums related to that topic and sign up to them. Find something related to that topic and post on them on the forums. Keep increasing your posts solely (Note: Never spam or you will get banned from forums).You will see your earnings increasing slowly.
Comment on blogs
This is similar to the above trick. Just the difference is that this time you are posting on blogs related to your topic.
Using Social Networks
Social networks are place where people usually share links. Only you have to do is that, find some famous social networks and before posting any link shorten it with adf.ly. But you should take care that a person after seeing the advertisement and skipping the ad, should get something interesting. If he gets something junk, surely he is not going to click your links anymore in the future.
Note: Most famous social networks like facebook, twitter etc. have banned adf.ly links. Don’t worry there are other social networks which have not banned them.
Using Blog or Website
If you have a blog or a website, you can use it to make money from Adf.ly. Just change your outgoing links to adf.ly links or you can also their full page script or website entry script.
Note: I never recommend you to use adf.ly links on professional blog or website.
Refer Others
This can be proved to be the way to make most money from Adf.ly. Only you have to do is to refer your friends, relatives or anyone to join adf.ly and you will make money.
Refer Publishers and you will receive 20% of their earnings for life.
Refer Advertisers and earn 5% commission on every advertising order they make.
Have PatienceThis is where the majority of people fail, they don't have patience and give up soon. Also some others think that they will earn very small amount, so what's the use? But the truth is even a millionaire starts from making cents. Slow and steady wins the race, and it applies very true for making money with Adf.ly.Conclusion
These are not the only ways; you can create your own ways to make even more money using adf.ly.
If your visitor likes what he get after seeing ad for 5 seconds, it worth his time or else he wasted his valuable time. So never spam adf.ly links that have nothing interesting or valuable to offer all over the web just to get clicks, or you will be called a spammer. I hope you will understand it because spamming is not only a bad practice but it can also have your account suspended at adf.ly.
In a nutshell; make adf.ly account, shorten some valuable webpage URLs and share them on the web. See money adding up in your account. Good Luck!
Note (before signing up to Adf.ly): Don't just join Adf.ly for sake of joining it. I have seen many people who sign up and think that they will get rich within an hour, doing nothing. I hope you are not that kind of person. After joining adf.ly, start sharing your links so that it can reach most number of people. Most probably you will see only cents or even less in your adf.ly dashboard but if you continue, those cents will convert to dollars and soon you will get your first payout from adf.ly.
