Date: January 27th, 2018 2:06 PM Author: embarrassed to the bone tanning salon if I want a shitcoin , first I need to buy ETH or BTC. Then I put that BTC/ETH into the shitcoin.
Result of that investment is: I own $1K worth of shitcoin shitcoin seller owns $1K worth of ETH
So, in effect, investing $1K in the market creates $2K
am I totally off here?
given our current $550K marketcap, what do you estimate is the actual amount of FIAT that's been put in the market? we also have stuff like tethers that could be significantly inflating marketcap.

Everything just got shuffled around. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3873031&forum_id=7#35253766) |

Date: January 27th, 2018 2:09 PM Author: Racy Red Gas Station Police Squad As I've said repeatedly, I believe the actual "market cap" as defined by coinmarketcap.com is highly misleading. If the price of ETH/BTC go up, the USD value of a shitcoin traded that same instant go up as well.
So in other words, because all shitcoins are traded in ETH/BTC, when either ETH/BTC rise or fall, the shitcoins by and large go in tandem with them. Thus, I think the market cap swings appear to be much larger than what is happening in reality with exchange based trading. |

Silicon Valley is setting up crypto ETFs for accredited investors. There is a search for yield out there and there are SOME promising assets in the space. Even my bag humbug side can't write it off entirely. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3873031&forum_id=7#35253978) |

Date: January 27th, 2018 2:41 PM Author: spectacular indirect expression ceo it’s funny you use the term liquidation value because the actual amount of $$$ from liquidating a coin might be <5% of its current market cap.
it’s grotesquely misleading to use market caps based on the entire “circulating” coin count (ie all except the ones locked up by developers) when daily volumes (in number of coins) is sooooooooooooo much smaller than the full coin count. cardano has what 26bn coins? would it’s market cap be the same if someone sold even 10% of that in a day?
there’s a market for volume weighted market caps maybe. if two coins have the same per coin price and the same coin count, but one has twice the volume, should they really have the same market cap? the stock market has has so much more depth than random altcoins that this isn’t a real concern |
