You're dead right there on both points! Bitconnect will have enough cash to keep it going for a long time I reckon. Probably another year if the UK government doesn't shut them down soon (tricky answers to produce I reckon). Bitconnect seems to me like it'll go down in history as the best ever ponzi. It's enormous in scale. I hope it's not for those involved, but don't see anything to the contrary. I notice they put everything on hold during the last dip also.

That could be what Sierrahash is planning, but they should be savvy enough to see they have been called out already. I think they left some BTC in the account to see if they could restart it, but thankfully the deposits seem to be slowing down a bit now.

Yeah, if these sites don't have Twitter, Facebook, Reddit and messaging to users, that will be on purpose!
