Does a coin or coins also die or disappears? How will it happen?

Ofcourse it will, if the coin/token isn't supported by the community or no one literally trading it, it will be dump constantly and eventually will lose its price in the market that can be considered died token.

If the coin is abandoned by its developers or there are no servers running the blockchain anymore then the coin doesn't exist. Even if there are no people supporting it, the coin will continue to exist as long as there are the servers online or the bugs of the program make the system collapse. The servers actually are the heart of the coin system and the program is the heartbeat. Some coins of today have no a developers team anymore but yet they still exist.

it will be happen if the dev just go without any confirmation or the dev with premine coins dump all the coins

No,wont die even there is no development for years but these coins can be delisted to exchanges you wont be able to trade these coins if most of the exchanges wont accept the coins,so that means it is untradable or already dead.Morelikely it wont disappear unless the holders will burn all of the supply once,but there are less chance of that posibility because they can easily forget the coin so there will be less hassle.

A project can die and many do, in fact I think over 50% of ICOs have already failed.

Even when a project is dead it does not mean that the token disappears, they are still around and can even still be traded, it's just unlikely that there will be any demand for them.

Slowly over time the project will fade and disappear, things don't go bottom out overnight. Also the space is changing and evolving every minute, what was maybe valuable and relevant 2 years ago could now be rendered obsolete.

What coin you can looking to die. In future you may find crypto grab the place the fiat working system. So if you want to die go and do that BTC or the altcoins in the marketplace will never die.
There are many try has been done by dump group and corporate whales.
But nothing works to pull down the Cryptos value.

Dissapear ? Yes and No.
Yes,it dissapeared because it was created by them just to make a money and nothing more than that.
also other than that some good project died because of the whales/price manipulator.
how can they did that ?
at the beginning the project did not get an attention from people because it was underprocess.but,with the time we could see a steady improvement from developer team.
when it tried to make a new breakthrough on their system and project,some shit people shilling it and pumping the price 10~20x from its price.
after we were passing that event,the price was declining.
slowly people who bought it at the top suffered a lot and lost their faith on it.
nobody supported it and it's gone.

No,it did not dissapear because they're seriously creating that project.
not only because they're commited,they're also have a huge financial source for their project.
so that was why they could survived from the manipulator.

Dying coins are constantly falling in price. But time to time there are pumps. This makes it possible to earn money on it. Even if the coin is left by the devs and the community.

Of course they will. Coins will die if no one will ever get interest on it like for example, no one will buy the coins. The certain coins will eventually go down and will just die in a shrink and sink situation. It depends on how well the team and dev manage their platforms. If it goes unwell, the coins will die.

In fact a coin does not disappear but 'die' it will be not traded anywhere, and not used by anyone. Technically there might be different explanations but I think it cannot disappear  ???

Then dont invest in coins that die .... well easy to say right instead try to pick and back projects that will thrive thanks to their business plan . Ventures like Kepler that through simplified mechanism to gather capital can be launch much faster from scratch.
Bringing so much needed market capitalization to the Bitcoin Sphere (Industry)

The main point of the question is: An idea never dies, but all coins that have no utility, no function or aggregate to some system tend to disappear, but the disappearance is, in the exchanges, in the main site (coinmarket), tend to lose ideas in communities and investors.

A coin may dissapear or die if no one is trading it or no one is activitaing it. coins need to be active in every listing, so that it will stay alive. but if exchanges or listings removed or dump that coin, it will eventually die.

They can disappear once removed from major exchanges, due to lack of popularity and interest, or the dev gives up on it, for whatever reason. But as far as i know a coin does not die, except with oblivion.

Yes coin or coins die or disappears once there is no demand or support from the people.There are many coins which die due to lack of demand or popularity as they get removed from the exchanges therefore there will be no trade of that coin killing the coin.

If the project did not succeed then the coin of the project will not last for a long time. It will end up like nothing. Then if the dev will continue to develop the project he can use the coin again or do another coin.

The most important thing for a coin is to get involved in different stock exchanges. There are a lot of coins now and many will disappear.

Without liquidity and demand, it will not be needed by anyone and will disappear from the market. After all, there are coins that for a long time at zero hang after crazy rises that turned out to be a pump in reality.

I think some coins can die because of the developer that tend to trick us and fool many people. For some of us may already know that the price of some new Altcoins can go down and disappear because they become scam. They are also some legit Altcoin that become die and disappears not because of the system, but because of the price of the Altcoin it self that go very low and people become uninterested. So I think coins can die, but not in the true meaning. Maybe it become die and disappear from the market because of the price can go down very low that a lot of people will not see it anymore.

As an addition to all the members replies, here is a site that lists dead/hacked/scam/meme coins
http://deadcoins.com/

At some point, within the next year or two, the public will realize that not all altcoins will survive and only the old robust altcoins will go on. New coin projects will still be created but it won't attract attention unless it has some revolutionary features. By that time, the public will be like: another day... another altcoin

For me nobody knows how and when or it will disappear because if there's still trading and to be trades it will last due to coins involving on it.

If you say in general about the crypto-currency world, then I do not believe in it. If we are talking about individual monotonies - then of course they die, if the project itself failed. They depreciate and remain in their owners' wallets, like garbage

Of course there will be many. If the coin does not bear any value and usefulness to society , it fast loses its relevance and forget about it

What does happen to people who have already invested in these non-existent coins?

Yes, it will really happen. If one coin has no value because developers already gave them up, it will eventually dissapear. Likewise, when no one is making that coin active through trading and buying and selling, it will die soon.

This happens when developers cease to work or just run away with money, then the coin simply falls with each passing day and dies

An altcoin disappears when no longer trading anymore. When all the trader does not care and do not invest in it anymore, then that Altcoin will know it. It does not disappear, but its value decreases and its value is near zero.

If there is no update from the team, It could be considered dead. I have read a news that over 50 percent of tokens from initial coin offering disappeared. Same thing could happen to Alts, I see lots of coins being erased from exchanges. Some of them have no updates on it's Github for couple months

If there is no demand to the coin and that will make the coin will be disappeared from the cryptospace. Look at so many coins in the yobit and the majority of them have zero volume trade. It can be included as died coins. There are so many examples too about that.

Coins can also go off the market, but during this time when the Asian side join the community are supporting it's kinda rare to see  a coin just disappear from the market, ofc it's not impossible tho

Yes the crypto community already witnessed vanishing of coins, Actually there are many bad devs who just create coins or tokens just to scam innocent people.

If those altcoins will never be productive or useless anymore then the members of the crypto that uses it will no longer patronize this kind of altcoins then, there is possibility that it will die or vanished in this digital world of cryptocurrency.

When no one is supporting it you can consider it dead, a coin and project keeps progressing because of the people that's supporting it and the people from the main team project but if no one is supporting or patronizing it a coin will slowly gonna goes down without it's fuel how does a project keep moving.

It will not literally disappear, but technically it will be "dead" or "useless" meaning it might be unlisted on exchanges websites because it has no value anymore. It will happen if Devs abandoned the project already and no one is doing maintenance check on the server anymore and has no more supporters.

As long as a coin is a) mined and b) on an exchange, it can never die. And there are lots of exchanges that list obscure coins simply because traders and pumper dumpers like them.

The moment the last sever is turned off is game over. Lots have died already.

Yes ofcourse especially those shitcoins out there that has no used here in our world. But it will not start right now possibly it will start in 2020 for those useless shitcoins to disappears because no one will support and believe on it.

of course, any coin which is having no strength in their project it will disappear. I think most of the coins will be disappear with in 2 years. Only strong coins and having good scope in their project will stand forever. Better before invest do research.

Of course it can still die or disapears. havent you heard the word  or term coin burning? Some times devs or some users burned their coins by sending them into a random generated address that doesnt exist and the coins will completely lost after they do it.


if the coin isnt active or devs stop them from developing, there is a posibility that the coin will become obsolete and will loose its value overtime , these can also result for removing it on an exchange but that does not mean th ecoin will die or disapear.


lol no, the coins were still there even if the server is turned off. like for example you send a coin to another user and you turned off your pc and internet after it ,the coins are still working or rather the transactions is still active and procesing.

Coins do die, yes. Especially when the project did not succeed, most probably it does not anymore have worth. There are a lot of tokens actually that are useless, some because the developers did not take any action to revive it

Yes a coin that is not supported and patronized by the community will be considered as a dead token it is because it is dump in the market and it has no price or its price will not gain or eventually lose.

Of course it will die, when its value reaches zero, or when people does not recognize its value anymore and no one will buy their coin. When people stops buying and just dumping and dumping until it reaches zero.

If there's nothing or no one behind it, yeah, it probably will.  :)

plenty altcoins has been announce everyday but only several from them could survive and some of them also has disappears and this is always be happened in crypto because people only choose the coins which have potential to grow and will avoid the coins which have no potential to profitable and usually the coins with lack of interest will being an dead coin eventually or disappears

yes it will die if there is no support of the community of the coin, because some supporters are big investors, the coin needs investors to survive.
