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.
