Well this is only true because Bitcoin have been in a bull run, that was not to be known before hand.

Bitcoin have before had 2-3 years bear market... Anyway Bitconnect is looking pretty solid, all though I agree it is centralized... Bitconnectx probably going to be one of the biggest ICOs ever, because Bitconnect have 1,5 million happy costermers with a lot of money to spend and a brand, something that maybe only EOS had... most ICOs are based on no history, this BitconnectX is different, no matter if you like to hate it or not.
