I Got Scammed on Bitconnect

in #bitconnect7 years ago

I got burned, so burned! Probably because I am a newbie to crypto so I thought this loan thing was an exciting venture. The “passive income” hook just seemed too good…and I guess it was.

I know many people out there got hit way more than I did, like thousand of pounds. I would hate to know how much in total people have lost.

So I put in £200 aaaaaannnnd lost it. I kept reinvesting for a few weeks and bam.

I had never considered an exit plan. I had no idea this kind of thing could happen.

I was following Youtubers like Ryan Hilldrith and Crypto Nick believing that what they were saying was sound. I thought If I did this I would be set up for life!

Nope…I had my tokens back in BCC but by that time their worth had plummeted big time. I looke to what others were doing. Some were HODLing, others found a way to transfer the BCC to an exchange to purchase other coins.

I spent two thirds of the BCC on these coins on Hitbtc:

ATS authorship token
BCN bytecoin
CAT bitclave
CL coin lancer
DIM dim coin
DOGE dogecoin
LIFE life coin
SKIN skin coin
XDN digital note

I am really hoping these go up throughout the year so I can make my money back. We shall have to wait and see. What are your thoughts on these coins?

I did keep a third back just as a chance to see if people begin buying BCC although right now I really doubt it. It had hit rock bottom now so even if I did sell, I would get micro crypto’s worth.

Anyone out there still HODLing BCC? If you got burned, what did you do with your loss?

Approximately 150-200 million were lost with bitconnect, not counting profits shown on their plaftorm, just principal

Gee whizz that is alot of money. A lot of lives have been wrecked because of this. Mind you we all knew that there was a risk doing this. I am glad i did not put in any more.
