Maybe you've noticed, maybe its gone under the radar for you. But the coin of much controversy, the lending platform that houdinied savings for thousands of people, yes, that coin, is not dead, it's still around. Now, I'm not saying it's doing good, I'm not even saying I'm happy it is, at this point I'm just surprised more than anything. How come a coin that pulled the infamous exit scam is still being traded?

The story of how we got here in the first place has been told so many times, It's almost not worth retelling. But suffice to say, last year, 2017, was the year of ridiculous exuberance, the year were anything just seemed to work, you just needed a coin name, some youtube shillers and you had the winning formula.

I kept on seeing bitconnect over and over being shoved in my face daily. Now, this happened not because I was looking at youtubers that supported it, not really. Ads would show up in front of those who warned people about it. It was quite comical to be honest.

Lawsuits Galore

Just in my home state I'm aware of five of them. There are five different lawsuits going on as I type this that if I'm to be honest are likely to go absolutely nowhere. That being said, It's somewhat reasonable that those who lost their life savings would try to do something about it, and I'm not one to burst that bubble for them, at least not in their face.

Recently Trevon James, a youtube personality who is still active on STEEM was summoned to testify. So it's obvious to me this whole legal spaghetti is far from over. But, at this point I doubt even the youtubers with referral links will be found guilty of anything. You would literally have to prove they knew it was a scam, and that does not seem like a simple thing to do. How could you prove what someone was thinking?

BCC Community is still around

They are still holding on, they believe that at some point in time the Bitconnect team will come back, will make everything alright, will deliver their promise, their ICO BitconnectX and somehow the crypto community would embrace them again.

It's obvious, at least to me, that this sounds extremely unicornian. In other words, you are really betting on the craziest, and I do mean craziest of odds. What are the chances that the creators of the ponzi feel compelled to do anything at all? Why would they? When they made so much money, they have no reason to ever lift a finger again.

But this does prove something

Communities are important, more important than we give them credit for. Who would imagine that 8 months after this train wreck happened there would be anyone left? There would be people making T-shirts, selling merch, programming bots for raffles, rains, and what have you on a thriving community in discord? It's mind blowing to me.

But listen, before you get the wrong idea of me. I'm not delusional and have no horse in the game here, nor do I think the horse is going to make it, not at all. But, maybe, just maybe that not the important lesson anyways, at least not this minute.

If you are wondering, BCC has been trading for 40 cents or so these days and 60 cents is considered a crazy pump. Volumes are never more than a couple grand, so it's nothing too impressive either. But, as I've said, there they are, the little communities still dreaming, still hoping that one day they will wake up from the nightmare.
