⚠️ ❌ Common Types of "Copy-Paste" or Abandoned Altcoins
🐶 Dogecoin & Shiba Inu Clones
These are meme tokens made just to ride the Doge/Shiba wave. Most have no team, no utility, no future.
Examples:
BabyDogeCoin
DogeBonk
ShibaZilla
Kishu Inu
Akita Inu
Saitama
Floki (to some extent, though they are trying to add utility)
Pitbull
SafeMoon (very controversial and considered abandoned by many)
Most of these are ERC-20 or BSC tokens copied from another coin’s code.

💩 "Inu", "Pepe", "FLOKI", and "Elon"-Themed Tokens
Tokens that use popular meme names to attract buyers but do nothing real.
Examples:
PepeCoin clones: Pepe 2.0, TurboPepe, MiniPepe
Elon-themed: DogeElonMars, ElonDoge, etc.
Floki Moon Shot, DogeKiller, etc.
Usually launched with no whitepaper, no team info, and vanish after a few weeks or months.

💸 "Pump & Dump" Tokens With No Real Dev
These coins were hot for a few weeks/months and then just disappeared:
Examples:
Squid Game Coin (SQUID) – huge rug pull
BitConnect (old classic scam)
FeG Token
EverGrow (EGC) – hyped a lot, then no activity
YAM Finance, SushiSwap clones – DeFi hype with no sustainability
---
🧟 Abandoned or "Zombie" Coins
These are coins that once had hype or purpose but now have:
No social media activity
No dev updates
Very low volume
Examples:
Dentacoin – for dentists 😂
Electroneum (ETN) – was popular in 2018, now almost dead
Pundi X (old version) – rebranded but lost momentum
Reddcoin (RDD) – inactive for years
Kin (KIN) – old messaging coin, almost no use
Substratum (SUB) – completely gone
Verge (XVG) – still listed but very low usage
