DO NOT SELL BCC.
This is Official Announcement from Bitconnect website.
The reason for halt of lending and exchange platform has many reasons as follow:
The continuous bad press has made community members uneasy and created a lack of confidence in the platform.
We have received two Cease and Desist letters, one from the Texas State Securities Board, and one from the North Carolina Secretary of State Securities Division. These actions have become a hindrance for the legal continuation of the platform.
Outside forces have performed DDos attacks on platform several times and have made it clear that these will continue. These interruptions in service have made the platform unstable and have created more panic inside the community.
Closing the lending and exchange platform doesnt mean that we will stop supporting BitConnect coin. Closing the lending platform will allow Bitconnect to be listed on outside exchanges giving more options for trading.
We will keep working to make BitConnect coin available to merchant websites providing them API access to accept BitConnect Coins on their platforms.
Yeah them and every other coin that wants merchants to accept their currency. Heck, even bitcoin is having a tough time being accepted as a currency on merchant website (not counting bitpay because that is just converting btc to fiat).
