I have recently made an investment with Bitconnect. I am scared for the same reasons you mention in this article, but I also think to myself, that if I survive for 100 days, I will have gotten my original investment back. I have a blog post in which I will write continous updates on how my investment is progressing, and you can read it here: http://www.siggiblog.com/180-day-bitconnect-test/
