One of the first ideas that comes to mind when someone enters the crypto world is this:
“This coin is cheap, if it goes up a bit I will get rich.”
The problem is that in crypto, the unit price alone means nothing.
🔹 Why a crypto can “cost cents”
The price of a crypto depends on how many units exist.
If a project has billions or trillions of tokens, each one will be cheap, even if the entire project is worth a lot of money.
Simple example:
Project A: 21 million coins
Project B: 100 billion coins
The second will almost always have a much lower unit price, even if it's not better or worse.
🔹 What really matters (and almost no one looks at)
More important than the price is:
Market capitalization
The real utility of the token
Liquidity
The team and the ecosystem
The project's risk
A crypto can cost $0.01 and be completely inflated, or cost $200 and have solid fundamentals.
🔹 The typical beginner's mistake
Think about 'how many coins to buy' instead of 'what percentage of the project I have.'
Buying 1,000 tokens is not better than buying 0.01 if the real value behind is the same.
In crypto, fractions matter.
🔹 So, why do cheap cryptos attract so much?
Because psychologically:
They seem accessible
They give a sense of 'a lot for little'
They make you imagine great rises
It's not bad to start with them; the bad thing is to believe that a low price guarantees profits.
🔹 How to use them intelligently
Low-priced cryptos can serve to:
Learn how the market works
Understanding volatility and spreads
Use small amounts without fear
Try tools like Spot or Earn
Not to bet without criteria.
🏁 Conclusion
In crypto, there is no 'cheap' or 'expensive' by unit price.
There is risk, value, and context.
Who understands this stops chasing illusions and starts making better decisions.
