A dead coin means a coin with no value anymore. You are right, it may be caused by scam issue, the teams leave it with no future development, and people stop to buy the coin. So, the coin becomes a digital coin with no transactions, and usually it will be removed from exchanges.

For my own opinion a dead coin can be described as a shit coin, scam project or can be said that the founder doesn't have enough money or resources to continue the project.

I watched several projects where the team is doing something on the project. But despite this, the coin does not move in the market, it stands still, I do not know whether it is temporary or perhaps the coin has died.

Dead coins are all scam coins and coins from failed projects. They are created just for taking profits and the project teams are not really serious to make its coins to have values in market. I saw many projects created useless coins, so be careful to buy a coin for investment.

If it has no development and it's price goes to zero or near zero I'd consider it a "dead coin". And if it gets resurrected then it's a "zombie coin".

The dead coin I think is the coin that on the verge of bankruptcy, or its company has no future or a very small company who made its own coin just because it is fashionable.

Dead coins is equivalent to hopeless, meaningless, garbage, ruined, shameful, and seems like curse project.
No nobody believes the project anymore. All testimonies about regretful investment nothing good to be heard.

As a rule, these are coins that do not represent anything of themselves, and no one needs them.  They are no longer involved in the team and developers, such coins are just lying in your wallet!

Coins can be said to die if there is no more transaction volume and the price is cheap. Kaeena no longer believes in the project and no one buys it. Just waiting for the time to delist from the exchange if there are coins like that.

For my own opinion a dead coin can be described as a shit coin, scam project or can be said that the founder doesn't have enough money or resources to continue the project.

I can add to this, it is not traded in an exchange, and nobody wants to buy it. So. there is no way to exchange it to something else.

As per my info Dead coins are those crypto tokens whose value has tumbled below one cent and which doesn’t offer any suitable utility or feature. These are generally created and launched with nefarious intentions like for hacking or for  spread of malware etc.

If I think a dead coin is a coin that is not developed by the developer, so it is impossible for this coin to be called a good one, but this coin is still circulating in the community, and this is called coin rubbish, coins that are not clear in direction.

I consider a "dead coin" a coin with no more value which is no more traded on any exchange, so it's practically useless.....unfortunately I have many dead coins in my wallet earned making bounty campaign in 2018... :( :(

A dead coin is a project that does not have a well defined use case, and moreso valueless.

The death of coins occurs only when the information that the company was fraudulent and did not fulfill its obligations to investors.

If in my opinion the coin is dead is a coin that has no development, because it has not been left by the developer, its existence will still be in the market, so the coin rotates in the market without any clear and uncertain direction, and usually for so long, they will disappear by itself, because the exchange will delay the coin slowly.

A dead coin is one that has been left behind by the founders and developers and that the community has stopped supporting it. It is important to note that there are projects that has been abandoned by founders/developers but were taken cared of by the community, a good example of that is ember coin and I think even ebtc.

I understand a dead coin as an asset that has ceased to be in demand in the market and the trading volume of which tends to 0.
Title: Re: How do you explain a "dead coin"?

The project with no ongoing development and nobody is buying its coin or token. I think that is the simplest way to put it.
Title: Re: How do you explain a "dead coin"?
Post by: owmivmen on January 09, 2019, 09:08:59 AM
Yes, you are right. dead coins or tokens can be defined if the coin or token is left behind by the owner and developer. in addition, dead coins can also be called if there is no trading volume or no one is interested in the coin or token.

Finally dead coin is that coin which has no value in market. It means dev did not work behind its promotion and Maximum exchanger reject it for its valueless and EDT can be best example for that.

Even though there's no amendment i'll actually keep within the crypto currency as a result of i do know crypto currency has tough one thing worse than currently, i'll not quit as a merchant within the crypto currency, if the value continues to fall then i'll say this can be the proper time still increase investment, as a result of disappointment won't continually continue, there'll be pleasure on balance disappointment happens

Even if the coins is abandoned it's doesn't mean that the is dead because there are coins that has still value even the founders abandoned it, the dead coin is that has no value in the market.

In my own view and understanding of a dead  coin, it is a coin that is abandoned by the #DevelopmentTeam  and it does not have investors backings also.

We have as much as these coin in the market,they are been abandoned by investors this is to say they sell out of the market, you find no buy ,market is inactive.

In my opinion, dead coin is when the coin on the market has no value, volume, and also progress. It can be said that the percentage of the volume to cycle is zero for some certain moment. So that this coin will be not progressing again.

I have my opinion.
A coin with a big community behind with a free code to free develop will not ever die for definition.
Differently, a security token, for instance, linked to a team's project, can be died once team decided to abandon the project.

Dead coins don't seem to have a future and quality. little interest and no price growth. maybe in my opinion like that. besides, all your writing is correct.

I am interested in discussing this. dead coins have many meanings. losing trust and interest is the main factor that makes it happen. the failure of the product will also cause the coin to not survive.

Most of the time you have described most of the dead coins, but as I have noticed, the predominant part of the dead coins are those projects that have lost their creators.

A dead coin is a project that cannot attract new investors and loses existing trading volumes. It's my vision.

The death of coins by and large in 2017 was due to the fact that the idea they were trying to promote was unrealizable or there simply did not need a blockchain.

This is my opinion, but I don't know if it is true or not. Well, the dead coin may happen if:
1. It is decided by the team because of seeing the prospect or progress of the coin in the market.
2. Seen from how the progress of the coin in the market, then the coin is dead. It means that there is no progress, no volume running, no transaction, and no value probably for some certain times.

I would describe dead coin as worthless to have in your portfolio. It happens when project developer leave their project abandoned or we can say failed project coins can be described as dead coin even I can say mostly airdrop coins that has no roadmap after listing soon reached to 1 satoshi and does not move also be a dead coins.

Any coin that people do not buy. It does not matter if there is an existing team, if nobody wants it then it's dead.

The dead is obviously on the graveyard so it means its the same way as crypto-currency too? Before we conclude that the coin/token is dead that cryptocurrency must recognized and officially listed on the popular coinmarket stats, to know how it was run before is it a scam or not. and yet if those criteria is present and those particular coin/token is not showing any activity in past months or year that we can conclude that the particular cryptocurrency is dead already!

I agree that the coin dies - when it stops its development and completely stops its activity.While the project is developing, produces reports on the work done, conducts meetups-I am sure that in the long term it will succeed.

Signs that a project is a dead or dying coin:

- the team is inactive in their social media channels
- there is no development on their github
- there are no more buyers of the coin

We can see dead coins on online sites on Google browsers and many developers who failed to achieve their goals, and failed to provide the best products for coin holders which resulted in projects being closed and abandoned.
There are many projects and old coins that still survive and have good prices to date, all because developers really want to develop their products to increase the price of the coins they have

Dead coins are coins that are not further developed, and finally these coins circulate on the internet without any purpose, but with time the coin will disappear, because there is no exchange or money investor will buy it.

A dead coin is a coin with zero liquidity and zero trading volume.

A dead coin is a coin that is completely abandoned by the founders and developers of the project.  And such projects has no updates, and their social medias/websites are of no use and not accessible by anyone. This at times could be caused if the project could not get to its market capitalization or could be caused as a result that the project is a scam.

The way to the dead token is the way. Taken Scam that can be understood by seeing the campaign. People will not work there. White Paper will be wrong. The website will be wrong. There are several different reasons that the dead token is understood from the reason.
