In this eBook, we go in-depth to breakdown the crypto community’s reliance on market capitalization and explore ways this key cryptocurrency metric can be improved. Nathaniel Whittemore and Clay Collins provide years of experience in cryptocurrency, venture capital and market strategy and have developed this well-researched, easy-to-use guide to the cryptocurrency market capitalization metric.
In this guide, the reader will learn about:

The conversation about market cap is more than a question about metrics. It is a question about value – and specifically, how to understand the overall value of crypto asset networks. By continuing to improve the metrics by which we measure network value, we don’t just make it easier for traders to compare coins but make it easy for teams and communities to benchmark their work to make their networks valuable. Better metrics mean better networks.
