Well that definitely sounds like a scam.
But you could just buy bitconnect right? For example it was 1 dollar each back then. So if someone bought 100 of them for $100, well that means they have around $30000 they can cashout right now... is that correct or not?
So if i were to buy 10 bitconnect right now for $300 each. Thats 3000 dollars. Say it goes up to 500. I could sell it for 2k profit or not? Because even though its a ponzi, well you can get out still right as long as the ponzi still continues? Im not sure if im phrasing it right but im sure you all know what i mean.
Yes, you can just buy and sell the coin freely as you wish.
