The promise to double your BTC pretty much guarantees that it is a ponzi scheme or exit scam.
If it is a scam:
- You're not alone
- You have learned a valuable lesson
- It's never too late to invest small amounts regularly. The market is only going up.
I'm guessing that you have to exchange gladiacoin back into BTC in order to withdraw your funds? That's how BitConnect and other ponzi's work; they force you to use a coin and an exchange which they control.
Best bet is to hope other people want to buy into it and you can recover your BTC. Good luck!
I don't know if it is worse to know that people are taken every day by Ponzi schemes or if this is just a horrible and expensive lesson that I learned. Thanks for sharing the information with me.
Gladia Coin is a big scam, stay away! I personally put in money, and lost over 4 Bitcoin. They had promised to repay the initial investment, and over 1 month later I am still stuck with big losses. Very disappointed.
