You can always try depositing $100 just to try. As long as you're fine with losing that $100, then go ahead.
Do
not do this. Ponzi schemes are only profitable to their owners for as long as people continue to deposit money into them. A
completely obvious Ponzi scam should not still be getting enough investments to keep running several months down the line.
Most people on this thread
claim to understand that it's a Ponzi scheme, but you do not understand why. Here are the signs:
-Bitconnect's coin can only be bought on their own exchange from your Bitconnect account, plus a couple of small shady exchanges.
-Bitconnect is promising you an increase in
cash value for a cryptocurrency. A cryptocurrency is its own unit and the only thing which Bitconnect could actually promise you is an increase in the amount of Bitconnect coins that you own.
-Issues with "pending support requests"
-Running for a long time without any details of their investment activity
-Their domain is registered with NAMECHEAP, one of the only domain registrars to accept BTC as a payment method, and their whois information is anonymous. They have no regulated company.
