Dead coins...

[rysea2]

I think coin can be called dead when the coin has no interest in the market, and it can be influenced by several factors such as many things that are not in accordance with their goals or maybe the development process is experiencing obstacles.

What makes a coin dead? I would say when it has no active nodes, no trading volume and no development, in that order. Anyone have a different definition?
My second question, why does CMC still list these coins!?!?!?

Definitely no nodes. Since then transactions cant happen. No treading volume or development dont make coin dead. It just add to the possibility to die soon.

[TheReverend]

of course no one buys it and a bad team, DEVs are not serious about the coins and only seek profits from ico.
I also don't know why CMC still displays it on their site, I don't know the listing on CMC is paid or not.

Coin dies, indeed, the market has no interest, it's worthless even though the team is active, but without movement and volume, what's the point. This is difficult to develop, so before dying it's better to just throw it away when you have a small volume even if you have to lose, this risk must indeed be done to set a better strategy.

CMC doesn’t have any obligation to unlist anytime the tokens that are considered scam since the coins that are listed there are those that have volumes. Secondly, you can sense the project before it became a scam will lose its update everyday and go silent either in there telegram or any medium. Basically sometimes this scam projects are legit from the start but as time pass by their dev and team cannot anymore sustain the projects longetivity that’s why it turns out dead.

Zero demand means there's no interest and no money circulating in to that coin. There can be a market cap which can stay because of those people that can sell it anymore because no one wants to buy it.

No development means no movement and the project is totally dead at that time. But if something goes on and the devs of it decided to work for that project, a movement can change its future. It doesn't mean they are on CMC they are worth coins to buy.

[rosmerius]

The dead coin is definitely useless and is not in demand by crypto lovers. There is no movement in the market even though the team is still there and cannot maintain its quality.

Soon it will be more and more dead projects on the market. Lots of useless forks, lots of coins without anything new in them. Devs team must get a salary, and most of ICO have money to work just for a few years. So most ICO we saw in 2017-2018 will be dead till 2020-2021.

It really makes no sense to keep listed those coins while they are already a dead project. CMC don't give a fuck to this and that's why I do prefer coingecko more than CMC. Projects with least nodes and no development should be kicked out in my opinion.

I think CMC gives some time before removing the coin completely. Nodes can be restored, and why look for all information from scratch when you can not delete them for a while.
I think the lack of nodes does not mean the total death of a coin.

Yes, no activity from devs, low or close to zero trading volumes are only few reasons why it would be considered a dead coins. And most of them doesn't have anything to offer whatsoever, and majority are just for pump-and-dump scheme.

My second question, why does CMC still list these coins!?!?!?

I guess CMC will still list those coins because there are exchanges listed them as well. If exchanges decided to de-list these dead coins then it will be just a matter of time before it will be gone in CMC as well.

[romero121]

A coin gets termed to be dead when there is no proper development as well it gets de listed from exchanges due to lack of circulation. There were lots and lots of such coins, CMC lists those coins, but it clearly mentions the circulation of the coin. Upon the same one can conclude whether the respective coin is good or not.

The coin or token will become dead if the developer will abandon their works as this will be due to no volume or no investors wanted to buy or invest on those coins. It can also be the developer is out of budget to continue the development. Mostly those at bottom of the marketcap which has lesser volume and no real product will usually be declared as dead coins. If you going to invest on the cheap coins with lesser volume be sure that the team is still active and willing to continue until they launch the real product.

Yes you are right they take up space on coinmarketcap and investors might think that the coin is still alive they should have delete those coins that do not have a volume for over a month I still a lot of coins like that in their list.

If there is no progress and if the developers keeps on promising and yet no result. A dead coin should really be out of this market, CMC will just put it on the last spot but i think they will no delete that coin easily since they paid for that so don’t depend much on CMC.

When developers has stop developing the projects after ico,  we can call those coins dead.  Because the coin start to have value when it start attract investors.  Therefore many coins we have in the market now should be refer to as dead coins.

[Maria]

This year we will see the death of most coins. I hope these hell days are gone as soon as possible.

[max1616]

Having high volumes after listing on the stock market and then suddenly falling to zero volume levels is a big factor..In these projects, the team probably stopped working.

A coin don't have any trading volume at any after trading exchanges available for crypto then it must to be considered as a dead coin. The coinmarketcap may have some of the dead coin because they may not aware of this at the process of removing from the list taking too longer to process.

the latest gossip lately. which projects will die and fail. it's easy to distinguish. you need to look at the team and the road map.

is there something unreasonable? then you have to give up that project.
