As I recall, there were some very prominent Steemians who sang the praises of BitConnect, too.

I stayed well clear of it because the math just didn't add up-- that rejection wasn't based on BitConnect, though, but on almost 30 years of studying and writing about the network marketing industry. It was one of those that might keep going as long as BTC kept doubling on a regular basis, but when BTC started doing more of a sideways dance then things at BCC just couldn't make sense anymore.
