seen a lot of compelling posts from the ponzi scheme side of the argument. Got a question though, who here has lost money from bitconnect, whether it be a small or large amount?
Likely nobody has lost anything yet. The way Ponzis work is that they pay out large returns at first, and then stop paying out when they have enough deposits to make it worth closing up shop. Ponzi supporters always defend their scam with the immortal line "but it's still paying!" as if that proves it isn't a Ponzi. That's a good question and worth setting up a bet, it's been a year and nobody's complaining that Bitconnectcoin has scam anyone here even a single cent and the people who complaints here are all none investors it's our money it's none of your business all coins can grow up to 20% or dip down to 40% so what's new in this business.
The problem with setting up a bet is that while I would be willing to bet that this scheme stops paying out its massive returns within the next 2 years, anyone who believes in the scheme enough to bet against me believes that they can make 40% per month investing in it. Compounding that 40% per month for 2 years would allow them to multiply their money by a factor of 32, whereas betting against me would only let them double their money. There's no way I'm offering 32 to 1 odds, so the scam supporter is better off just investing in the scam and hoping. If the scam stops paying, they lose either way, but if it doesn't they're better off with the 32x returns from the "lending bot" than the 2x from betting with me.

If it lasts for one year I will be happy .The bitconnect team is very efficient and seems to have high technical expertise. That gives me some confidence that they will be around for longer than expected.

They have fulfilled all their roadmaps on time. In 6 months they built a POW/POS crypto currency, an exchange, a website that works smoothly, PC and Mac wallets, ios and android wallets, lending programs, their BCC token grew from $1 to $120. I think it's quite an achievement

its impossible to know for sure if they have this trade bot or not, if you do a little research you will find that big banks and institutions create trade bots all the time that operate at a profit daily. but these are multi billion dollar institutions that have the resources to create such things
so at the end of the day you have to ask yourself if this bitconnect company really has this ability? also keep in mind they say they are trading crypto, not on wall street where there is much more liquidity and less volatility.
remember mt gox? mintpal? bitfinex in 2016? bter in 2015? all 3rd party exchanges that were hacked.... so not only does an investor have to worry about the chance of it being a ponzi but also the risk of bitconnect getting hacked.
its really been marketed and put out there as an MLM thing (maybe not their intention) but the truth, hence why i think most investors don't understand the risk associated.
one thing i wonder is what they will do if their bot ceases to yield a profit? would they quit accepting loans and notify people to make sure everyone gets their loans back?...i mean they would still have BCC which has been developed and kept up with.

Everything is fine ? I have send BTC this morning and never received. And now "server maintenance" like MTGox... It's a scam or they have been pirated Do you guys also realize that Control Finance is also down? It happened about 39 minutes after Bitconnect announced that their site was down for maintenance on their twitter feed

BCC Exchange DOWN
I was predicting that this huge ponzi scheme will collapse. And not only me, a lot of people posted that bitconnect is a SCAM Nobody was listening.
You know you're gonna feel like an ass when it's back up and running later today.
