What a naive and bogus statement. "officially" dead?? Anyhow, I believe, there's nothing like a dead coin, as long as it is still tradeable on an exchange. Just takes a blink of an eye to be pumped up again and all those opportunists will jump on board.
What a naive and bogus post. Did you even read the OP??? Probably not. You'd see it's from 2014 when LTC had problems positioning itself.
