Unfortunately, schemes like this are very appealing for non-technological people, who are mainly into BTC for a profit.
They don't have the technological knowledge to start a mining ridge,. Nor can they determine if a certain ICO is legitimate or not.
And jus holding BTC in a wallet isn't exciting for them. Because they hear about the great profits that everyone has made.
So then they and up with a scam like this.
Agreed. The funny thing is that if you had bought and held btc you would have out performed the bit connect trading bot. Bcc token would have eclipsed even this though, but just look at what happened when their website went offline for a few days during the ‘hack’.
