加密貨幣崩潰、燒毀或失敗：要避免的 3 種加密貨幣

Cryptocurrencies crash, burn or fizzle out all the time. According to CoinGecko, more than 50% of all tokens or coins launched after 2014 are now dead cryptocurrencies. This means that there are some cryptos to avoid.

加密貨幣總是會崩潰、燃燒或失敗。據 CoinGecko 稱，2014 年後推出的所有代幣或硬幣中，超過 50% 現在都是「死加密貨幣」。這意味著需要避免一些加密貨幣。

Crypto projects die due to ecosystem failure—as in the case of Terra (LUNA-USD), not racking up enough of a dedicated user base or simply falling off the grid. 

加密項目因生態系統失敗而消亡——就像 Terra (LUNA-USD) 的例子一樣，沒有累積足夠的專用用戶群，或者只是從網格中消失。

And most of the time, such cryptocurrencies never bounce back.

大多數時候，這類加密貨幣永遠不會反彈。

There are some signs to watch out for. One sign of a dead crypto is no tracking activity on major crypto trackers such as CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, or Coinbase. Another sign is if there’s little to no price movement for long periods, there’s barely chatter about them, or they are struggling to gain traction.

有一些跡象需要注意。加密貨幣失效的跡象之一是 CoinGecko、CoinMarketCap 或 Coinbase 等主要加密貨幣追蹤器上沒有追蹤活動。另一個跡像是，如果價格長期幾乎沒有波動，那麼就很少有人談論它們，或者它們正在努力獲得吸引力。

When those things happen to a cryptocurrency, you’d be wise—as an investor—to steer clear.

當加密貨幣發生這些事情時，作為投資者，明智的做法是避免。

Here are three of such cryptos to avoid.

以下是要避免的三種此類加密貨幣。

Cryptos to Avoid: Terra Classic (LUNC-USD)

Terra Classic (LUNC-USD), formerly Terra, is the native token of the Terra blockchain stablecoin ecosystem launched in 2018. LUNC was the sister token to TerraUSD (UST)—Terra’s algorithmic stablecoin. 

應避免的加密貨幣：Terra Classic (LUNC-USD) 來源：ShutterstockTerra Classic (LUNC-USD)，以前稱為Terra，是2018 年推出的Terra 區塊鏈穩定幣生態系統的原生代幣。LUNC 是TerraUSD (UST ) 的姊妹代幣－Terra 的演算法穩定幣。

In its heyday, LUNA peaked at an all-time high of $119 in May 2022. At the time, it had shot past a few dollars in less than a year to being in the top ten in market capitalization (market cap).

在鼎盛時期，LUNA 在 2022 年 5 月創下了 119 美元的歷史新高。當時，它在不到一年的時間內就衝破了幾美元，進入了市值（市值）前十。

However, in 2022, both LUNA and UST collapsed dramatically after the latter’s algorithmic protocol came undone. UST tanked from its peg of about $1 to mere cents, with LUNA hemorrhaging over 99% of its value. 

然而到了2022年，LUNA和UST都在後者的演算法協議被破壞後急劇崩潰。 UST 從大約 1 美元跌至僅美分，而 LUNA 則損失了超過 99% 的價值。

In response, the Terra community created a fork of the Terra blockchain. LUNA became Terra Classic, and the freshly minted Luna token became the native token for the new blockchain.

作為回應，Terra 社群創建了 Terra 區塊鏈的一個分叉。 LUNA 成為 Terra Classic，新鑄造的 Luna 代幣成為新區塊鏈的原生代幣。

LUNC is still traded on exchanges. But chances are near zero that it will reclaim its former status. The token is now trading at the ballpark of $0.0001300 and ranks at number 117 in market cap. 

LUNC 仍在交易所進行交易。但它恢復以前地位的可能性幾乎為零。該代幣目前的交易價格約為 0.0001300 美元，市值排名第 117 位。

Einsteinium (EMC2-USD)

Einsteinium (EMC2-USD) is a crypto project that wanted to leverage blockchain technology to raise funding for scientific research. The idea was to pool funds by collecting tax on newly minted EMC2 tokens and by maintaining a transparent currency system based on EMC2.

Einsteinium (EMC2-USD) 資料來源：Ink Drop / Shutterstock.comEinsteinium (EMC2-USD) 是一個加密項目，希望利用區塊鏈技術為科學研究籌集資金。這個想法是透過對新鑄造的 EMC2 代幣徵稅並維護基於 EMC2 的透明貨幣系統來匯集資金。

The cryptocurrency was launched in 2014 and would go on a tear in 2017 — gaining by more than 100,000% at one point.

這種加密貨幣於 2014 年推出，並在 2017 年大幅上漲，一度上漲超過 10 萬%。

However, it doesn’t seem like there’s a lot of action going on lately. A cursory online search shows Einsteinium is effectively defunct.

不過，最近似乎沒有太多動作。粗略的線上搜尋顯示愛因斯坦元素實際上已經不存在了。

Crypto trackers CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, and Coinbase report virtually no price activity, and engagement on its X page doesn’t point to any specific future developments.

加密貨幣追蹤器 CoinGecko、CoinMarketCap 和 Coinbase 幾乎沒有報告任何價格活動，其 X 頁面上的參與度也沒有顯示任何具體的未來發展。

The coin’s demise seems to have begun when the major exchange it listed on—Bittrex—closed in November last year. 

當該幣上市的主要交易所 Bittrex 於去年 11 月關閉時，該幣的消亡似乎就開始了。

Whatever the case, it doesn’t seem as though Einsteinium will be coming back. 

不管怎樣，鑀似乎不會再回來了。

Mintcoin (MINT-USD)

Mintcoin (MINT-USD) is a cryptocurrency launched in 2014 that aimed to be an alternative to coins such as Bitcoin (BTC-USD) that use Proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism—which consumes enormous amounts of energy.

Mintcoin (MINT-USD) 來源：WHYFRAME/ShutterStock.comMintcoin (MINT-USD) 是一種於2014 年推出的加密貨幣，旨在成為使用工作量證明(PoW) 的比特幣(BTC-USD) 等硬幣的替代品共識機制－消耗大量能源。

It was one of the first cryptos to use PoS and rewarded users who staked MINT tokens with a 5% yearly return on their stake—which offered a fair reward to participants without flooding the market with too many coins. 

它是最早使用 PoS 的加密貨幣之一，並以 5% 的年回報率獎勵質押 MINT 代幣的用戶，這為參與者提供了公平的獎勵，同時又不會讓太多代幣充斥市場。

At the moment, however, Mintcoin appears to be dead as a dodo.

然而目前，薄荷幣似乎已經死了。

Its founders last updated on X in 2018, and there’s virtually no activity on any exchange. Also, there’s little to no discussion or news surrounding it. 

其創辦人最後一次在 X 上更新是在 2018 年，當時任何交易所幾乎都沒有任何活動。此外，圍繞它的討論或新聞很少甚至沒有。

For all practical purposes, Mintcoin is not coming back and is another cryptocurrency to avoid. 

出於所有實際目的，薄荷幣不會回來，並且是另一種需要避免的加密貨幣。
