I've just checked the market recently, and it feels like I didn't regret about not investing to Bitconnect and Regalcoin.
As of today, Bitconnect got down by 50% from $440+ to $220+ and Regalcoin from $75+ to $4+. Maybe lending type coins are not going to last long, especially that Bitconnect was criticized as a ponzi and they have been threatened by UK to shut down their services early January.
Are they really dead now guys?
If its all about the drop in price that is being witnessed for you to determine whether those coins are dead, then I would say maybe bitcoin is dead too and all other coins that have shown a downward price in the past couple of days. In the case of bitconnect, the possibility of it crashing is kind of high considering the negative publicity that surrounds it and the UK threat you made reference to in determining the future of this coin.
