*there are cryptocurrencies that *can surpass the unit price of $BTC , *but that does not mean they will be worth more than Bitcoin in market value (market cap)*.
Let's clarify:
🧠 *1. Unit price is not everything*
- The *price per token* depends on the *total supply*.
- Bitcoin has *21 million units*. Other cryptos have *billions or trillions of units*.
👉 So, *a crypto with low supply (e.g., 1 million tokens)* can have a higher price than $BTC , but still be worth less in total.
📌 *Examples of tokens with high prices (or that can surpass $BTC )*
| Crypto | Current price approx. | Total supply | Can surpass BTC? |
|--------------|
| *Yearn Finance (YFI)* | US30,000+ | 36 thousand tokens | Has surpassed |
| *UMA* | Can reach high | Small supply | Potentially |
| *Maker (MKR)* | US 2,000–3,000 | ~1 million | Can grow significantly |
✅ These tokens have *high price per unit*, *but small market cap*.
🔍 *Why is it difficult for any crypto to surpass Bitcoin in total value (market cap)?*
- BTC has *greater security, acceptance, liquidity, and history*.
- Even if a crypto surpasses it in technology, it is hard to overcome its *institutional trust and global recognition.
