Thats how it starts, first they give you a cookie. Then it gets harder and harder to get your money out and one day, then poof! It's gone. There are a lot of Bitconnect preechers all over the crypto forums promising things that may not come to be true. This new site Bitinstantive is doing something very similar although they haven't specified how ROI is being generated.
Bitconnect was one of the fastest growing communities in 2016 catching eye of potential startups to follow suit. These newer types of Cryptos (BCC) are paving the way for newer and existing Altcoins to skyrocket in Price since its initial IPO release. These substantial gains may be enough to payout the early adopters but will eventually bring bigger investors to the table after more faith in the customer community is established.
Bitinstantive has a 1$ minimum investment, which differs from Bitconnects 100$ minimum. Within its release of the last 3 days Bitinstantive raised a little over 3,000$ and paid out investors 300$. They also offer a much more generous return than Bitconnect which may subject to change.
Since they have a pyramid based referral program the early referees may be able to use this opportunity to safely invest assuming the site follows the path of Bitconnect.
I'm not part of either Bitconnect or Bitinstantive but I would definitely wait for more review from Bitinstantive before investing.
