They couldn't be more different mate.What's the difference between Hex and Bitconnect? They seem very similar and Bitconnect was a horrendous scam
Bitconnect promised returns by using their 'trading bot' to generate profits after you gave them bitcoin, always relying on new people to pay these profits.
In HEX the interest paid comes from inflation that is only paid to stakers. It has a lower inflation rate than BTC and ETH (which has an infinte supply and inflates daily due to miners). It requires no new users to pay this inflation and does not rely on any magical trading algorithm
The bitconnect code had admin keys and was not audited, I believe (although would need to confirm) that they also required you to give up your private keys, meaning everything you had on their platform, they could essentially steal at any time... which they did
In HEX you use your private keys to interact with the HEX smart contract. The HEX smart contract is triple audited and has no admin keys - this means the code can never be changed and is fixed in perpetuity (immutable) and you and only you are in full control of your interactions with the HEX smart contract.
The simplest analogy for HEX I think is that of an ISA/Goverment bond. The ISA pays you higher interest the longer you lock away your money, with penalties existing for withdrawing from your ISA early. This is all HEX does, but removes any middlemen involved and is trustless.
Any questions let me know
