This topic proved to me that everyone is looking for easy and quick profit without even the slightest effort in searching, meaning if a platform offers bitcoin at a price of 20 thousand, you will find many people registering with it and even verifying identity in order to buy bitcoin at a cheaper price and make a quick profit despite That the whole process is a scam and that's exactly what happened now.
This platform has been scamming for a long time yet many people trust it and want to try it out.
There're always some people doing interest arbitrage with the unrealistic idea of getting some money from that but as far as I know, people around me all turned out to be fooled by this kind of platform(one of my friends fell for shitcoin once). These platforms are no fools, instead, they are sparing no effort to fool those who attempt to play tricks on the platforms, maybe as a punishment. How could someone go and tell you that: hey, come to my exchange and buy some cheap Bitcoin...business are for earning money after all!
Clearly someone has been trapped in HitBTC:

Those platforms may run away with all the money raised at any moment, why trust it?
Another possibility is that their price seems lower than the market, luring users to sign up, but actually when you really log in, you will find the price is just the same as other exchanges. They doesn't mean to steal your money, just to persuade people into using this platform in a dishonest way.
HitBTC has gained many followers:
