My take is a little different.
But i agree you can't blame bitconnect for doing what it was born to do. And you can take a horse to water but you can't make it drink. So as much as the promoters are douche bags nobody can 100% blame them.
If you are reading this and you lost money in bitconnect im here to tell you 2 things.
Do your own research isnt just a snazzy catchphrase
YOU LOST YOUR MONEY. YOU decided to invest whilst ignoring all of the red flags and YOU put in more than you could afford to lose (if applicable)
