I really don't know much about Bitconnect, but from what I have seen on Steemit articles there are two groups of people, the people who are involved in it and are just promoting it with a lot of hype and then a lot of people who say it will ultimately turn into a scam. I think like you that it is a scam which will ultimatley make a lot of people lose money, of course I would rather be wrong and have it work out good for the people who have put money in it. Also the Carlos video is really bad.
