I agree there are red flags. I didn't say it wasn't a ponzi scheme, I said it wasn't a ponzi scheme "exactly". There is a unique difference with bitconnect, where the value is backed by a real coin on a publicly traded blockchain. I'm saying it's NOT a scam, I'm just saying we don't know... it's something new that we haven't seen before and it's an interesting discussion. 1% payouts aren't all that crazy when they're holding bitcoin (up 10% from yesterday) and they're holding their own coin (up 8% from yesterday).

> There is a unique difference with bitconnect, where the value is backed by a real coin on a publicly traded blockchain Ponzi mechanics have nothing to do with how the scheme's reserves are held. > it's something new that we haven't seen before Unfortunately, it's not. It's either a scam or a scheme so incompetent that it is practically identical to a scam.
