Why do people care about a coin that does not affect them. If they are not invested in it then it doesn't affect them, they should take care of their own business. However, unless they are scared of it for some reason, then it makes sense. The competition is always scared of something that is/was more successful than them.
Scams like BitConnect affect all of crypto, giving it a bad name in general. The millions of dollars lost by newbies to this scam could otherwise have gone into legitimate coins rather than lining scammer pockets. Scams like this turn people away from crypto. If the first coin I "invested" in was BCC I'm pretty sure it would also be the last.
