Hi yippy,
There were multiple signs that bitconnect shutdown was a matter of time. Most of their users ignored them because they were blinded by the high reward + on social media platforms it was pushed a lot by the shills who only wanted your money (referral system).
Take this as a lesson and next time do your due diligence.
All the best!
p.s.: you can check this post, it's about an other user that lost over 30k
