butcon

A computer user interface control that appears to be a standard button, but is actually does unexpected things when clicked. From "button that cons", not the contraction of "button control". The con comes from altering the expected behaviour of a button - from DOING something, to ASKING something.

A "line width" butcon in a paint program is a UI button that opens a drop-down selector for various line widths. Programmer should have used a specific drop-down UI control instead to provide visual hints to the user that clicking the UI control will open a drop-down.

Bitcon Scheme

term to describe the Ponzi-like schemes of the cryptocurrency world, especially in terms of bitcoin; gets its name from "bit" as in "digital", and "con" as a twist on "coin", and to describe the type of scheme (so "digital coin" -> "digital con").

Used as an alternative to "Ponzi" because cryptocurrency adherants argue that only fiat currency is used as the ROI for early investors in Ponzi schemes, contrary to the imagined value of cryptocurrencies being used as the ROI in the cryptocurrency world.

"Mark lost all his crypto investments because it was all a Bitcon Scheme."

Bitconnect

A cryptocurrency that was largely determined to operate as a Ponzi scheme, reaching a high of about $435 in value during its peak, and hitting a low of $0.89 as of today. Bitconnect has a lending platform with promises of returns that are generally regarded as unsustainable, causing people to argue that the returns are merely based on new funding put into the platform rather than the actual generation of profit. Suspiciously, the founders of this platform are anonymous. The SEC and possibly other U.S. government agencies are investigating this cryptocurrency.
