I agree there is no reason to make them 100% guilty, but I still don't understand the hype around this useless garbage things. Why people buy it?
It's a pure pumped thing. Nothing behind it, no development.
People that started early are making money by referring people and those people need to refer other people to get money and so on. A very standard ponzi scheme. People defend it just because they are already too deep in it and they need to refer people to make money otherwise they would loose it... endless cycle.
I hate CMC for taking money from Bitconnect and putting those shitty ads on their site. I rather use coincodex.com from now on, and so should others if you don't support Bitconnect
