Why Cheap Coins Feel Safer (But Aren’t)

Cheap coins feel safe because they look small.

Buying 10,000 tokens at $0.001 feels better than buying 0.001 of something expensive. You feel diversified. You feel early. You feel like downside is limited.

But that feeling has nothing to do with risk.

It’s psychology.

This is unit bias at work. Our brain prefers owning more units, even if those units represent the same—or worse—value.

A low price doesn’t mean low risk.

Risk comes from market cap, supply, liquidity, and fundamentals, not how many zeros are in the price.

A $0.0001 token with massive supply can still fall 90%.

A higher-priced asset with strong liquidity can be far more stable.

Cheap coins feel safer because losses look smaller in dollars.

But percentage losses don’t care about price.

The real question isn’t “How cheap is it?”

It’s “How big is it, and why does it exist?”

Feeling safe is not the same as being safe.

What do you trust more in a tough market: quantity or quality?
