That is exactly what I meant by 'dead'. I know that Open bazaar is growing but for now there is almost nothing I would like to buy there.
I think they need more years to be able to compete with fiat based marketplaces - or they will be gone before that would happen.
It wont be dead, there is demand for open source projects.
People are tired of paying bandit fees to middleman, plus its open source so anyone can pickup the project and continue it if their license allows it.
