I have a folder of more than 20 dead coins that I mined from back in the Scypt and X11 clone days. Some of those, like the country coins were pumped to hell and back and if you had invested directly in the coin, your investment today is worth zero or peanuts compared to what they traded for,
Ok now I understand, those were not the times to buy. Unless there was a greater fool. Just like ICO's today...
Show me something that went to zero after 8/2015.
