I've always felt Bitconnect is scam and the following just solidifies my position.
Say you invested $10,010, 120 days ago (about 6.9 BTC), you'd be looking at a pretty nice (approx) 150% gain!- and it would be capital release day!
But if you would have just bought and held Bitcoin for the 120 days you would of saw a 214% gain.
But the most shocking thing is, since Bitconnect returns your capital in USD, you would only get 2.2 bitcoin back of your 6.9 invested. This is due to the dramatic rise in the price of BTC. WTF.
It seem they are banking on the price of BTC will rise. And in the long term, the odds are it will! These dudes are so shady.
