The bitconnect website is still up and running. The exchange I'm pretty sure is running as you can see here:
https://bitconnect.co/user/trade?Market=BCC (there was only a few bitcoins in 24hour volume so most people probably don't realise they can still use the exchange there - also this makes a mockery of how others thought they were inflating their volume before when now they only list $40k worth)
It costs very little to leave a website up and running, but that doesn't change anything about whether Bitconnect's lending platform was a Ponzi or not. What point are you trying to make?
The BCC token was only created for the purpose of running a Ponzi scheme. Now that the Ponzi has shut down there's no remaining use for the token. Sure you can still buy and sell it in various places. You can still trade Paycoin too if you want to.
Their roadmap is still up. Are they going to abandon it now? Not heard anything about it. They haven't updated any news on the site since January 19th, I think.
I've no idea. I suspect they will do whatever they think will net them the biggest return from new victims. If they can find some way of extracting more value from idiots then I guess they'll do so.
What I said about the devs not being able to dump their coin is true and not nonsense as they can only take profits from the lending rates as otherwise it is counterproductive to the whole system to take more profits.
They created a huge number of BCC tokens, and used them to create a Ponzi scheme. What makes you think that they didn't sell any of those tokens when the price was high? Why on earth would they create a massive Ponzi if the exit strategy was to end up with nothing but a bag of worthless BCC tokens? It makes no sense at all. Of course they sold some of their tokens.
There was no evidence they dumped coins when they cancelled the lending either and they still had over 2million coins out of 10million last time I looked .
So they only dumped 80% of them? Such saints!
