I just worked out that the uk site I mentioned was from BlackShadow Coin https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/x11-powpos-blackshadowcoin-bs-1629087
Don't know anything about that tbh but it 's curious they are using the same text as bitconnect. Not sure if they are connected at all or he just copied the site. Also, the bot wording seems nothing to do with their own lending platform either like I originally thought.
Originally bitconnect had this https://bitconnect.co/system-news/11/finally-the-waiting-is-over-the-dispatcher-is-switched-on but maybe it was some other type of lending and not peer to peer like I thought but they definitely didn't have BCC at that point as it was around March 2016.

Hi,
I'm not any expert on any of this by any means but is it possible that they are not a Ponzi scheme? They used to be a peer to peer lending site, I think, as I pointed out with previous links. Remember that people who harbour negativity are usually doing so from a traumatised perspective and will need something to be against (it is like a delusion that prevents their anxiety, using scapegoating etc). A lot of people don't realise that it's very hard to change people's mind in this state once they decide it's true as it helps them psychologically to feel that way and they actually believe it strongly even when evidence is presented on the contrary. What I'm getting at is I'm not trying to change the mind of anyone who might think it's definitely a scam, just I'm not totally sure that it is. It is recruiting in lots of countries: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUOUg52Zscc for lots of investment. People who have held the coin for nearly a year or so have made ridiculous gains (even ten times increase from a few months back when people on here were claiming it was a scam- can you imagine how much people in bitconnect are actually making who have been promoting it more than a couple of weeks and getting daily interest in huge numbers now), not to mention the coin itself has 8% monthly interest!
Ways they could make money on the platform are through their own exchange (after all most charge a commission at least of about 0.25% of all volume but not sure about the profits bitconnect take from its exchange), and also if they are sure the coin price is going to rise (through their marketing efforts) then when people 'lend' their coin, they are giving up all this growth (which bitconnect can calculate to decent degree based on their new registrations and payments coming in) and also the 8% a month growth in the coin algorithm. So this percentage return they are giving on the 'lending', could just be their calculation of the growth of the coin and that they expect that the cost to return the coin later will be zero (despite ostensibly giving ridiculous interest rates).
For some figures, say the coin stays the same value (which we know it does not as their platform causes it to gain in value) if people lend the coin and say get up to 140% the amount, we also have to add in the affiliate income which overall probably comes to about 10% on average over all the levels on all BCC deposits (7% on level one) but remember the 8% monthly coin interest actually negates this as this coin is still held by bitconnect when you lend it, just you give up on its natural growth in return for guaranteed USD growth. So say that in a month the people lending the coin have gained 50% over the coin (cos the coin didn't go up in value at all so would need to be paid 1.5X the BCC when exchanging back from USD) which would be an overestimate based on all this, then if you think this 50% extra isn't possible for them to earn on the exchange volume or other possible bot (from old or projected new customers that they can accurately calculate), then it's true it would be a Ponzi. That neglects the fact that they have been earning close to 10% monthly interest on all their premined coins and have millions of them so can probably afford to give 50% extra coins in return for a long time without others losing out. I am not sure exactly how it works but even if they got careless and let this 50% per month shortfall happen for a while, it would still be possible for them to pay the 50% extra BCC a month when users exchange the dollars back. Reealistically, they would normally make sure the lending interest rate was lower when they can't cover the costs without more members coming in than they predict (remember all these new members are using the exchange and giving them some percentage profit at least from that which they can calculate quite well). At the moment they must have lots of BCC reserves and have no problems, and they can probably calculate that their coin is going up and are not losing out.
In fact, at the moment they are making money when people lend the coin as they only need to give a fraction of the coin back later. For example if the coin doubles in a month (from their calculations) then, although the USD cost to them becomes 1.5x the original amount in a month (from my exaggerated calculations), this only equates to 0.75x the original lent BCC so they may actually be making a large profit on their current lending rates. Does anyone see what I'm trying to say? They are obviously not selling their coin into BTC yet as they know it is growing in value, and they might actually be making profits from the investment plan, despite it looking like they can't afford it.

I quit reading at the point where I highlighted. Dude, you are one stupid motherfucker! But consider yourself lucky, for now I'M GONNA HUNT YOUR ASS DOWN AND EXIT YOU FROM THE GENE POOL !!!
Noticed another site with similar terms as posted by gleb: http://ukbitcoin.info/index.php# notice the same volatility bot but again this seems to be on their own lending platform so probably possible to profit from it:

Wow all this Ponzi and scheme talks about this coin but yet its going no where but up. I still don't understand the special value of BCC?
Definition of a Ponzi - a form of fraud in which belief in the success of a nonexistent enterprise is fostered by the payment of quick returns to the first investors from money invested by later investors.
How the hell is Bitconnect a ponzi if they are using trading bots much like Wall Street to do thousands of trades a second and take the profits made and pay a percentage back to the investors??

If bitconnect created trading bot that can manage 40% monthly income than I'm sure bitconnect team must be awarded with nobel prize in economics 2017 ! WTF are you talking about dude
They're already Ponzi Prize Laureates in Ponzinomics.
Would you say the BitConnect Ponzi is so brilliant that it will still be running after months or years to come? If so then you should invest now to get rich even if you would know its 100 percently a ponzi scheme

Hey, since I like you, I'll do you a favor. Here's another venerable outfit that you can get your Oma to invest ALL her pension and yourself to invest in. I already vetted them and they meet all your criteria in being an up-and-up entity - their CEO is anonymous and they use the same content as BitConnect:

You are dude.. You are promoting this ponzi scheme and the trust rating on your profile shows that very well.

What happened a few days ago with their android app is kind of weird: they apparently removed it from the Play Store due to logo issues. Now if you try to open the app it tells you to update to the new "ABC" version redirecting you to an inexistant play store id... You can't use the app anymore. Why couldn't they just push an update without the logo instead of disabling the app? Very strange... or was their app removed for some other reason?
Shit's about to hit the fan before this weekend. HAHAHA
The app and the website going down is additional red flags on this thing. There are a hundred other red flags with it. I am not saying it will crash but "if" it does, it will be in the blink of an eye and everybody's money will be gone. There are soo many Youtubers pumping Bitconnect and saying how much money they making. You aren't making money if it disappears. The wise ones will recoup their initial investment and then some instead of continual reinvestment.

SHits about to hit the fan since a couple month now but so far bitconnect is breaking every record in the crypto World
I would like to open a Bitcoin / Crypto consulting office for bitconnect
The branch office is only used for consulting purposes where we explain how Bitconnect works and also give Bitcoin info about Bitcoin in general.
I also set up a Bitcoin ATM in the Filliale.
The first store opens in Munich
What do I have to pay attention to?
