Bitconnect dudes are having a nice time now spending that millions they have taken away from all that IDIOTS who was believing in FREE MONEY and fairy tales. Me and many other people on this forum were predicting that this huge ponzi scheme will collapse soon, but nobody was listening and here is the RESULT !
Am I the only one who worked out that Bitconnect are profiting hugely from the lending rates (they are paying people less money than the growth of their coin)? As long as they can predict the growth, they can afford to give these interest rates and profit from them. Even the minimum rates for higher deposits (0.25% daily bonus for highest deposits) are not excessive, since they do actually get interest from the BCC itself that members deposit of MORE than this rate (8% per month staking interest currently is built into the coin and members give this growth up too when lending into USD and locking it away for a period) but this should be paying the affiliates and that is where their massive reserves of BCC come in and they are gaining lots of interest there! This platform is not a ponzi, they are making profit. I keep trying to explain to people on here, but they don't understand. While they can stabilise the coin price and not make it reduce in value (which their platform is well set up to do), they can make money for both themselves and the investors without even having any bot trading for them which is the ironic thing about their marketing.
I actually feel a bit bad for selling my 30 tokens I bought for 0.008 for 0.021 (made $1600 profit) as they are now worth a lot more (could have made an extra $1300). Anyway, I'm now going to deposit the profit into bitconnect AS IT IS NOW OPERATIONAL AGAIN. I'm guessing there will be some angry people who are currently suspended who accidentally withdrew too much due to the bugs but they are probably doing the right thing allowing access to people who didn't have any problem with that.
As I said before, you are making up facts that don't make sense and you don't know are true. It isn't that hard for Bitconnect to prove they are solvent and have a trading bot. Since they can't do that, it's perfectly logical to assume they are
not solvent and their bot does
not exist. Go ahead and dump more coins into it if you want, but don't go claiming you've "worked out" how they are profitable when you do not have proof.
The only way they are not in profit is if someone is stealing the cash (which is why I am interested in how much the bug cost them in funds). They should be using their profits as a reserve in USD preferably (in case of BTC problems) to buy BCC for when they are struggling to keep the coin price up (since obviously the coin has inflation built in for a while, they always need to increase its perceived value). It's not hard to work out they are profiting, just from looking at the graph on coinmarketcap of their coin value. When members exchange BCC into USD they give that growth up (also reducing sell pressure by locking it away) even though their capital is guaranteed plus variable interest which so far is greater than 30% per month I think but this is less than the coin has been increasing in value so bitconnect are making a killing in profits (by the time people exchange dollars in the lending wallet into BCC, the people are GETTING LESS BCC even though they are getting more dollars). They probably own nearly half of the BCC too (not including their liabilities for investors) and are making huge amounts in staking interest on that. The only worry is if the people managing it do not really know what they are doing and are being careless.
If you think the price increase of BCC is profitable to Bitconnect, you are right. The mistake you are making is you are, by your own definition, considering this a huge multimillion almost billion dollar
pump and dump, which will cause a huge loss to investors. This seems more like a ponzi scheme. They kind of have the same idea with the exception of how they operate. The money that Bitconnect is paying has to come from somewhere, and the bot is the only reason people are buying BCC to begin with and the reason the price is rising. You can't just become "profitable" by a price increase, they have liabilities that need to be paid, a stream of income that is greater than expenses. Their liabilities add up to 40% per month, which assuming the bot does not exists makes this a ponzi scheme. If they are simply selling their BCC reserves to new investors like you suggest, I suppose that would make it a pump and dump with a high degree of fraud.
If they had really found such a great way to make so much money, they wouldn't need the public to fund them. They would have gone straight to an angel investor, bank or hedge fund and got more money than they asked for. Why didn't they do this? Because that would require answering all the questions that I have already asked. This is why they are only targeting the public who are financially unsophisticated, and don't know what questions to ask and are therefore easy prey. Bitconnect is already breaking US securities law by refusing to reveal such information. All these BCC now fall under SEC regulation. Their servers are located in San Francisco and they will be shutdown unless they comply.
I honestly don't know how people can keep defending and promoting this coin. It's illegal. Who's the CEO? Who are the shareholders? You're defending a faceless company. Really? Because they have a working platform that can show your money going up? Show me a different successful anonymous company. How much lower are you willing to go? Look what happened when their exchange went down. The price tanked 75% immediately. Sure shows a lot of confidence when people are going to dump your coin like that.
Just be aware that you are part of a cult. You believe because you want to, not because anyone has proven something to you. All cults are fake. I don't know how to put it in kinder words for you. You will lose.
