many old projects are still alive but do not show significant progress, so this is not much different from scam projects in general.
Old project are down today not because the developers are not active, are you telling me that with all the things that Ethereum is doing, and with all the things that Binance CEO is doing for binance, don’t they ought to have grown more than that, they ought to have grown, but yet they are still suppressed by the bear market situation, and until the bear market of the altcoins is over before we can really say that old project are same as scam for some of the coins that will not survive again.
