 This is why you shouldn't put your money into shit-tokens on shit-chains.

The combined cryptocurrency market cap of $3.05T is utter bullshit and it's probably one reason why people fall for the shitcoin and memecoin scams. because they really think that their shit-tokens have tens-of-millions in market cap while most tokens have $300-700k of actual liquidity. 

That's right, total diluted market cap $21M doesn't mean that there is $21M of liquidity in a token. It means that if ALL tokens were sold then that's 22M in THEORY. In reality most tokens go to zero the moment a hand full of whales dump their token and take back their liquidity.

Here are some examples to visualise the above.

Meme token WUFFI, $77M with $913k liquidity

STACK SATS AND BE HAPPY. Bitcoin's market cap is the only real market cap!
