Explaining "Market Cap" simply
Ever wondered why a crypto token priced at $1 can feel 'bigger' or 'safer' than one at $100? It feels confusing, but it's like comparing two companies just by their stock price without knowing how many shares are out there.
We often just look at a crypto’s price and think that tells us everything, right?
But that’s like only looking at how much one slice of pizza costs without knowing if it’s from a tiny personal pan or a giant family-sized pie!
Market Cap, or 'Market Capitalization,' is simply the total value of all the available tokens for a project.
You calculate it by multiplying the current price of one token by the total number of tokens in circulation.
It feels exciting to see a low token price, but then we might mistakenly think it has more room to grow than a high-priced token.
Therefore, understanding Market Cap gives you a much truer picture of a project's overall size and its potential for growth.
If a project has a low token price but a really high market cap, it means there are already a lot of tokens out there, making it harder for the price to move significantly with new money.
Conversely, a high token price with a lower market cap might mean fewer tokens, and potentially more room for significant price swings.
So, next time you’re checking out a new crypto, remember to always look at its Market Cap, not just its price.
It helps us compare projects fairly and wisely! ✨
