You really need to understand market capitalization, or you'll easily be fooled by the low prices of new projects.

Market capitalization is really overcomplicated; it's actually just that simple.

Market cap — this thing should have been explained properly a long time ago. Too many people blindly chase high-priced coins. Just read this article, and you'll get it.

Market capitalization, simply put, is price multiplied by circulating supply. It's the easiest trap for beginners to fall into. A high price ≠ a good project; this is something you need to understand. Market cap is the real indicator to see the project's scale; don't be fooled by the unit price. Another article advising beginners to do their homework, I really appreciate this mindset. It's true, but when it comes to actual trading, emotions can easily take over.

Market cap is something that should have been explained properly a long time ago; it's much more reliable than many people blindly hyping up coin prices.
