A token can be “cheap” at $0.01 and still be more expensive than $BTC if the supply math is ugly.
Most traders learn this after chasing a low-priced coin because it “only needs to hit $1.” I’ve seen this trap in every cycle: greed makes the unit price feel small, then reality shows up through market cap, supply, and liquidity.
Think of two companies. Company A has 1 million shares at $100, so it’s worth $100 million. Company B has 10 billion shares at $0.01, and it’s also worth $100 million. Same valuation, totally different sticker price.
Crypto works the same way. A coin with 100 billion supply doesn’t become “early” just because it trades at fractions of a cent. For it to hit $1, the market may need to value it at $100 billion. That’s why comparing $DOGE to $BNB or $BTC by price alone is a rookie mistake.
In past cycles, the people who survived weren’t the ones asking “Can it reach $1?” They were asking “What market cap does that imply, and who is left to buy higher?” That one question can save you from a lot of painful bags.
What’s the biggest “cheap coin” lesson you learned the hard way?
