The reason people don't understand Bitconnect is because they don't understand wall street. Every banking fund uses trading bots on wall street today. They use them because they are guaranteed money. Short the lows and sell on the highs. Instant decisions can be made by the computer to make money.
Today, bots can be bought and developed to a HIGH DEGREE of success rate for as little as $5k. You can even get a bare bones system for around $250 now days. Haas bots sells them pretty cheap.
If anyone thinks bitconnect is a ponzi, you are fooled into how they are really making money.VOLATILITY! The same way wall street does.
