The only reason people buy the coin is the "tradebot" that's why the coin survives without it its just another alt with no innovative or special usecase.
And the bot has not yet proven to exist.
The coin has no function in the actual lending as everything is calculated in fiat.
If the Bitconncet site shuts down and just keep the BTC that was lended BCC wont pay for a cup of coffee.
