From Psychology 101 back in college, I recall that the "random reward scheme" is the one most likely to train an animal (which includes people). Your analysis of the variable daily returns sounds very similar; thanks!
I wrote something up a few months ago which to me showed that BitConnect is a scam and I'll be lucky to get my investment back out. I chose the top tier, so I'll be out in a month and a half or so, if it's still around.
Since my investment came from BTC, I likely won't get the full investment back. Had I started in dollars it might be more attractive. I'm glad this is my only exposure, and to Craig Grant, karma works, just sometimes very slowly.
