Eh, maybe. I thought it was in top 50 at some point but maybe I'm mistaken.
We were never in top 50 afaik. I have seen it briefly in top 100 for couple of days in april 2018/2019 I think. Afaik it was always hovering around top 150.
I think really being alive would be staying ahead of garbage like that at least.
Bitconnect was in top 10 at some point also. If there is enough money behind a coin even without development they can stay in top 30 with ease.
I personally think using coinmarketcap is a bad metric to determine if something is garbage or not.
I personally compare github (activity) to see if a coin is dead or not:
