Yer dead at $17
was around when the price was 11c, so i can happily report it is not dead in fact far from it if that is not obvious enough.
If the price goes to 0 then we can say its dead though that not be for many years if not hundreds of years.
Remember this is just the start of the ride hang on we will see way more volatility before we see a steady price, but as a hybrid digital asset/commodity/currency the free market might never agree on a set price.
