Everyone has a bucket list, generally full of exciting and exhilarating things, however - most people never have the chance to tick everything off. This is because they put some un-achievable things on there, such as:
- Live a happy life.
- Fine the perfect partner.
- Have kids that aren't arseholes.
- Effect positive change in the world.
This is why I made mine relatively simple, some items from mine:
- Live to 30.
- Have a job.
- Own a cat.
- Join a Ponzi Scheme.
Its the last one of these that I wish to talk to you all about.
I always heard of people getting screwed over in Ponzi schemes and thought that for all the people getting screwed someone must be making a mint and surely it will be easy to read the signals and back out before this happens (or maybe not) and hopefully make some money.
I got all excited with the bitcoin hype so bought some a few weeks back (which is such a mission here in New Zealand, I had to trade 2 sheep for 0.042 of a Bitcoin!). After 7 minutes still having made zero profit I was restless and began thinking about what Feltch and Zambo (the sheeps names) had given up their lives for. I decided it was finally time to do something with my vast crypto empire.
So first I googled hot pictures of Emma Watson then decided it was time to get serious. A quick search of bitcoin ponzi and I found my self at bitconnect.
Now before you get all precious saying its not a Ponzi and their trading bot is the beez kneez etc - I don't care because I am almost 55% certain it is. Plus I actually spent my money their so I can complain about it, much like if paid for a meal promising succulent lamb chops but instead get served mutton (no offence to Feltch and Zambo).
So you have to invest 100USD to get started, I sent some bitcoin there and turns out there exchange rates for their coins are outer wack so had to sent another 40NZD (New Zealand Dula). I ended up having 120USD there so just chucked it all across and at this stage was officially part of my first Ponzi scheme.
I then checked every 45 seconds to see if I was rich or if it was still running. My money is locked in for 299 days at which time I can transfer my original capital to a BCC(Bit Coin Connect) wallet and then sell for Bitcoin and end up having less bitcoin than what I sent there in the first place (if BTC keeps at its current rate or continues to grow).
Sounds great right? Well to be fair so far I have made 4.26USD over 5 days (averaged over the year would be returns of 259%) so I might be ok to at least get my original capital back (if it runs that long).
I really don't suggest anyone joins Bitconnect as it is higher risk than is already associated with the volatile crypto market... wait uh I mean yeah join Bitconnect its friggen mint as!
