Another thing that people who are not involved in Bitconnect is that it is actually a fail proof system for the most part. Look at the graphs, Bitconnect is simply piggybacking Bitcoin at slightly lower interest payouts. Their fail proof system is that the platform can not have a huge dumpoff of coins or loans due to the way it is setup. When everyone thinks of Ponzi they think of Madoff. This is impossible to do because each loan has its own maturity date and that maturity date is different for different loan amounts. Bitconnect could only lose around 10% max of its total platform due to the way it is setup. Believe me BCC will be around for as long as the BTC unless the people behind Bitconnect decide to bail, Bitcoin fails, or the feds knock their doors down and shutdown the program. End of story. Invest in what you want and I'll invest in what I want. And in all honesty PLEASE someone tell me what is a 100% guarantee in the cryptocurrency market, the BTC is the closest thing and thats not even a slam dunk. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. Every Coin, Token, ICO they are all a crap shoot.
There's your answer. They WILL bail. Its just a matter of when.
I think its likely to be one of two things that trigger an exit:
1. Bitcoin price correction. If BTC loses 10%+ quickly, I think they'll be out the door as the withdrawals will require more BTC to be paid.
2. After they receive deposits for the BCC Pay card. They are asking for people to deposit onto the cards BEFORE they are sent out! This is the last cash grab before the best disappearing act the crypto world has ever seen.
Once they are gone, all the shills and promoters will be asking themselves what happened. And they'll start to realise, NONE of them even know who got all that Bitcoin. They will then tell their followers how investing is risky and that sometimes things go bad - too bad! The followers will lose everything and the promoters get to keep their referral bonuses. Scum of the earth!
I'd say they'll stay online to at least the forking, then the fucking really begins.
