I can't believe the brazen request to send money directly to "The Keepers" - you totally called it.
anyone of the community participants can become the Keeper. And yes, we trust each other, because the Keepers are the same participants as anyone else of us. The money of community is not kept by the Keepers, but in the blockchain. Keepers only authorized to click the button for payments
@neotronix - I am singularly uninterested in any defense you might put forward; as far as I am concerned you are bitconnect 2.0 and I thought the original bitconnect was a Ponzi/pyramid scheme, too, before it imploded so spectacularly.
I was just a member of Bitconnect, that started after Mercury was created in 2013 and worked for about 1 year. Unlike of Bitconnect, Mercury works for about 5 years. So, Mercury is not "bitconnect2.0" because Mercury existed before Bitconnect.
