BitConnect is an obvious scam to everyone, including those recommending it to you because they are making referral money off of you when you join and lend. Yet it's number 10 on the market list.
Greed is in full effect when people don't care about what they are involved in and boast about making money off the ignorance of the unsuspecting and inexperienced. Then people wonder why markets are so volatile. They wonder why crypto carries a bad reputation.
I'll extend this to the 'Bitcoin as a store of wealth' crowd who think BTC has a hope in hell of being worth anything if people just buy it to sit on. The reward halves for a reason, to stimulate transaction fee returns in the future on a larger, more robust network, eventually replacing new coin rewards. That can only be done by increasing use of it, not decreasing it by hoarding. If you want your crypto to have value, it MUST serve a purpose, and you should not only spread the word about it to everyone, but use it and be a part of its community. Be the example. If you sit on it, it dies.
