They can't all be winners.
Global Currency Reserve, or GCR, is actually one of the oldest cryptocurrencies around, other than Bitcoin. It rides in the venerable crew of 2015 coins, having launched right around August, 2015 and reaching a high near .0032000 Satoshis.
This is over 100x the current price.
GCR was hit with a multiple-whammy recently. I'm not even sure of the exact order of operations, but the capstone was a deslisting from Bittrex, leaving it with almost no exchange support.
GCR was due to be involved with a potentially-promising project called Coinixion, which is due to launch soon. The idea with Coinixion was to allow holders of cryptocurrency to buy and sell real goods and directly transfer value - sort of like a crypto-Ebay. This would have given GCR a real-world use case, but alas, despite supposedly launching in the next few weeks, Coinixion is likely not enough to save this faltering coin from the last few stages of its death spiral.
Some time before the delisting-of-doom from Bittrex, GCR's Github went down, leaving only a broken link. That's about as big of a red flag as you are likely to see in cryptocurrency. Developers of the coin do not appear to be responsive on either Reddit or BitcoinTalk.org, leaving an increasingly high probability that GCR has just been downgraded to "dead coin status."
As much as I'd like to find a reason to dip-buy that chart above, given the likely comeback of alts in the relatively near future, I simply can't get over the mountain of reasons not to (or past the multiple other projects more deserving.) Better to sink that money into Steem under $2, or Ark under $3, or any one of a number of other promising coins which, if they see a rally, will have some degree of fundamental justification for it.
I recommend steering clear of this one, or at least, adding it to your shopping list right underneath "the Brooklyn Bridge."
