Don't remind me again today

Do you see K, M, B in crypto but don't know what's going on? Don't worry, it's easier than you think.



1K = 1,000 (the K comes from "kilo")
1M = 1,000,000 (one million)
1B = 1,000,000,000 ( billion )

Real examples that you see in crypto:
- "The market cap reached 100K USD" = $100,000
- "Bitcoin has a supply of 21M" = 21 million total coins
- "Ethereum has 1B transactions" = one billion

Why it matters: If you're on Twitter, YouTube, or following DeFi projects, these numbers appear ALL the time. Understanding them helps you read charts without getting confused and to avoid falling into FOMO when you see big numbers without context.

ProTip: Next time you see "X project reached 50M in volume", you already know = $50 million. Nothing out of this world if you put it in perspective.
