加密货币崩溃、烧毁或失败：要避免的 3 种加密货币

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.

加密货币总是会崩溃、燃烧或失败。据 CoinGecko 称，2014 年之后推出的所有代币或硬币中，超过 50% 现在都是“死加密货币”。这意味着需要避免一些加密货币。

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. 

加密项目因生态系统失败而消亡——就像 Terra (LUNA-USD) 的例子一样，没有积累足够的专用用户群，或者只是从网格中消失。

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

大多数时候，此类加密货币永远不会反弹。

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.

有一些迹象需要注意。加密货币失效的迹象之一是 CoinGecko、CoinMarketCap 或 Coinbase 等主要加密货币跟踪器上没有跟踪活动。另一个迹象是，如果价格长期几乎没有波动，那么就很少有人谈论它们，或者它们正在努力获得吸引力。

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

当加密货币发生这些事情时，作为投资者，明智的做法是避开。

Here are three of such cryptos to avoid.

以下是要避免的三种此类加密货币。

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. 

应避免的加密货币：Terra Classic (LUNC-USD) 来源：ShutterstockTerra Classic (LUNC-USD)，以前称为 Terra，是 2018 年推出的 Terra 区块链稳定币生态系统的原生代币。LUNC 是 TerraUSD (UST) 的姊妹代币——Terra 的算法稳定币。

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).

鼎盛时期，LUNA 在 2022 年 5 月创下了 119 美元的历史新高。当时，它在不到一年的时间里就冲破了几美元，进入了市值（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都在后者的算法协议被破坏后急剧崩溃。 UST 从大约 1 美元跌至仅美分，而 LUNA 则损失了超过 99% 的价值。

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.

作为回应，Terra 社区创建了 Terra 区块链的一个分叉。 LUNA 成为 Terra Classic，新铸造的 Luna 代币成为新区块链的原生代币。

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 仍在交易所进行交易。但它恢复以前地位的可能性几乎为零。该代币目前的交易价格约为 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) 来源：Ink Drop / Shutterstock.comEinsteinium (EMC2-USD) 是一个加密项目，希望利用区块链技术为科学研究筹集资金。这个想法是通过对新铸造的 EMC2 代币征税并维护基于 EMC2 的透明货币系统来汇集资金。

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

这种加密货币于 2014 年推出，并在 2017 年大幅上涨，一度上涨超过 100,000%。

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

不过，最近似乎并没有太多动作。粗略的在线搜索显示爱因斯坦元素实际上已经不复存在了。

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.

加密货币追踪器 CoinGecko、CoinMarketCap 和 Coinbase 几乎没有报告任何价格活动，其 X 页面上的参与度也没有表明任何具体的未来发展。

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

当该币上市的主要交易所 Bittrex 于去年 11 月关闭时，该币的消亡似乎就开始了。

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

不管怎样，锿似乎不会再回来了。

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) 来源：WHYFRAME/ShutterStock.comMintcoin (MINT-USD) 是一种于 2014 年推出的加密货币，旨在成为使用工作量证明 (PoW) 的比特币 (BTC-USD) 等硬币的替代品共识机制——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 的加密货币之一，并以 5% 的年回报率奖励质押 MINT 代币的用户，这为参与者提供了公平的奖励，同时又不会让太多代币充斥市场。

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

然而目前，薄荷币似乎已经死了。

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. 

其创始人最后一次在 X 上更新是在 2018 年，当时任何交易所几乎都没有任何活动。此外，围绕它的讨论或新闻很少甚至没有。

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

出于所有实际目的，薄荷币不会回来，并且是另一种需要避免的加密货币。
