What makes a coin dead? I would say when it has no active nodes, no trading volume and no development, in that order. Anyone have a different definition?
My second question, why does CMC still list these coins!?!?!?
There are so many causes of coins to die, one of the main causes is from the developer, they cannot solve problems when there is a problem in the wallet. It can also happen because they sell developer coins and make the price of the coin drop dramatically, and the coin holders no longer believe in the developer,
why is CMC still listing the coin? maybe because before that the coin has entered the cmc database and the cmc database has not been updated.
