Is the bitconnect team with the etherconnect team the same? Do you have any information on this? There are scam claims about bitconnect but it does not seems like much scam at this point where the price comes from. I can not understand which aspects of scam are alleged. they say that they will make a similar project about ethereum of the same team and that it will increase its price in this way, but I do not know whether the mentioned project is this project.
There is a difference between a scam and a ponzi scheme. Neither of them are Scams per say, but they are ponzi schemes. New investors pay off old one. That's why the money needs to be locked up for a certain time period. Will it all collapse one day when no new people sign up? absolutely.. can you make money in the meantime? absolutely.
