Opinion vs. Fact

in #bitconnect7 years ago

I still cannot believe the number of posts on here, and everywhere else for that matter, that seem to be mixing up opinion with fact. In this particular case I am referring to the posts regarding Bitconnect.
I am a firm believer in everyone is entitled to express their opinions about anything they like, but the majority of these posts are stating their opinions as if they were facts, and this is just wrong.

I am not going to sit here and tell you that I know for a fact that Bitconnect is not going to end up being a scam/Ponzi scheme, because there is no way that I could know with 100% certainty. I can tell you that as a participant of the Bitconnect lending platform, Bitconnect continues to deliver everything they have promised; which by the way, does not include any type of guaranteed daily interest rate. As a matter of Fact their Terms of Service specifically states that "Members should note that there is no guarantee of daily profit for lending". Lenders are required to accept the Terms of Service before every loan.

See the difference between fact and opinion? That was taken directly from the Terms of Service on the Bitconnect website. It's not something that I heard someone say in a video or article.

I still cannot believe the number of posts on here, and everywhere else for that matter, that can't recognize a scam when they see one. Don't come crying to us when BitConnect collapses and you watch your capital evaporate, because you were warned.

I take full responsibility for what I choose to do with my money. I won't cry to anyone if Bitconnect ends up failing and especially no one on here. No one bothered to warn me when I lost 60% of my "totally legit" 401K in 2008. Even afterward, I don't remember any one spreading how much of a scam the 401K was.

You have your opinion and I have mine, all I was saying is for people not to spread their opinions as fact.
