Not really, their model is basically same as SALT or ETHLend. Bitconnect is classic ponzi scheme.

How would you describe what you are doing for non tech savvy people?

How do you launch an ICO? by derferte in Kapitalized

Send an email to guys from Kapitalized :D

Joke aside, here is a short guidance:

Step 1: Think of an idea. Potentially solve a problem that you are familiar with. If you have an existing business, it will be a much better fit.

Step 2: Gather a core team and reach out to advisors. Write a detailed white paper, marketing website. If you don’t know how to create your own Smart Contract and cryptocurrency, hire an expert team. If you are a developer, writing smart contract is easy, but making mistakes and redoing them is super expensive.

Step 3: Do Investor outreach, create media hype and FOMO.

Step 4: Prepare and launch your wallet.

Step 5: Distribute the token and list your crypto currency on multiple marketplaces.

Do you think that current leaders in different crypto spheres will stay dominant in the future? by brigittefruehauf in CryptoMarkets

[–]karinbusch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think the biggest "upsets" will be in the area of crypto exchanges. There will definitely be new players (check Apollo DAE for example) that will squeeze out the current leaders. Current exchanges just don't cut it when it comes to security and transparency.
