I tried for about a month to convince people on this forum that this is a massive ponzi. No one would listen. This is a cult, and the only was to convince someone that their cult religion is fake is for it to collapse on its own. I asked some serious questions and thought provoking questions. You can read them here:
This is a list of questions I've asked over the last few pages, that no one, especially Bitconnect, seems to be able to answer:
Who is Satao Nakamoto? He is apparently the lead developer of this platform, yet we have next to nothing on him. Not even a LinkedIn profile or even a photo of him on his Facebook. Who are the other developers?
Where is the whitepaper? Is it so proprietary that it can't be released?
Where is the money everyone is making coming from? Supposedly you make money by staking it with a "volatility bot" that makes money through some sort of algorithmic trading program. Where is the volatility program arbitraging its earnings from? What exchange is it trading on?
How is there never a loss? You make money every single day, there's never a day where you lose money.
Why do they need their own coin? You don't need a coin to run a trading bot. Especially since they claim to be trading the BTC/USD pair, they should be staking BTC not their own BCC coin.
Is there any independent information worth verifying?
Would Bitconnect allow an independent third-party financial audit from a firm like Friedman LLP who recently audited Bitfinex?
Who's the CEO of Bitconnect.
Here's Yuris Prasetya, part of Bitconnect's team:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVxLbvD-734 Here he's promoting OneCoin, which was recently declared a Ponzi scheme by Indian authorities. Why should we believe he's not trying to promote a new ponzi?
This is OneCoin on steroids. There will be huge losses, already approaching a billion. They've starting running ads on Facebook and Coinmarketcap. The only thing that is going to take this down is if the SEC takes action against Bitconnect, since they are already breaking US securities law, or investors start to flee. It's probably part of the reason that Bitconnect is the only exchange to have circuit breakers. Once the run on them begins, they'll stop trading due to "volatility" and more of the newb defenders here will just say "it's expected because...." It's obvious that the price of BCC is manipulated, look how low volatility is on their exchange. No other cryptocoin trades like that. Bitconnect isn't staking your BCCs, they're just selling them on their own exchange to new buyers.
I've pretty much given up trying to push people away from this ponzishitcoin. I can't wait for it to implode though.
