I don't know how anyone would react to this but for me, it was not an easy thing to handle.
Most of the people on steemit know about bitconnect, many invested in it and many remained out of it.
On 16th Jan, I woke up to this news and I could feel myself unable to stand on my feet properly as I couldn't digest it.So many people had warned me about bitconnect that it is a scam and I also knew it. What I had in mind was that they will not exit this early.
But they did and left me with more than $4000 worth of bitconnect token which no one was ready to buy. Yes, you read right, I lost like 4k and it is a hell of a lot of money.
With the news of stopping their lending program and release of the whole bitconnect token, it crashed and fell like crazy to $40 from $300. I tried to sell it on external exchanges but couldn't as they had stopped accepting new registrations and one didn't send me verification lint till now.
Yes, it was a hard time for me and I knew about it but was not just ready for the news at that time.It was one of the reasons which kept me away from steem too so I didn't post any blog in last 6 days.
Next day we got an update from bitconnect that they have opened their internal exchange and also accepting it on their new platform with the price of $150/bitconnect. It was a sign of relief for me. I was like "Something is better than nothing"
For the last three days, I have been trying to buy bitconnectX token as for me that is the wise decision at the moment but no luck.Whenever I go and check get the message that they have reached the daily limit so better luck next time.
I live in Asia, so have time zone problem, Now I am planning to wake up today at 5 am according to my time which is equal to 12 am UTC, so hope to get them this time.195
Have you lost or anyone you know about? What is his/her story and how much they lost?
