Courious about this just because the tops are always for the Best or the moust profitable .. what if we know the worst ones .. in your opinion ?

I am still in research fase, but what I saw is that doge coin is one that everyone laugh at , still not sure though because i saw it has quite a good market cap.

The worst altcoin that I have bought last year was FALCOIN for $150 and coinmarketcap has removed it to their list because it was a scam and yes, I was scammed. I was a newbie trader in the market and I did not know that there is a worthless coin.

Errr , we should probably have also such .. signals to call them about these scams .. but i know it's very hard to know the insides of each coin .. all we know is the outsite design and the marketing arround ..

DIMCOIN... only broken promises, no communication from dev team....

Hi, I am just wondering what are the factors that make an altcoin "the worst"?

Is it probably because of the Developer team not making anymore updates?

How about, is it because it has the least people that are making profit from it?

Or maybe because of the price of the coin is not reaching what is speculated/expected?

If you can answer this guide question, other people may answer your question easier.

Since the word "worst" is vague if you don't have any factors that can be determined to apply a judgment to the specific altcoin.

Well it depends on how you define worst because for the worst altcoins are those who just copy other cryptocurrency features or provides. like stellar lumens is just a copy of ripple and all those hard fork coins including hard fork coins of altcoins because they dont really have any use in the community. its is just to make money out of thin air. you cannot define a coin just because its value is lower than any other cryptocurrency because a lot of coins out there are overvalued.

Please define what do you consider by the term "the worst". The worst technology, worst market adoption, worst scam? For example, doge coin is in some way amongst the worst (no development) but in some ways among better ones (has a huge market cap. without any technical development whatsoever - how great is that?).

Let's put it this way. When you say that one movie is the worst movie of the year, do you take into consideration all the movies, or dod you take into consideration only those that you watched? Also, do you pick your "favorite" amongst top box office movies, or also amongst some TV and very low budget movies? Do you take into consideration just Hollywood movies, or also European movies, Bollywood movies etc.?

The worst altcoin i know is BitcoinCash. I strongly believe that Roger Ver is scammer and he made a hardfork only in order to gain a lot of money by means of pre-mined BCH. I think that only BTC is original bitcoin, and other coins like BitcoinCast, BitcoinGold/god/diamond can't outdo the "grandfather" of all cryptocurrencies.

I think the worst word does not fit because as long as the cryptocurrency market exists there will be more Altcoin, and surely there will be good or bad, maybe you will have worse, of course, I hope you'll meet better of. There are a lot of crooks in the cryptocurrency world. They cheat people's assets through worthless coins and run. So choose ICO with caution.

The worst Altcoin for me is Egass, the team collected  ICO funds and disappeared for the space, they claim they are doing identity and citizen liberitarian project, another one I participated in is Decloud, alright scam, disappeared with my BTC and nothing heard from the team, I have learnt not to invest into any project with no big figure as advisors

hmmm let's not enter in such an enciclopedia of terms and keep it simple.

when you probably say that it has been the worst investment I have ever made in X coin ... you are also explaining why, no comunication, no updates eetc etc etc ..

i asume that quality of posting is not just for terms and specific questions but the core of the question and how the future answers might help others.

i just couldn't guess what kind of question should I ask for .. all situations that probably happen ...

let's say when I say WORST i reffer to poor comunication, didn't keep up with the promises, lying, scam, no updates and the list can go on, cheers!

Doge is in my list too along with the TRON and VERGE. The later two are just bloody artificial manipulation which were done in the last month. Don’t know how I fell for these coins and inevsted huge money on that. Later on I have seen many threads being created which laughed at TRX and XVG a lot. Then I realised that I have made big mistake by investing into these coins.

About the DOGE, it’s really confusing to me that why such tipping coin is made anyway. I really had faith in that one because is literally being used to trade as crypto pair just the way we would use BTC or ETH. But anyway the results are here in front of us. Nothings good in all of them.

tron and xdn

Frankly the worst alt is the alt that has a ponzi scheme, look at the bitconnect that has fallen and took its toll around the world. This is the kind of thing we should avoid from the crypto world.

as far as I remember there was such a gamecoin project and if it does not change my memory they turned out to be serious scammers, so probably for me it is one of the biggest scamers, so the project symmetry fund, also turned out to be scammers

yea thats one of the wales .. but i'm sure there are also others that we should avoid and warn others ...

I think coins with shady backgrounds are worst coins and one of them is bitconnect.

I don't really think that we can create a list for the worst altcoin, since there are many out there. Simply take abonded projects or some simple forks that have no purpose to exist. Or take some coin that we all know is simply based on hype and nothing else in the background, there are many coins out there and I don't see the point of finding and searching for worst one out there.

Indeed, Dogecoin is among the most popular altcoins for investing but this is caused by the hype around it. Yes, everyone laugh at him but continue to invest, so I think the hype is settling down and this coin will fall to the bottom.

The worst altcoin that I have in 2017 are, bitexo and evr. Only two in 2017

We can not decide exactly but I think the worst subcoin Doge can coin.

Worst is just because we get loss, money stuck for long time or never get good response from dev project and most people will say get loss. Actually we don't know which one is the worst and that's why we should prepare about money management and also stop loss. Just take one and do the best and accept the result. It make you become better person with high knowledge but wise.

According to the ICOs that I participated, there are many. We cannot figure out if that altcoins will be your promising one, but make sure that you look at their whitepaper first before you joined in. Once an ICO is finished then the distribution of tokens that sometimes aren't tallied well according to your work. That sucks man!

Whitepaper shouldn't be the only thing you should pay attention to and I don't even count it as number one. Why? Because you have many people that offer their service to write whitepaper with good qulity and if you know this you know that even if some ICO is a bad one, they can simply pay somebody to write them professional whitepaper.

Every coin has its own potential more or less. There is nothing called worst unless and until it's a scam.

exactly, it might take some time until you realise because they can really hire people on each level, marketing, copywriting, tech etc but in the end if the intention is to scam .. magic will happen :)

I think Bumbacoin is one of the worst coins, but some people will still support it. I have found a very curious content, the video there the guy makes the review of the worst altcoins. Here it is:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzD5pQ6QX5g

It would be XRP or Ripple,for me this is the worst coin you will ever wanted to invest.It is manipulated by the bankers and financial institutions,a centralized digital currency hiding in the cryptocurrency's robe,it can actually destroy our decentralized community when it dominates our market.

Haha there are too many bad coins here, I will become tired if I start to list them :D
We have thousands of coins in coinmarcetcap, and many coins are trading out of it, we dont even know them.
What should I say not about worst but about coin that disapointed me the most - is SONM. They are still trading under the ICO price in BTC despite they had 40m$ during the ICO ??? This is the coin I dont understand really

The worst altcoins I know was coeval, the coin was launched at over $1000 and within months it dumped to nothing. Coinmarketcap delist the coin some months back because its a scam.

I could say DIMONCOIN (FUDD), I'm very-very disappointed. The dev runnaway and DUMP their tokens. Another one, is LTG (LitecoinGold). Sold his own token at high price.  Then the dev gone, abandoned the ship and delete the telegram grup.

I mean this is an interesting post, but there are a whole lot more very bad altcoins that you might need hundreds of days to know.

Why do you want to do that?

Haha.

I think we should focus on the good ones and research and study.

For example, DeepOnion.

Really everyone laughs at Dogecoin, because from what I studied and reading the forum and blogs, Dogecoin is a fancy coin, and the reason for the laughter is that it was created to encourage the old faucets, and to motivate the purchase of other currencies today. In the issue that there is the worst currency, I do not see this way, in my opinion there are coins without concepts, without fame, abandon, look at the last 300 coins of the ranking.

Well there absolutely are a lot of shitcoins existing as of today and a lot more doing or planning to do an ICO so you can expect more to come within this year. And all these shitcoins are like in a competition where they are not competing to see who is the best but are competing to see who is the shittiest of them all. And if you try and compare doge coin to all these alternative shitty coins? Man oh man, doge coin will clearly look like a superstar like bitcoin. despite being  a shitty coin, there really are quite a lot that are obviously worse than doge coins. So you better be careful with every investment that you will ever make because you will surely encounter hundreds if not thousands of shitty altcoins that are very good at making promises and sugarcoating them in order to fool you. So you really have to be careful and always do a research about everything you can about any project that you think is good and ask as many questions as you can that you think are appropriate. Because most investments here are irreversible. And even if they are, it won't be as fast as other investments outside crypto world and would probably cost you a lot of time and effort for nothing.

Because you know, if the topic will be "best altcoin ever" - it will be live topic with tons of messages where everybody will advertise the coin that he bought or get in signature(support). As you did ;)
But when you write about coin that was bad for you - it is help. Helping other people not to lose their money, so they can search through tons of "good" projects where to invest and when they see coin from this topic - they will already know that it is not so good as was mentioned. I think this is more helpful

In my personal experience. The only worst coin that I know especially that coin is the member of top altcoins for a long time is BitConnect, there's are lot of Bitconnect investors and traders are sueing the company because they failed to manage all the tasks as being the main role to function to stay on the market playground.
There are some altcoins are failed and some of them are starting to vanish but BitConnect is indeed the most disappointing because nobody sees how they become failed when they're one of the most popular Altcoin in the market years back.

I heard that DogeCoin is a coin, beyond which there are no technologies. Therefore, it is considered the worst but not the worst.

I don't know what is the worst coin of all alt is can you tell me what it is.

Zcash？ :D

I agree with you about Doge, the price action is slow and I see more people leave Doge because they get nothing with the Doge. My money stuck with doge almost 6 month and sometimes make me stress because there's no significant move. Finally, I sell it and loss 15% from my money. Leave doge and I'll never come back to this worst coin.

The worst altcoins are EDOGUE, PNS, PRO there number is very high and there value are zero.

the worst of all coins are the ones who scam or abandon.

Not all of them mate, most of them are hyped or pumped coins, the worst thing we can imagine is the broken promises and abandoned projects made by the devs itself or some coins are useless at all so better to read their whitepaper to know the purposes and goals of the coins nevertheless you will experience those that I've mentioned.

Keep in your mind about future update of dogecoin soon. Those are thinking doge coin already died and then they will be regretting it later. There was for bounty to build the platform to make a cross bridge from ethereum to the dogecoin. Alex and some people are working privately on it. You can see this tweet https://twitter.com/Truebitprotocol/status/962032893315788801

I only know a few, like dogecoins which has been to be the copycat of bitcoin and so one of the worst because it doesn't have any development plans. But dogecoins have high market, even without development of any sort. Other would also agree bout Falcoin, which was presumably deleted in the cointmarketcap due mainly of scam.
just wanted to make money out of nothing.

Very strange question. I even became interested, this by what criteria can define worst altcoin?

Bitconnect was in my opinion the worst one. It affected many people around the world but it didnt do well because people found out that it was up to no good. These are the kind of Altcoins we should avoid within the Cryptospace.

1-bitconnect

2-bitconnect

these 2

My worst altcoin is ZLC. It has huge bad effect for me. I lost due to it. If you see Zlc just stay away. Its a tip from me to you.

ReddCoin. It's been so many years that the devs are promisiing the release of redd-ID. But still theres no product to show. And with the price of it pumping one can't really guess the markets.

Yes I agree with you, RDD coins are very old coins and until now the price is not good when compared to doge coins

I fully agree with your comment, just , "And with the price of it pumping one can't really guess the markets ", this is relative. I would cite another bad coin - TheCreed (TCR), $ 7 volume, practically dead.

For me the worst coin is the one in which you trusted and which had great prospectives but they did not meet the expectations. One of such coins Monaco is. The developers promissed the cooperation with VISA, promising prospects, but all this came to be not true. Token costed 0,0055 btc at its peak, but now the price dropped almost 10 times! It is fiasco. I think in future we should nod expect anything good from Monaco team.
