These Top 5 Cryptocurrencies May Die Soon; Are You A Holder?

The ongoing crypto winter and crisis have hit the market hard. Everyone seems to be dumping high-risk assets and consolidating their portfolios to include only the best coins or tokens.

As the market consolidates and investors become more risk averse, the likelihood of nascent crypto projects, that have yet to prove their worth, failing to survive grows exponentially.

Hence, it’s imperative that you remain invested only in those projects that you understand and truly believe in. Here’s a list of crypto coins that may struggle to survive in the coming years.

1. Po.et (POE)

The Po.et project began in 2016. It is a decentralised protocol aimed particularly at the publishing business. Poet timestamped information about creative content on the blockchain.It uses open protocols that were designed for interoperability with contemporary media and publishing industry standards.

The red flags we came across:

POE is listed on only one exchange, i.e., HitBTC.

Not a very active community on Twitter; last tweet was made on 15th January 2021

Market capitalisation is just around $36,481 and the trading voulme is around few hundred dollars (a few dollars on some days)

The price of the coin has been more or less stagnant for the last 3 years.

2. Bounty0x (BNTY)

BNTY is an ERC-20 token that powers the Bounty0x Network. It is a decentralised bounty hunting platform that allows anybody to manage bounty programmes and reward bounty hunters for accomplishing bounty missions.

It stores value, provides complete anonymity, and can be sent over the internet with no central authority (such as a bank).  It was the first digital currency to use a hybrid consensus method that combined proof-of-stake (PoS) and proof-of-work (PoW).

The red flags we came across:

Regardless of volatility, PPC has seen a gradual decline in price in the last 2-3 years, currently trading at $0.4176.
