What if we measured crypto's total market capitalization against actual revenue instead? Makes you think about how traditional valuation metrics might reshape the way we look at this space.

Haha, based on income? Then most cryptocurrencies would be wiped out directly. Anyway, that's just how this circle is; market capitalization is all inflated, and there are very few that can actually make money.

That's a good question, but to be honest, most cryptocurrencies don't have any real sources of income... Looking at market cap alone is useless.

Haha, this is exactly what I always say—this circle is all air valuation. If we really calculated market cap based on revenue, how many projects would go straight to zero? I wouldn't even dare to calculate.

To be honest, this idea is a bit naive... Most crypto projects don't have any real income at all. What are they comparing to traditional valuations? Isn't this just asking for trouble?

Can traditional valuation methods really be applied to the crypto space? This logic seems a bit problematic...

This logic is just as flawed when applied to Web2... The real issue is that there are very few projects in the crypto space with genuine cash flow. Stop pretending.

ngl, revenue metrics would absolutely expose how many of these projects are just exit liquidity traps waiting to happen. DYOR before the rugpull indicators kick in.

This question hits the nail on the head... Most cryptocurrencies actually have no cash flow at all, so comparing them to traditional valuation methods becomes awkward.
