“This coin is so cheap… imagine if it reached Bitcoin’s price!” 🚀
An appealing statement, but it overlooks a fundamental question:
🔍 How many currency units are in circulation?
Let’s take a simple hypothetical example 👇
🟡 The first coin:
Price per unit: $1.
Circulating supply: 10 billion units.
Its market capitalization = $10 billion.
🔵 The second coin:
Unit price: $100.
Circulating supply: 1 million units.
Its market cap = $100 million.
😮 Although the price of the first coin is lower, its market cap is 100 times higher!
🧮 The equation is simple:
Market cap = unit price × circulating supply.
🔥 And here’s the surprise:
If the first coin reached $100, with its supply remaining unchanged, its market cap would be $1 trillion!
Is that impossible? The math alone can’t answer that. But it shows just how enormous a valuation this target implies.
⚠️ Two important facts:
▪️ A $1 billion increase in market cap doesn’t necessarily mean $1 billion in cash has flowed in; it’s calculated using the market price and circulating supply.
▪️ A small market cap doesn’t automatically mean a better opportunity; it may come with low liquidity and higher risks.
👑 The golden takeaway:
The unit price alone doesn’t tell you whether a coin is cheap or expensive.
Before you say, “It’ll reach a dollar,” calculate its market cap at that price, and check how much supply could enter circulation in the future. 🧠
💬 Honestly: Have you ever bought a coin because its price had lots of zeros, imagining your profits if some of those zeros disappeared? 😅👇
