Trade volume: under $500 per day
Number of coins: "too many" (20 billion, give or take) and growing "too fast" (25% for the first year)
Price follows the above, giving you the 1 satoshi rate we're seeing.
My thoughts? Yes, ZEIT is pretty much dead. There are so many other coins out there that have gathered more interest, and if no one is interested in a coin then it really serves little purpose.
Flawed arguments are flawed. The number of coins minted need not be guessed at or generalized. It's exactly 27428309200.095898 right at this second. PoW phase is over and with the huge number of coins on exchanges there are not a lot of coins being minted. The monetary inflation rate is quite low. Where can you buy for 1 satoshi? I'm on that. I too would like to see Zeitcoin adoption expand, but these things take time.
