If you were only talking referral income than yes you are correct. Referral money can be taken out and turned into bitcoin. I follow a lot of these big dogs and none of them have zero invested though so they could only take out that referral money but all the other money they have tied into it cannot be taken out for awhile. Most of these guys have 20k-100k locked up in the site so they can't run anywhere anytime soon.
I am one of the people doing videos of my journey. I have $6500 invested so far with $973 in profit getting about $80-$100 a day profit and only $49 of my earnings are from referrals. I have money in Steem too and I plan to use some of my BCC profits to buy more steem for the long haul. I hope to have an account as big as yours one day. I'll get there for sure :)

Lol no need to eat catfood man, I'm not sure of anything accept I'm receiving my money everyday. Thats the only thing I'm sure of. Will it last, who the hell knows. I'm not sure if any of this will last. As far as Bitconnect creating these special accounts and paying people off to show fake amounts of money in order to bring the masses in, sure anythings possible. What I won't say is it will or won't last because I can't see the future. People said bitcoin won't last too.

Thanks man, much appreciated!
