I'm not trying to sell BitConnect in anyway, I think it should always be on the individual to do their research and decide for themselves.

I did just that in July this year with my initial loan of $100 that has grown to $500. I have had my money back several times over. I only have one person in my down line who also invested $100.

Now you can argue that I would have profited more if I had invested directly in bitcoin. But hindsight is a wonderful thing, the fact is when you invest in BitConnect you forgo the option of profiting directly from bitcoin but you also insulate yourself from incurring losses when the price moves against you.
