Cursed Crypto: Bitcoinneeeect!

What’s Bitconnect beyond the meme? Hermi dives into the crypto vault to pull out cursed clips and the stories behind them. Behind this meme is a multibillion-dollar scam. Bitconnect was a crypto platform between 2016 and 2018 that promised a 1% return daily on people’s investments. So, if you put $1,000, you would end up with more than $37,000 after a year. Would I put my money after hearing that? (meme impression) Hmm hmm hmm. No, No, No. But people bought it. Bitconnect had gotten so big that its own coin was valued at $3 billion at its peak. But, surprise, surprise... Bitconnect was a Ponzi scheme that pulled $2.4 billion from investors. So far, only one major player has gone to jail, and its founder is still missing, and only $56 million will be paid back to the victims. As for this guy, the US authorities never went for him because, apparently, he was a victim too. Ironic So, that’s why you should always do your research because if it sounds too good to be true...
