Sponsored cryptocurrency promotions published on August 17 are pitching Bitcoin cloud mining and AI-driven trading as ways to earn large returns without hardware or manual trading. The articles focus on two platforms: ASDeFi and MoneySimpler, both claiming to offer daily payouts to BTC holders amid market volatility.
ASDeFi, described as a UK-based mining platform founded in 2020, promotes AI-powered cloud computing power and green energy mining facilities. It says users can register and receive a $15 cash bonus, then earn $0.60 per day through mining. The promotional material lists hashrate contracts ranging from a $15 one-day contract with a total return of $15.60 to a $23,000 30-day contract with a claimed total return of $35,765. The article explains Bitcoin's block reward of 3.125 BTC, the 21 million supply cap, and halvings, arguing that cloud mining removes the cost and maintenance barriers of home mining.
MoneySimpler is presented as a UK-based AI automated trading and yield platform operating under European frameworks such as MiCA and MiFID II. The advertorial cites the delayed Clarity Act procedural vote, now expected by September 15, and notes that Polymarket data shows the bill’s passage odds have fallen below 20%. It says BTC briefly fell to around $62,000 before rebounding to about $63,400, while XRP and ETH also saw volatility. MoneySimpler claims users can start with a $50 trial fund and a $10 bonus, with advertised strategies ranging from a $100 two-day basis arbitrage plan to a $27,000 35-day equity alpha strategy. The platform says it supports assets including BTC, ETH, XRP, DOGE, LTC, SOL, USDT, and USDC, and highlights PwC audits, Lloyd’s of London custody insurance, Cloudflare and McAfee security, and FCA registration reference 921139.
