The market has been hit hard by the ongoing crypto crisis and winter. Everyone seems to be selling high-risk assets and consolidating portfolios to only the best tokens or coins.
As the market consolidates, and investors become more cautious, the probability of crypto projects that are still in their infancy failing to survive increases exponentially.
It is important to only invest in projects you truly believe in. Here are some crypto coins that may not survive the next few years.
1. Po.et (POE)
In 2016, the Po.et project was launched. It is a decentralised protocol that is specifically targeted at the publishing industry. It uses Poet timestamped data about creative content on blockchain. These open protocols were created for interoperability to current media standards.
