RE: Is BitConnect a Ponzi Scheme? Post#1
Thanks for your account. I learned a thing or two. Yeah. This double coin with accounting in dollars makes it really complicated. I have been trying to figure it out. Definitely, get out! I was trying to figure out if they held funds in BTC or USD. I am sort of trying to figure out if I can predict when it might blow up... based on funds. Any ideas on that? Is there a way to trace the Bitcoin you send in and see if it was held, or sent out right away.
That's a great idea, hadn't thought of that! :) I think that the fall from 5k to 3k might have triggered their exit, but it seems they survived that. Perhaps they're gaining more accounts currently, than they're losing from the price dipping?
I know that the lack of transparency regarding the bot and the principals should have turned me away at the beginning. Duh. Oh well, it was only a test with a minor amount...
And, thinking further on the transaction tracking -- I sent BTC in, then immediately traded it for BCC, so yeah I think it'll be difficult to follow the blockchains for both...
It is relatively easy to find your bitconnect block chain info with your address. https://chainz.cryptoid.info/bcc/ I would think you could use a timestamp of one transaction to find the transaction in the other block chain. I was following a few transactions I saw on youtube; but I did not get that far. I wasn't really sure what I was looking at...
Thank you guys for valuable comments. I have no doubt they keep all the funds in Bitcoin (real funds). They pay back in dollars. One of the reason why they could stay afloat for longer time is because bitcoin price went up. Let's do math.
Bitconnect started around march, 1 bitcoin was around 1000 dollars, now around 4,000 dollars. Let's say I invested 1 bitcoin=1000 dollars. Which is very unlikely, most people started investing in august. But for example sake, lets say I was early investor.
From March till now I should be up around 200%. So my total investment plus profit in dollars is around $3,000. We can add another 500 dollars in compounding. So even even though I made profits in USD, Bitcoin went up at the same time. Bitconnect did not pay real profits to me.
you mean as long as bitcoin goes up in value.. bitconnect will still be around?? As of now.. bitcoin value is $8200.. and still going up.. if the bitcoin still go up in value by 2019.. you mean bitconnect will still probably be around??
Yeah, you’re right. There are two main factors, bicoin price and new money flowing in. Bitcoin price is the main factor rhat bitconnect could last this long, but to be honest, there is still money flowing in.
