Learning about Bitconnect over the last week at first made me sad but now I am angry. This thing is 100% a scam and a ponzi scheme. There are no ifs, ands, or buts. I am a registered financial adviser/ financial consultant and hyip scams like this are nothing new. Bitconnect only made it more involved by having a token backing the whole thing. Its pointless trying to convince you blind cult followers who follow Bitconnect. But it doesn't matter what the product or investment strategy is. No one and I mean no one can guarantee daily interest of even .1 % let alone anything near 1%.
The reason I am now mad is from watching all of you jokers on youtube pushing this thing and trying to get referrals. By doing this you are literally stealing from other people. The money that is paid out as interest is purely from other people coming in. There is no trading strategy in the world that can constantly give insane profits. If their product or strategy was soo good they would have raised 10s of millions of dollars from institutional investors and actual institutions and would thus be the most successful hedgefund to ever exist. By trying to get people to join up and sign up under you is sick and stealing. I am tired of seeing how smug all of you Bitconnect followers are by thinking you are being prudent "investors." From my research I have even seen some people who invest in these things knowing they are HYIP scams but hoping to just make some money before they get shut down. Well that again is stealing, as the money you make will be from someone else who might lose out when the site shuts down.
To resolve this mess tomorrow I am filing a report with the FBI office here. This needs to be shut down before more of you jokers try to lure people into this ponzi/scam. Shame on you all.
That's funny, I just saw you post on the bitcoin reddit the exact same thing at the exact same time!! I just explained how it isn't a Ponzi, they are offering a service to guarantee deposits. The weird thing is that I see a very unusual and steady fall of the price in the last few hours. Why haven't they blocked their exchange for this? They may have as I haven't been in for a while but please try and understand my explanation. As long as they can guarantee the lenders deposts (which I've already explained how they do it) they can't be a Ponzi.

Maybe it's a strategy to keep the price up but doesn't seem to be working lol anyway this fall is a bit worrying. Also, it seems some people who deposited BTC during the glitch and while the site was down had the funds go to the wrong address or not show up in the wallet but as there are not many reports of this I'm not sure exactly how common it was.... there was nothing about that on bitconnect's announcements.
