In a statement released by Bitconnect on the 17th January 2017, the platform has closed its lending platform with immediate affect. The platform did release all users current loans on the platform to the bitconnect wallet at a price of $363.62.
Inevitably the market value of bitconnect coin has gone through the floor with this news as investors rushed to sell off and salvage any money they could from their investments. This has left many, including myself losing thousands of pounds from thier investments in minutes.
What now?
There are two things that can be done now - we can either accept this and cut our losses OR we can accept what has happened BUT STAND TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY and COME TOGETHER TO FORM A SOLUTION TO RECUPERATE OUR LOSSES
How can we do this?
Bitconnect has an absolutely huge community. The idea is to use this community and it’s spirit to build our own coin, a fork from the current blockchain. A snapshot of the blockchain will be taken either from the date of capital release (17/01/2018) or some other date (date to be confirmed and decided within the community) - THIS WILL NOT BE A LENDING PLATFORM!
How can you help?
There are a few things that we will need to take this idea and make it a reality. The most important of which is HELP SPREAD THE WORD, INVITE YOUR FRIENDS
What do we need?
Marketing: We need to spread the word with this if this is to be a success - we have a strong community.
DO YOU HAVE A LARGE TWITTER, INSTAGRAM, YOU TUBE OR FACEBOOK FOLLOWING? DO YOU HAVE A BITCONNECT SPECIFIC WEBSITE/GROUP?
WE NEED YOUR HELP
Developers: If you think you can help with this project do get in touch (looking for web developers, programmers ect)
Miners: If the community decided that the forked coin will be mined we will need to get miners on board for this.
Influencers: If you have a large following or are an please reach out. IN PARTICULAR THE COMMUNITY WOULD BENEFIT FROM THE BACKING OR COVERAGE FROM TOP YOUTUBE PROMOTERS: CRAIG GRANT, CRYPTONICK, TREVON JAMES, BIT JUNKY, CRYPTOTOM - TOO MANY TO MENTION
