OK so you mean to tell me the stock market is not a pyramid scheme? Thats hilarious, so when an IPO of a tech company going public(lets say facebook, twitter or google for an example but the list goes on and on) goes to all the big banks and special mega rich and their celebrity friends for pennies per stock and by the time it gets to Joe Blow Bluecollar for 87 dollars a stock, that is not a pyramid scheme? Please. Just stop it. To your last point I say this, whether Bitconnect is a scam or not a scam, is a pyramid scheme or actually happen to stumble upon the greatest trading algorithm known to man(yea right). WHO CARES, the fact is, IT IS WORKING RIGHT NOW and making people tons of money. So I say why not take advantage of that, be smart about only putting in money you are willing to lose, and roll the dice and make as much money as you can for as long as Bitconnect is in operation. That is how I see it, i'm taking advantage of whatever it is, and it is making me money (and i dont even use referrals). So ride the gravy train as long as you can. If you keep reinvesting and take advantage of compounding the interest you could get out with a nice chunk of change. Or the site could go down indefinitely next week. Who knows, but it does work now so roll the dice and try and get your piece.
