Market Cap should be one of if not the biggest factor to consider when looking for n

For a lot of these alt coins with hundreds of billions of coins in circulation this is a huge ask. Shiba was a great example of this: a lot of people thought shiba could reach $1 as doge did and plain and simply it could not. Total supply of shiba is 550 trillion coins so you would need a market cap of $550T to reach this price. </p> <p>Again, I’m sure none of this is new for most experienced investors here but newbies please take note. I like to look for coins with around $1-5B in market cap and a similarly sized total supply. This gives me a reasonable expectation of growth as well as a basic understanding of my price targets. This simple consideration has served me well on my crypto journey and I hope it can help you too!</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/ihopemyfriendslikeme"> /u/ihopemyfriendslikeme </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/r1kpdy/market_cap_should_be_one_of_if_not_the_biggest/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/r1kpdy/market_cap_should_be_one_of_if_not_the_biggest/">[comments]</a></span>Kind Regards R
