Thanks for the link, bud, albeit I know of someone  Wink who contributed to the exposé.

But Bitconnet didn’t do that. After gaining the trust of 1.5 million people all over the world for more than 1 year, they exit-scammed and left people in poverty, ruined lives and broke dreams

They literally butchered people’s souls with their move, and even had the arrogance to post on Twitter Bitcoin news as nothing happened.

In a billion years, which BCC Investard would've thunk it?

I am relieved that I didn't buy any of this an get involved. So many peeps were spamming their ref links to me on Facebook it was hurting my eyeballs. I just feel sad for all of those who followed the likes of Craig Grant and Trevon James while they raked it in from the referral bonuses. I see too many internet marketers on Facebook now spouting so called knowledge about crypto as if they are trading Gods and Bitcoin know it alls. They don't give a sh*t about the technology unless it has a referral link shoved on its backside lol

This.

Overall this is why i think bitconnect was bad for crypto, it sucked in sooo many multi level marketing people who were inexperienced and shouldn't have been giving advice...all they cared about was referrals.
Add money also into it. All they cared about too is for their payouts. Craig Grant and Trevon James are both idiots in cryptocurrency. Also add Guerbez who's records are bad because he's been sued by facebook for $800m+. He also constantly promotes this ponzi scheme.

This guy who put over $140k in bitconnect recently to get $40k a month doing nothing is going mental on youtube about bitconnect now. This video also shows Yurish (one of the main promoters, it seems, who also promoted OneCoin) even talking about Ponzi schemes at the ceremony in October and says 'bitconnect is the perfect scheme' (he was probably thinking of a different word as he paused for a bit) but he was actually implying that he doesn't think bitconnect is a Ponzi as he previously referred to the others being Ponzis but said bitconnect was 'perfect'.

From this point onward is where Yurish talks (but I added the money falling from the sky bit- as it shows how much money they made everyone without even being a Ponzi!!) https://youtu.be/hTZzEct0w_w?t=619

BCC needs a better team to grow! Current prices are already in fact! People invest more and more. Hope coin will grow in the coming time.

From what I'm reading, it seems they've already onboard Leroy Fodor and Yakov Fabrizio.

Anybud haz da el linko por BCCX's blockchain? Mes wanna see somethin'.

They might not have a blockchain yet. Even the lending ICOs sometimes only have the coin afterwards.


Let me see if I have this correct. Myriad of people are sending BitConnect tokens attached to publicly available TxIDs for another token consisting of an IOU (read: no TxIDs) which may or may not include a thank you for their support.

Dude, I want in on some of this action. In fact, I'm willing to team up with Suchmoon and you'll be our chief spokesperson. So to prove that we're viable, we'll even provide TxIDs for each and every transaction.

For every 1 BCC that the Investards send us, we'll sent them 150 200 300 500 (coin name/ticket symbol TBD; suggestions?); double the amount if the Investard posts a YouTube video depicting them performing the live-duck-on-head challenge - doubled again if two ducks with a 10000 [TBD] bonus if the ducks are orange and black and are fucking (ducks of opposite sex preferred, but ...).

Saw a vid where this seems to work: tap F5 exactly 7 times, whereupon a big green button will appear. Tap the button. Wait. Then you'll be instructed on how to get your money back once providing a wallet address different than the one originally used when you remitted your precious. Depending on the speed of the respective blockchain used, you will have your refund between 2 minutes and 2 hours.

Good luck, bud.

Seems to still be lots of moaners on this thread. I happened to just see a youtube video (from 14th so before they shut their lending) that suggests they were consulting with their legal team. It also says they already complied with the Cease and Desists so they were doing everything legally.

Click at this time: https://youtu.be/5gkVfuXIR0w?t=256  (it also said they had told the promoters to stop promoting it)


According my records, that channel used to be called UK BitConnect. Given that, why the name change when the creator is still jacking off all over himself while espousing BitConnect?

Has there been any news on ethconnect lately?


Yes! Rumor has it that they're takin' a page outta BitConnect's playbook and ending the project due to bad press but rebrandin' with EthConnectX, readying a new ICO as we speak. A top that, they'll be accepting all alts including RateCoin for ECHX purchases.

Seems people are rushing to get some losses back from bitconnect. Thorn seems to be the new ICo.. which seems somewhat optimmistic  as seen at http://www.topinvest.win/2018/01/new-promising-ico-for-january-2018.html

Wow, I'm going to sell my house and invest in this new opportunity.  Roll Eyes

When you do, please post the TxID on the BCCX blockchain. Speakin' of, anybud (just made that up; kinda like it; oh wait, may have a different cogitation then intended  Shocked), have the link to BCCX's blockchain just it case canibalgb sells his house but forgets to post the TxID, whereupon I'll be able to explore the explorer in hunting down the transaction myself?

Believe or not, I corrected that and a couple other minor issues while you were quoting me, bud. Nice catch, just the same.
1194  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][BCC] Bitconnect Coin - Decentralized Cryptocurrency on: January 22, 2018, 02:34:09 AM
Bitconnect was not an investment. It was a scam, it collapsed, the last ones to hold the bag got stuck with near-worthless tokens. That's how these scams work. There is no feasible way for "everyone" to make 30% per month. Such investments don't exist. It's not "bad press" that made people lose their money. It's the scammers. With some help from shills like you.

What I don't like, is idiots saying the scam 'collapsed' when they never collapsed. They always paid less BCC in interest than was lent to them in the lending system. It would have carried on fine without all these people saying it was a Ponzi etc. It is obvious to any sane person who isn't traumatised enough to have to believe these Ponzi stories to psychologically survive.

Also, as I explained before, to send just 6BTC from my wallet at a normal fee range (few hundreds satoshis per byte) I had to pay hundreds of dollars. My wallet wouldn't have charged me more than I needed to pay but obviously most wallets like electrum generate lots of inputs etc so the more you send the more the fee would be.

Oh I seem to deleted what I wrote before but basically those were normal charges for sending that amount of BTC from my wallet, in the last few days I gave examples to before.

Instead of just typing it I will copy and paste the images from electrum below from a couple of transactions in the last two days:


You're an utter idiot. I'm sorry, but there is no other way to put it.

So what part don't you agree with?? Bitconnect always profited in BCC from the lending system and didn't need to take BCC from new lenders to pay old ones. So it wasn't a ponzi. When someone lent 1BCC for example, by the end of the term the capital release would only cost bitconnect say 0.1BCC if the coin had gone up 10 times in that 8 months or whatever (in practice it only took a few months to go 10X) and the interest paid was also far lower than the gain in the coin price. They could have easily paid 50% higher interest rates (I'm guessing but a lot higher than 1%) and still been in profit!!! They didn't have a guaranteed percentage for reinvests or lower amounts so could have easily carried on without even changing the terms of the loans!

Regarding the fees, my wallet lets me choose and I didn't choose the fastest, but low/medium. I set it also to dynamic fees so it can tell how much is needed for certain speeds. I would have paid even more if I wanted it to be faster but any slower wasn't much cheaper so I set it to medium speed.

EDIT: Just did the calculation and at 1.5% per day that is about 56% per month and 200X in a year. The coin was initially valued at sub-$1 in the ICO and I think fell to 16cents early on but went up to near $500 all in a year so the 1% wasn't excessive at all. 1% daily is only 35X in a year!!!


So what's your goal here?

I don't understand why you insist on trying to argue with people who know far more about Crypto than you do, all you are doing is accruing more negative trust.

This thing is dead in the water, it's over jim, sell your coins (if you have any left) and learn from your mistakes.

Here, I'll even link a couple news articles for you.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitconnect-ponzi-scheme-no-sympathy-from-crypto-community

https://www.coindesk.com/bitconnect-investors-left-lurch-tokens-price-drops-90/

https://news.bitcoin.com/not-content-with-scamming-1-5-billion-bitconnect-wants-another-500-million-for-its-ico/

There is a very good chance that current exchanges will delist BCC in order to avoid legal trouble and all remaining Coins will be worth $0


Are you serious? I already pointed out the factually incorrect statements from some of those stories (about them running off with bitcoins etc). All they had left when they closed the lending were the same BCC tokens some people are saying are now worthless - the same ones they left all the investors with as that was the only currency the lending platform used (although they were paid in relation to the USD value of the coins when they were lent or when they are withdrawn from the lending wallet). Why would they want their millions of BCC to be worthless (which they stake hundreds of thousands of each month)? I also showed they didn't dump them either (they were more than likely buying them cheap the other day). Actually if I look on the rich list, there has basically been no recent activity on many addresses and I don't think they stake from those largest wallets either.

There are hundreds of these coins and BCC is nowhere near as bad as most of the coins on exchanges. A lot of them are pure scams that get dumped on by the devs and you say you know a lot about crypto? There are no laws about these coins in most countries and bitconnect lending wasn't operating as a ponzi when they stopped it.


I am not posting for any particular reason other than to try to correct people's prejudices (which seldom works anyway due to the little understood 'backfire effect'). I just tend to go on a bit sometimes  Grin



"The Texas SSB is wrong!!! BitConnect is NOT a Ponzi."

<as they pealed rubber upon exiting the building, leaving the lights on for Investards so to think somebody's home>


I just addressed the Texan thing in the above post but are you now doing your own lending platform (your signature):

"The cryptoverse is now populated with neophyte enthusiasts, many who were first introduced to crypto via stumbling upon the likes of BitConnect with their jury's-still-out lending programs, regarded by some as being unsustainable over the long haul. Regardless if the sentiment is accurate or not, the truth of the matter is that there are now countless folks acclimated with the lending platform model as a means to [hopefully] enrich themselves in the crypto space.

After the quasi-success of BitConnect, myriad clones of the model sprung up, many of which immediately vanished at their ICOs' end, leaving some participates spooked while others sought out, then enrolled into yet another pseudo-promising lending platform clone, both groups possessing lighter pocketbooks after participating in rogue entities.

What makes this LendFunding endeavor sound is that the person behind it is well-known in the space, i.e. not hiding his vitals, and the entity of which initial funding is sought - YuTü.Co.in - has a solid foundation business model, primed for long-term growth in tokenizing YouTuber channels of opted-in YouTubers."


I thought you were from USA too and didn't you scare another lending platform off and made them close down with everyone's money (Elektra)? If you hadn't exposed them they would have probably made many people lots of money unless it was their intention all along to disappear.

I am in the US. Thanks for quoting my content, bud. Notice the lack of grammatical errors?  Tongue If by chance you were alluding to my lending program as some sort of Ponzi scheme, sadly you're mistaken, for in spite of its name - LendFunding - the lending program was limited in nature to garner initial funding and as a means to reward early adopters. That was all.

Quoting a snippet from your other post ...

Quote
Also, you must see that the ICO limit on bitconnectx gets sold every day?? Over a quarter of a million BitconnectX.

Question: Do you have the link to the blockchain depicting even one BCCX transaction, albeit seeing a quarter of a million BCCX transferred would be nice?

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.

I concur! Why do people care about a scam coin that affects the entire crypto space built so that Investards can give their precious to rogue agents, then later come back cryin' to the very folks who told them not to touch the stove - again - because ... wait for it ... it's still HOT!!!

On a bright side, Investards, BitConnect is most likely to give everybody their money back given that they have over U$70M worth of bitcoin in their coffer - NOT!!! (rhymes with HOT!!!).

Another day, another time out while trying to exchange BCC for BCCX. Try again tomorrow.
Honestly they should just automatically gift us BCCX at 8 to 1 ratio. 3:1 is still a huge haircut.

===============

I agree. Same here. It does not matter what you do, sign early, buy BCCX at 9:00:01, nothing happens? screen freezes. Sorry all coins sold out! day after day.  We are dealing with robots and it looks like they just want the BCC coins inside trapped with the $150 carrot.
