For example doge, I dont understand why he still enjoys such popularity, although he has no value at all. Below the second hundred from the list the number of dead coins increases even more. So you need to limit yourself to analyzing a small but productive amount of coins.
dogecoin has big and solid community in their ecosystem and make doge still valuable even the price is cheaper than other altcoin in the same year developed, like Litecoin, Dash and etc.
that's why doge still alive untill today
