This is why people in crypto get so hot under the collar about Bitconnect. It makes them uncomfortable because they know at heart it isn't that much different from the crypto they own that goes up from new people wanting some of it. They want people to invest in THEIR ponzi scheme, not this other Bitconnect ponzi scheme!
Government issued money is a ponzi scheme too, everything is a ponzi at some level. Bitconnect is just the most ponzi of ponzi schemes lol.
