Why Market Cap Matters More Than Price
You see a coin trading at $0.02 and think:
“If it just hits $1, I’ll be rich!”
That’s a classic beginner mistake.
Price means nothing without context.
What really matters?
Market Cap = Price × Total Supply
A token priced at $1 with 100M supply has a $100M market cap.
Another token at $0.001 with 1 trillion supply?
That’s a $1B market cap — 10× bigger, even though it looks cheaper.
So no, it’s not “cheap” just because it’s under $1.

Why You Can’t Just Dream About $1
Thinking “this coin could hit $1 too”?
Check the math.
To go from $0.01 to $1, it might need billions in new investment — more than Bitcoin’s entire market cap.
Unrealistic? Often, yes.

How I Actually Use Market Cap
1. Compare apples to apples.
A $500 coin can have a smaller cap than a $0.01 token.
2. Stay grounded.
I don’t fall for the “cheap coin” illusion — I ask:
How much capital needs to flow in?
3. Spot real opportunities.
A solid low-cap project has more growth potential than a hyped giant.

Bonus Tip: Watch Circulating Supply
Some projects have only a fraction of tokens unlocked.
More unlocks = more selling pressure = price dip.
Always read the tokenomics.
