In Crypto We Trust – BitConnect’s Vanishing Profits
from The Skillful Art Of Manipulation | Mastering Psychology & Influence · host Joe & Ryan
“In Crypto We Trust” follows the rise and collapse of BitConnect, one of the most infamous crypto lending platforms of the last decade. The story opens in the tense hours before the shutdown, when dashboards flicker and users sense trouble. It then rewinds to the early days when crowds cheered on promoters who promised steady daily interest through a secret trading bot that no one ever saw. As early warnings spread, small investors, students, retirees, and global communities cling to the hope that the system will hold. Instead they face frozen withdrawals, stalled dashboards, and mathematical analysis that exposes the truth. When regulators move in and the company shuts down, billions in value vanish in a single day. The series shows how guaranteed profits fueled a global belief and how that belief cracked under pressure. It closes with the fallout that reshaped families, communities, and the wider crypto world. It is a clear and human account of what happens when trust meets a promise that could never be kept.
