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.
Take it easy. dude. All I'm saying is, that any coin that is still tradeable on an exchange, can never be officially declared dead..I don't need to read the OP for that.
