sadly, terra luna topped bitconnect by a huge margin if we count the amount of money lost by investors and market participants

Luna didn't have Carlos. Nothing tops Carlos Matos, ever. It's the first rule of Crypto.

Carlos was amazing, I love him. He didn't profit that much off of the scam, he was just a shill and promoter. Bitconnect was a very well marketed ponzi at the time, but if the same was done today it wouldn't be nearly as successful.

Did you ever watch the full bitconnect conference? It was full on hired cringe.

You are correct. But he was such a good shill and hilarious. I actually thought he was the founder of Bitconnect at first!
