I will say this to all contributors here - Yes, Bitconnect put a very bad reputation on all lending companies but as you see from the BCC price it is still not at 0 and will likely not go to 0 unless they completely abandon the coin.
You see, there are only 28 million Bitconnect coins available.
There are only 21 million bitcoins available.
There are many companies who offer just the money transfer service and have supplies well over 250 million coins with prices much higher than Bitconnect coins now ($4).
There are other companies with almost a billion coins of supply that offer utilities such as Masternodes and mining.
Some coins with high supplies offer nothing more than an unproven concept.
Other coins are only alive because of the strong support from the community which believes in them.
If Bitconnect started as only a money transfer system the price would probably be much higher due to the scarcity of coin supply available.
I will let you read between the lines on this when compared to HBC supply and price.
Do some research. I hope everyone has a nice weekend.
