What is the fair percentage of a total max supply that are in circulation that can make you invest in a project? It is fine to avoid a project that has low circulating supply? Why? What about if the project is a brand new project and the use case is killing it?

In a way yeah, any projects with a small circulating supply has a good chance of increasing a lot in price especially when such projects has a solid utility that drives demand for it.
A project with big circulating supply will not have enough room for price growth before the mc reaches a very high level. Besides the project quality, investors also look at supply to determine the price growth capacity.

I don't have an exact reference as to what a fair percentage of tokens are in circulation. Because each project has its own tokenomics. It's also all about the use-cases they offer and the enthusiasm from the crypto public. Even though the percentage in circulation is only 1%, but the token use-case doesn't exist or there's no enthusiasm from the crypto public. Everything will be bullshit.


The less supply that's in circulation when investing, the more promising the investment will be. So, the answer is "FINE".

I don't have any problem with max supply as long the team doesn't temper with it and the contract, if it remain fix, the token will perform well regardless of what tokens are in circulation, the only place I think circulation supply usually have problem is when there is concentration of tokens to a group of whales who can damage the price and control the price, when this happen, they can go far by manipulating the Dao and everything will always be in their favour. Do you know that a coin can be healthy when the total supply is unlock and even distributedm by that I mean distributed in decentralized way in the sense that coins are not congested in a particular wallet.

All these arguments are certainly understandable and certainly make sense. And on a more positive note, coins with fewer in circulation have a better impact on investment choices. But when investing in a project, I no longer look at this, but at the usefulness of the development for the community. That is, the positive use of the product as a whole

Might see new projects get pumped and move fast due to its hype but after that, the drastic drop is also about to witness. Those projects that have no use case will never go far in the long run instead, they will just die. When looking for a project to invest in, we'd rather choose those projects that have a low cap as they have a huge chance to grow in the future compared to those projects that have a huge circulating supply. But of course, it also matters on the project developers and their role in the market because as admitted that not all are worth to invest either. Research is a vital thing to do, otherwise.

Not certainly familiar thoroughly on tokenomics but if circulating supply is low and the market cap is already high I think that's not the way to pick it. I bookmark a thread on Twitter that goes through about the knowledge on tokenomics and I'm still learning about it. If it has potential to be used by the masses I think that's fine.

Obviously is one of the basic tenant of economics, law of supply and demand.

So yeah, if there is like billions of supply of some certain coin, then it's hard for the price to go up because there are a lot of them in the market. So vice-versa, low cap projects could potentially flew in price if there investors who are going to flock on it because of the low making the price shoot up.

In any case it's one of the factor, but obviously there are other reasons for the project to be successful.

Some good projects have a low supply and yet they are doing great in terms of their value, so this will depend on the project itself and don’t just based your investment decision by just looking at their total supply, try to consider other indicator as well before you invest. Personally, I prefer those good projects will a low supply volume because they are more expensive especially if there’s a lot of supporter and investor for that project.

I will still invest despite the huge max supply. It just needs some good evidence that the team is serious and have already achieved some of its milestone from the roadmap.

Whether we like it or not, even if it's not what you are after, the people and investors are looking forward to making a profit and seeing the price of the token be more than what it was since yesterday.

actually total supply is an important indicator for estimating prices but total supply is not the only indicator in estimating prices. if you want to invest do not make the total supply as the main indicator because many other indicators are also important to determine the price and future of the project. other important indicators e.g. partners, community and locked tokens.

Low supply, and a good project most likely will appreciate in value while having a huge supply yet the project is not that good can be a big issue. Investors are looking for the fundamentals of the project as well, if they saw good usage then they will surely buy. For me, I prefer those who have a small supply but offers a great service and technology, they usually enter the top spot.

coin supply is very influential on market prices, we can see that btc has a predetermined supply until the end of its journey, the value given is truly fantastic when people in this world know it, and want to own it,
for new coins themselves at this time there are rarely coins that have a small supply of course a fantastic supply, but they have their own way of convincing new investors by burning their coins regularly, whose goal is to make the price go up

of course circulating supply matters, it determines the value that it deserve, usually coin with too much of circulating supply will have low valuation, many would think that it's just shitcoin unless the project itself already having good quality before hand then releasing some of the vested coin will do fine for their valuation. if you are trying to invest in new coin and find their total supply and circulating supply too much better not invest.

fair percentage of the circulating supply is relative. but the key take away is that, the smaller it gets, the more price it'd carry, even ethereum despite being famous altcoin still like to burn and reduce its total supply.
of course any coin that you invested to should do the same if they want increase their price.

Yes! Circulating supply matters because it affects the price of the token or coins.  We all know that price is dependent on supply and demand so whenever one of these factors changes the price of token will move accordingly.  More supply means the market is saturated and the price will be reduced, while more demand means the price will increase because people are buying.  So the circulating supply does matters because it is the indicator whether the price of the token will have the possibility of surging or not.

even I'd be very hesitant investing if the circulating supply is humongous that I'd always consider such coin as shit coin or meme token, despite not being one.
total supply is essential, much more circulating supply that affects the price in the market. i'd say if it's seemed too much of a circulating supply and the coin unlocked are also massive, then it'd hardly ever increase in term of value. so, circulating supply determine quality of such project and whether it deserve investment or not at all.

But price compared to it matters a lot as that defines the marketcap. Number itself (of circulating supply) can be anything, big of small, that doesn't matter. There can be even ton of digits after it, it doesn't matter either.

But calculating marketcap via circulating supply can be misleading if you don't know the token issuance rate and max supply. Because issuance rate could flood the market with too much tokens for market makers to handle. That would mean inflation and total crash.

Fundamentals (as token use cases) is whole another subject.

A supply that actually makes sense with the use case that the project wants to present. I certainly don't see any advantage to investing in a project that has a seemingly infinite number of coins at its release with no plans to balance it out according to their project plans. A big token supply can actually be understandable if the mechanics for it being burned (or something similar) is rather big as well, it's just like any regular good project, just scaled up in terms of token numbers.

It matters to me, because I would need to analyze if the cause use, the adoption and the cases where burning may take place may have a good possibility to overcome the future (planned) inflation expected to be suffered by the coin, due to the increase of the circulating supply.

If the circulating supply is low it means there is much planned inflation ahead.
If the circulating supply is high and the development/adoption continues to increase, then there is more chance to a increase in the price/market capitalization.

Bitcoin is a good example of this latter case, in my opinion.

Also, we must keep in mind what kind of power the developers have over said percentage, whether they can or not to artificially decrease or increase it. For obvious reasons.

Tokenomics. Because there are more coins available for trading when there is a higher circulating supply, it can be more challenging for a cryptocurrency to experience significant price increases. The fewer coins available for trading, a cryptocurrency may be more susceptible to price increases if its circulating supply is smaller.

In my view so far avoiding low supply projects can be a wise choice as low supply can maximally affect the asset price and project performance.
If the project is a new project and the use case kills it then it should be a serious consideration. New projects usually have a higher risk than established projects. However, if there is confidence that the project can thrive and be well received by the market then it may be worth considering.

Yes supply is the most important metric to determine how to price a token. If the supply is unlimited and you need to look at the mining rate or supply issuance rate.

For example, most don’t realize how many dogecoins there are. Not only that but the mining supply is still huge. If you understood this then you would realize that Dogecoin at $1,$5 or $10 just isn’t possible.

Well, personally I choose a project that doesn't have supply too much and not too low too, if that project has a big circulating supply I prefer to that project having a burning feature it will help to attract new investors to invest in that project, if a project has low circulating supply it should have anti dump feature cause a token that having low supply easily up and down like 100% in few hours.

It matters to me as it gives a headlight on what the future of the project holds. If the project has a good use case with a stable fundamental behind them and the circulating supply is low, then there's a tendency that the acclaimed project would still grow. Most especially the ones that come with a small max supply.

n terms of avoiding a project with low circulating supply, it can be a wise decision in some cases. A low circulating supply can mean that a large portion of the tokens are held by the project team, investors, or other parties, which could lead to price manipulation and volatility.

Almost every project has their own TGE release schedule and we can observe and judge the potential for return or risk in which we invest.
And I see that most tokens/coins will have a plan to lock and unlock slowly to create fairness for everyone.
Therefore, pay attention to the projects that are transparent in providing unambiguous information, because today many projects appear only to follow the trend and do not have a long-term plan, they just want to accelerate tokens to the market and earn money from investors.

in terms of supply this can push support to where the highest price position can be predicted. What's more, if you see a good project and a very small supply, this is very possible for a significant price. what is most important to me is the performance of the project team, because the pattern of the project going forward is only this team, the main thing is to pay attention, in my opinion

When it comes to the circulating supply, the integrity of the team matters, since they may give information that is inaccurate. An ICO handles it differently with access to information about distributed tokens and wallets holding them, as well as the purchase process. Now the team can claim they will reserve a certain amount of tokens for the team and marketing while pushing huge amounts of coins to influencers and themselves without staking and gradually dumping them.

In order to invest in a project, the circulating supply should contain as few coins of the main investors as possible, if we are talking about new projects. When the price is at the bottom and the circulating supply consists mainly of speculators' and public investors' coins, this is a good sign, because such projects, having a small supply grow in price very quickly.

I think from tokenomics you can see how much the token allocation is for each part, if the team holds too many tokens it's best to avoid it.
This is just my personal opinion, feel free to do whatever you think.

there are lots of projects the tokens supply of which are minimum but their worth is higher. So it doesn't matter that how much circulation is there but it depends on the value. Sometimes if the amount of tokens are low but if wait for the proper timing then further enhancement will occur in price. The worth of tokens also depends on utility of these tokens and also the interests of the people for these tokens. The supply does not matter because if there are large number of tokens but have less value then there will be no benefits to the participants but if the circulation is lower but value is high so it will be worthy for the participants

We should have not invested in projects blindly but rather put into consideration that circulating supply is a big factor that would influence the future of a particular project. We have noticed that a small circulating supply dominates the market increase than those projects that have a huge supply. Well, the thing is that even though it generates huge demand it only gives a small impact on its price. Now, if we think about long-term investment, we can't expect that our invested money will grow fast but rather expect a few increments of it.

Can do the both, low and high supply.

Because what matters now is the actual usage of the project and use case. That's making everyone invest into a project but there are conservative investors that have this type of condition about having low or high supply of a project.

Then that's so much better.

I think the most important thing to do is to look at is the lock-up period, if a project has a low circulating supply and the remaining tokens are locked up for a year, it is a good buy because there is no one coming to dump on you, but if the project has low circulating supply but the remaining tokens enter the market daily or weekly even monthly, I won't touch it. I like tokens that have most of VCs tokens released or almost released, VCs are sharks they will dump on you but if the team dumps on you, people will protest and they will need to explain and justify their actions because they need to show they are it in for a long term

Most people also look at the total supply of the coin before investing. Because it can affect the price increase during a bull. However, the amount of supply that is too low is also less convincing, if the coin price is low. Because it allows someone to hold half of the total coins. I'm more interesting with coins in the hundreds of millions, but I don't like coins with billions. Billions of coins seem like a joke, let alone trillions of coins.

Thank you for reaching out to me. I am happy to help in any way I can. Whether you need more information or have a specific question, please feel free to ask. Your interest is greatly appreciated, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. If there is anything else I can assist you with, please do not hesitate to let me know.

I think the general circulation greatly affects the future price of the token in the project.Personally, a large number of tokens scares me off.For me it does not look promising more like the developers are trying to attract as many new users as possible due to the cheap price.

Supply is one of the most important aspects when choosing a token to invest. A high supply will make this token unlikely to achieve adoption (as other investors will not show interest for it) and superior price levels, due to the continuous set of tokens being put for sale on the market. The same is valid when there are high interest rates being offered over the token.

However, there is a powerful mechanism that must be noticed, which can potentially make a high circulating supply still worthful, that is the burning thing. If the burning rates (number of tokens which are destroyed from times to times, consequently decreasing supply) are decent, it's possible this token is still a good idea on long term.

Analyze each case separately. Identify every features presented to reach the best conclusion for yourself.

I choose coins for investment based on these things;
 - circulating supply
 - exchanges

Investing in the low cap is usually the most preferred by the majority knowing the fact that this will have the chance for the price to grow.
However, it did not just stop there as we also consider the exchanges where it was listed for this will also affect its trend and the interest of the investors/traders. Because not all projects that have low circulating supply become successful, some also fail due to lack of support from the developers and yes, it is listed only in not popular exchanges.

I think that considering circulating supply for holding certain altcoins is needed. At least, we know that the coins or tokens are still having a good circulating supply in the market. This may not become the only criterion, but this becomes one of the criteria to consider about buying a certain coin or token. this will also influence at least how the coin or token will survive in the market. But if this is for a new project, at least we know how the developer and teams are managing and developing the project, choosing the market, and focusing on the project's progress and development to be measured very well in the market, even during bearish or bullish.

How a coin survive in the market in not on the circulating supply but rather on the performance of the developers and marketers.  The circulation is directly connected on the price of the cryptocurrency.  A project can survive even with quintillion circulating supply as long as the developer and community is supporting the cryptocurrency but the price growth will be hindered because there are too much supply of coins or tokens in the market.  Just like when the price of this cryptocurrency started to go up, the available supply that is ready to sell in the market will make the price retrace once it is dumped.  Unless the demand overcomes the supply, we will never see the increase in price of a overly saturated cryptocurrency.

In my point of view the  fair percentage of a total max supply that are in circulation can vary depending on the project and the use case. Generally, a project with a high circulating supply (above 50%) is viewed as more attractive for potential investors because it suggests that the project has already gained traction in the market and has been adopted by a large user base.
On the other hand, a project with a low circulating supply may not be a good investment if it is a brand new project and its use case is not strong. This is because, without a strong use case, it is unlikely that the project will be able to gain traction in the market and increase its circulating supply.

in judging fairness in investment of new altcoins I think instead of sweating over the circulating supply i'd say it's better to judge the tokenomics instead, you'd see greedy developer is when the token reserved for themselves are too much.
the circulating supply will only determine the value that it has after release, but tokenomics could show how good a project actually is, and if there's any harmful practice done by the developers that could actually make you lose money.

I think that circulating supply didn't matter a lot for me. The thing that matters a lot for me is about how the allocation for the token. the vesting period. The allocation must be fair. It must not be fully owned by the project, there must be also vesting period that to make sure if the inflation will not be crazy caused by the dev was dumping their tokens. I think that this is the main concern by people prefer to choose token with low allocation to the developers. that's it.

Yes, This greatly helps me in finding hidden gems in the crypto space. Circulating supply is one of the factors that I'm seeing or judging if the altcoin is underpriced and helps me a lot in making profit. Though It's not that the case everytime since there are other factors too. Tokenomics, The team and the project product itself is just another important factors too. I remember myself back then being lucky to find low supply coins and having a low price, also being on my standard as a good coin in which I made most of my profits on trading. Small factors are just as important as those big factors in researching a potential project.

for me it's not a matter of max supply but the most important thing is the initial circulation at the time of listing because that is the starting point for the formation of market interest in the project. if the initial circulation is too large then market interest will decrease and vice versa. I think the initial circulation is not more than 20% (adjust max supply).

More the supply, less is the trust that it gets from userbase. Take bitcoin for an example, with a limited supply, it is going to get scarce over time and thus its demand rises automatically, you dont need to pump the price or make some manipulation everyday to raise its price.

In general with a large supply you never know which investor might actually drop their bag and run causing the market price to crash. With advisors knowing that these projects will never do well in the long run, often resort to such practices, the investors who might be genuinely interested in it, also lose their cool and get frustrated.

Anything in the crypto space has risks, so risk and return factors need to be considered. I see that as the project has growth potential and expansion opportunity, the investment in the project will be more likely to be profitable. As well as assessing the cost of investing in a project, this includes initial investment costs and operating costs. If the total cost exceeds the expected return, the project may not be worth the investment.
When observing TGE, I am sure most people can appreciate these aspects, so learn to research and experience more to have valuable experiences in this space.

Your question is so convincing. There's a difference between total supply and Max supply. However, I believe a 21 Million max supply is enough but the total supply of a project doesn't count to me and what's important is the project's fundamental concept, utility, etc.


Circulating supply won't stop me from investing in a project whose use case and concept are killing it

If 100% is better, it means that there are no tokens left for the developer. But if it doesn't reach 100% it's not a problem either, as long as the project can be trusted. In fact, it's rare for a project whose total token circulation reaches 100%. It depends on the sales amount during presale.

It all depends if it is a new project or not. Checking for circulating supply is very important and for the market cap also to know whether the project we are about to invest in I'd going to do well in the market or not. This  used to give us a detail of what kind of project we are investing in and what could be the probability of the project doing well in the market.

Bigger supply means lower demand right? This is I guess enough to explain its importance. We saw many projects having large circulating token supply which ended up falling afterwards. But does lower token supply determines a good project? Nope, but it is one of the factor. The concept itself, long term vision, and utility itself of the token or project in general, are others, in my opinion. This is not to generalize as well given that there are succeeding projects which are having large market cap. What it implies is that, it will give a project an advantage if it won't be that large because demand will instantly follow especially IF the project itself earned popularity on its release.

Circulating supply during listing matters a lot. I meant let's take a look at some tokens with big circulating supply and this gives more pressure to the price of token compared with token with less cirtulating supply during the listing. The vesting period means a lot caused by this will be preventing the dump to at the listing time caused by the inflation can be controlled by the developers. Circulating supply matters a lot caused by this will determine how many coins available in the market.

big circulating supply are generally fine if accompanied with the fact that it has quite the liquid backing it up, and what I mean by that is the fact that despite the circulating supply, there are many that still try to invest in it thus the supply will do nothing but increase the general market capitalization making the coin bigger.
It's only bad if coin like meme coin with no utility at all that have that much circulating supply, that just means there's more useless coin in circulation meaning, everyone could easily get the coin relatively easy therefore the value plummeted.
see ethereum, despite having so much total supply, it will still valued high enough mainly because it's just that good.

Don't really pay attention, for examples like shiba inu where the supply is very huge but because the price is still fairly reasonable then it's not a problem and it will be a problem if we invest in coins with a very huge supply and expect high prices like hoping for a price of $1 on shiba inu .
But the developers understand how important it is to maintain their supply in the market that's why many coins use the burn method like what Binance did for their coin BNB, the first time crypto appeared when going to burn it was often used to pump up the market but it seems it's not working well anymore so burning coins is only done to maintain supply.

In general, a low circulating supply could be an indication of a project's potential for growth, but it could also make the project vulnerable to price manipulation or volatility. Therefore, it is not advisable to make investment decisions based solely on the circulating supply. The decision to invest in a project should be based on multiple factors, such as the project's overall vision, team, technology, use case, market demand, and competition, among others.

You can evaluate the value of circulating supply if you have thoroughly researched the tokenomics of a project and understand how they have allocated the tokens in the initial phase. If you see that the circulating supply is way too lower than the max supply, you should think that what if the remaining supply is released in the market later on? That can affect the price for sure.

So it is probably better if a token/coin has a circulating supply closer to its maximum supply which means that there is no chance of the team or some early investors dumping their coins in the market later on and put a huge impact on the price of the coin/token.

If you are talking about the amount of tokens that are already available for trading and other stuff in comparison to those tokens that are still locked and will get unlocked in the future, then i think it is pretty hard to give a general statement here. For example, if you have a very young project that is also still relatively small, then i think it is not a big problem, if a big share of the total supply is not yet in circulation and still locked. If you are having a project, that is already very big and that already has a very high marketcap at the moment, then i think it is not a good if they still have a lot of token to be unlocked. You always have to look at the fully diluted market cap then.

It is necessary to know how many coins early investors have and the timing of their unlock, as this can significantly affect the price of the coin. There is even such a trading strategy when you sell coins before unlocking investors' coins, and buy after unlocking when the Circulating Supply increases, which leads to a decrease in the price of the coin.

Its important about circulating supply about some token, not interested for investing in token or coin have much circulating supply and really need to know about the project have exact amount or circulating on the market. Some coins or token minting later about their supply due developer can manage well how to make the circulating supply added suddenly.

But not guarantee with all coins or token with small circulating supply will be up and the other side with coins have bigger supply will drop, many time with coins have bigger circulating supply drop drastically. Not only about circulating supply but also how developer trusted or not and can manage well about their project keep on higher price.

It all depends on how long the venture investors tokens will be blocked. For example, if tokens are blocked for 3 years, there is no point in buying after unblocking the venture investors tokens, because by that time the price will on the contrary increase, so investors can sell their coins in the overheated market. After their total sell-offs it may happen that everyone will forget about the coin and it will be extremely risky to buy after all the major investors have fixed their profits.

It doesn't matter to me unless the project has been out for years and the circulating supply is not increasing, this is when to be very suspicious about the project, a new project will have a small circulating supply at first, and as time goes by the circulating supply will increase. 

Before I decide to invest in a project, I always make sure I understand the token economy of a project. I don't just look at the circulating supply but also consider the maximum supply of the project.

Some projects has a total supply but no maximum supply which means new tokens can be printed whenever they want and be introduced into the market. Coin like dogecoin has an infinite amount of supply.

As for circulating supply, unless the tokens are locked for a very long amount of time, I won't be comfortable if the circulating supply isn't upto 30% of the total supply available to the market to trade.

Though there can be some rare exemptions, I would always prefer to deal with low-supply type of projects...maybe not more than 100 million though it all depends a lot on the type of project, how useful it can be, how the market is perceiving it and the people behind the platform. Usually, there a lot of factors why a platform can be valuable aside from the published circulating supply. We have to remember that there are low-supply projects that got a lot of problems taking off. and got no big potential for real growth. So we need to balance things off in trying to understand this whole thing.

When the token circulation is large enough, then you need to have a large amount of liquidity to avoid falling prices, no one can control the price of tokens in the market, but too many tokens are not good for the price of tokens in the future. therefore tokens need to have a max supply

It ultimately depends on various factors such as the nature of the project, the total supply, the token economics, and the overall market conditions.

It's important to note that the circulating supply is just one factor to consider when evaluating a project.

Regarding brand new projects, if the use case is compelling and the project has a solid team and community support, it may be worth considering investing in despite the low circulating supply.

Falling prices for every project are unavoidable. You will not know when they are about to fall but having these factors like the circulating supply and its market cap will give you an idea of whether to proceed to invest and hold it.

Except the meme coins that has unlimited supply and that determines the price for each of them because if a project has a limited supply, how much it got can easily be computed and you'll project the future price of it, market cap and your potential profit. I am sure that many does that before they invest.

such thing usually already being shown in tokenomics, when the vested unlocked, how much circulating supplies will increase, could also be used to judge whether a project is having abnormal allocation, but the most important thing is that the project has quality.

A coins that have good amount of supply in circulation are most likely not doing good and also its price would be low too since when a person demands the said token then they can get it since the supply is not low. It's all about supply and demand, I am sure you know what it is. The more people demand and yet the supply is low then the more people pay more money just to own it

I think this isn't a strategy at all but more like a common sense. They need to sell early because they are afraid that the coin will dump when it was unlocked as those big investors might sell a big portion of their coins. If they did and the price dips, that is also a perfect time for buying but you should only do that if you already research about the project and you found out that it is not a shit coin, hype coin or something like that. Circulating supply won't be included there for no reasons but they play a role along with other data's. We need to make use of them in order to be more successful when investing.

First of all yes it does matter how much supply is there for a particular coin. Secondly, the reason why it is important lies in the basic formula of exchange that is demand and supply. It is but obvious that if circulating supply is very high then there would be no situation where we will have demand for that coin. If any High demands pops in then it would be simply diluted due to high and continue supply. This can over the time create an inflation like situation and thus make it harder for that coin to grow in terms of price per unit. I believe we should have Short supply and high demand will drive the projects success in no time.

That is one good point, additionally the performance of high volume of circulation coins has been low due to inflation and advisors walking away from them. Most of the successful ones are deflationary, which is not a symbol of following bitcoin but rather not following the fiat economy of inflation.

The investors who are using trading as method to make money in the short or long term want to see prices and thus they want bigger prices in their time period.

If the project is good although there are very few one's which have actual use case then supply always matter.The low supply and high demand even for temporary period can give you profits to fill your bags then we should focus on all things before investment.The more supply is not a bad thing if there is utility and demand to keep circulation for long period so main is how well the coin can do in market.

the circulating supply is not very important to me and what is important in my opinion is the total supply, because a lot of total supply also has an impact on the price, make the price is difficult to increase very high (unless there is a burn), but what I avoid the most is an unlimited total supply, because it is very risky and makes me never invest in the project (unlimited total supply).

I also think that the total supply plays a bigger role than the circulating supply. And if the total supply is not limited, it can indeed play a bad role at any time. From the last one I can recall the LUNA crash, when a huge number of coins were issued in a few days. I guess that's what started the chain of bankruptcies and the bear market.

Personally if I think that the use-cases of the projects is not sustainable, I would choose not to invest into it at the first place. However, there might be times that it'll be challenging to tell if the project does have a good use-cases or none. As per the circulating supply, I don't think the success of it depends to that a lot, adoption does.

That is certain as some people are just focused on the circulating supply minding out how the total supply can affect the price. However, choosing coins doesn't just stop but also consider if that project has a use-case that would absolutely help us to determine the future of this project. Circulating supply or total supply, well, what matters most is to see the project continuously developing as the price will grow in the long run as long they show that they are worthy enough to trust.

Both are important, without an use case then it is impossible for any coin to achieve long term success, as a coin needs a strong community to survive and this is only possible if people find the coin useful.

However we cannot simply ignore the supply, even if a coin was good, if it had an almost unlimited supply eventually the coin will fail, as people will realize that their coins have a very high chance of losing their purchasing power on the future.

Circulating supply is very important if you have short to medium term investment intentions. The limited circulating supply in the market gives altcoins the opportunity to increase sharply before the total supply is released and circulated.

Unlimited supply does not tell if the project has potential or not, let's not forget that ETH is also a coin with unlimited supply, and it is the queen of altcoins. To evaluate a project with potential or not, I think it needs a lot of factors, supply is just a small factor that is not too important.

Circulating supply does matter to some extent when I'm considering investing in a project, but it's not the only factor. A fair percentage of the max supply in circulation really depends on the project, its stage of development, and its overall potential. If a project has high supply coin, then likely the value of each coin would be very less. If the supply goes high all of the sudden, this will indeed crash the price of the coin. If a coin has very low supply, it might raise some concerns, because very likely the developers are using the low supply to manipulate the market.  The main thins is, you should dig deeper into the project's tokenomics, roadmap, and see how the team plans to distribute the coins in the market. If the project has a killer usecase, I doubt supply would  be an issue.

Any coin with the supply of atleast 1000BTC is the minimum requirement on an exchange for me to consider the pair for trading purpose alone, about investment I gave up on investing then a long time ago especially after 2018 I am convinced that no more project is going to be launched with any other intention than money making so only for trading preference I will go with minimum of 1000 BTC or I will stuck with my pending trade order for long time which I don't prefer.

actually it depends on the project, if the total supply is a lot but the project is good and useful, then I might still be interested to investing in the project, but I've never invested in a project that has unlimited total supply, because the price is very difficult to increase, so I prefer to avoid it than I take the risk to invest in a project whose total supply is unlimited.

Right, it's also worth paying attention to the distribution of supply among categories of investors. If the developers and main investors hold the bulk of the supply, then such a coin can easily make a dump, especially if the timing of unlocking such coins is not that far from the listing date of that project on the exchange. If most of the coins are blocked, however, it is worth calculating the FDV parameter to understand how much money the project will need to raise when the supply on the market increases.

The fair percentage of a total max supply that can make an investor invest in a project is subjective and can vary depending on the individual's investment strategy and risk tolerance. Some investors may prefer projects with a lower circulating supply as it may indicate scarcity and potential for price appreciation, while others may prefer projects with a higher circulating supply as it may indicate a more stable and established project. It is not necessarily wrong to avoid a project with low circulating supply, as it may pose higher risk such as susceptibility to market manipulation and volatility. It is important to conduct thorough research and analysis of the projects fundamentals and team before making investment decisions.

A more important metric is if there is any kind of hard cap to the amount of coins which will be created and how many of those coins are being held by the developers, if there is no cap and the developers kept a great deal of the coins due to a premine or some other excuse then that is a coin that I will never use, as the developers simply gave themselves too much power which they can exploit at any moment and scam their investors in the process.

Low total supplies have the potential to make the price of the coins rise higher like what we see from the current top altcoins nowadays and also add the event where they burn some coins from the total supplies, it will gonna make the demand bigger and the liquidity healthy but these things will not gonna happen just because of that. other important matters are needed as well, especially the credibility of the owners of that project and also the team behind it because if they are totally unanimous and they are a completely new team with no known credentials, all those traits for a coin is nothing.

What does individual coin price has to do with anything with the percentual rise growth, demand or liquidity? What about decimals, do they need to be lower too?
Anyway, only thing that matters regarding to tokens is their issuance rate as that might cause inflation, so staking / mining rate needs to be unsustainable. But this has nothing to do with max supply as it applies to low supply coins/tokens as well.

The large amount of total supply or circulating supply does not matter, what matters is the team serious and what the road map of the project and whitepepper to know the plans of the Meme Coin, take a look of Shiba Inu,  and HEX Coin, this two coin surprised me, and is when I was new in cryptocurrency market which I have come and cross them at early stage, I was doubt because of the circulating supply, but later the early investors make a lot of profits. That makes me change a mindset not to look huge supply, but look towards the team and plan of the project.

Circulating supply means how liquid is the coin is, but it has no correlation to know if the coin is legit or not based on the circulating supply. Many shitcoin has a high circulating supply due to trend or hype, this make people are trying to make a quick profit. They think since the circulating supply is high, it's mean people are really want it, so he hold than sell it to make a huge return. But he's not expect tomorrow the circulating supply of the coin is really low.

If the circulating supply is very large, like DOGE or PEPE, but a coin costs for example 1 dollar, this is a reason to think that not many coins are in circulation at the moment, and that there will be a unlock in the future. When new coins come on the market, the price will drop and not likely recover to its previous value. Or coins appear every day, like EVMOS from the COSMOS ecosystem. Because of the increased supply, the price is constantly falling.

We should not always based on decisions on the circulating supply of a crypto project because even with that, the project can still crash. I need to based out decisions on how strong the project team is and what they have to offer to the community. When you see a project that have an experienced team backing it, the team would be ready to spend money money on marketing plans and budget because that is of the tools to attract investors to a project to increase awareness and the rate investors would be longing to holding the project token for as long as they want.

It is true that it has nothing to do with it, however there are many newbies out there which see the high price of bitcoin and think that coins like dogecoin or ripple have greater potential as the price of each coin is on the low side, forgetting the massive market cap of those two coins and how this is a very important factor when it comes to trying to determine the potential gains a coin may give, so taking this into consideration it makes more sense for developers to create a massive supply for their coin as a way to try to keep this idea on the minds of newbies for as long as they can.

This is very common among shitcoins being promoted with hype. The reason why many newbies fall into buying these shitcoins and not bitcoin. They don't understand that Bitcoin even in a limited and small supply is for the long term. However many people make profits over such coins but such people are only a handful who would not come to forums like these.

Hence circulating supply makes sense but then when you keep yourself limited to bitcoin you don't need to worry about it.

Circulating supply does not matter any longer here in cryptocurrency market, because Meme Coin that has large amount of circulating supply are really doing well than so many coins that has less circulating supply, because what matters is the team and how the project being built and working towards the roadmap of the project through website, before investing in any new coin's, have to do your research for better understanding, while holding for long term or short term holding investment.

When there is a low circulating supply relative to the total/max supply, usually the case is : the DEVs control that max supply by holding it in their own wallets and waiting for the project to gain traction.
They flood the market once it gets listed.
Once listed in big exchange, the price goes up, they unload their reserves at market prices, and they cash their checks.

I believe that there isnt a 'one-size-fits-all' answer to the fair percentage of the max supply in circulation that would make a project attractive for investment.

Regarding low supply coins, wouldn't it be rather hasty to infer manipulation on part of the developers? After all, a low supply doesn't inherently signify market manipulation!

I do agree with your view on the importance of the project's tokenomics and roadmap. It's always critical to dig deeper. But your point about a killer use case potentially overriding supply concerns—aren't we treading on thin ice here?

I think the total number of tokens is not that important. First of all, I always look at tokenomics, because it can be used to understand what percentage the team will own and how the common pool is divided and for what purposes it is much more important than just the number. Using these parameters, you can roughly estimate whether the project is worth attention or not.

circulating supply honestly matters so much when the coin initially gets listed in some exchange, it being frequently used to determine the real value of a coin.
from the circulating supply alone we could somehow have a rough guess at which value some coin gonna start at.

I just don't understand why people are not speaking out, project should have more than 50% of its current supply in the market at launch, this was how things were at the beginning of Crypto but the VC's greed has destroyed trust. A lot of these projects' prices are down only just because the team and the VCs keep dumping on retailers. Inch is a good project with bad tokenomics, the price of the tokens has been down only and I don't see this changing and there are many projects in this space that are in a worse situation than Inch. I am not surprised all these small-cap projects are receiving some love recently even VCs and warming up to them. BNB is a very good example of how tokenomics should be managed, not pumped at the beginning and down from there

Do you mean it should have less then 50% in the market at launch? Because you can't really prevent people from dumping when most of it is circulating already.

Also bitcoin didn't have any circulation when it started and it's doing fine. Method of circulating coins at the start came only after icos with premined coins and after that layer 2 token sales where supply was distributed between buyers and others.

Pumping your own token or coin would be down right illegal, so it's either done by pump & dump crews or with organic growth,
BNB was pretty much basic ICO with erc20 tokens and that too was dumped at the start, in hindsight it was a short time when it was still dumping but no one knew that at the time, also binance seemed very much like a scam at the start with pointless erc20 exchange token and no one wasn't sure if it's going to be in it's own chain any time soon. Or ever.

Of course it is very important, because before buying or investing in a coin,
one of the things that must be analyzed is the circulation of the supply and the total supply,
so that we know what the appropriate price is for the coin, whether we are buying expensive or undervalued,
so that is the importance of analyzing supply.

It's doesn't matter if circulating supply is high or not even max supply is infinity like ETH, XRP and BNB as long as the project have a good fundamental and big ecosystem on their development it's not make me worry about it which is never invest on altcoin with don't have utility without clear prospect such meme coin. Safe investment your money in the right place and entry at the right time

So, can you expect another xrp or ethereum to come at this moment? it's caused by ethereum has proven its reliability for long term. The new projects were only abusing the unlimited supply for shady things only.

BNB as limited supply and it's wrong if you called it has unlimited supply at this moment.

There are many coins in the crypto market that experience pump and dump, and I believe that coins with low circulating supply have a higher chance of being pumped compared to coins with high supply. However, I must admit that there are some exceptions to this rule, but my preference is always for low-supply coins. Nevertheless, it cannot be said that a coin will be successful just because it has a low supply. It largely depends on the developers and team behind it, their genuineness, and how actively they work on their projects. Simply having a low supply doesn't make much of a difference.

Yes, for me it counts is one of the first things i look at before investing, let's say that the max supply must be relatively low so as the altcoin can acquire more value over time and the team must not retain more than 20% as reserves

I completely understand your inclination towards low-supply coins and their potential for being pumped in the crypto market. While it's true that coins with low circulating supply can be more susceptible to price manipulation, it's important to consider a range of factors when evaluating the success and long-term prospects of a cryptocurrency.

The developers and team behind a project play a crucial role in determining its credibility and future growth. Their genuine commitment to the project, technical expertise, and active engagement with the community are vital factors that can contribute to the success of a coin. It's crucial to assess the team's track record, their responsiveness to community feedback, and their ability to deliver on the project's roadmap.

While low supply can create scarcity and potentially drive up the price, it doesn't guarantee the coin's success on its own. Market demand, adoption potential, use case, technological innovation, and overall market conditions also play significant roles in shaping the destiny of a cryptocurrency.

Furthermore, it's important to acknowledge that not all low-supply coins experience significant price appreciation or gain long-term value. The crypto market is dynamic, influenced by various factors such as market sentiment, regulatory developments, and technological advancements. Therefore, it's essential to conduct thorough research and due diligence before investing in any coin, regardless of its supply metrics.

Diversification and a well-rounded investment strategy are key in navigating the crypto market. By spreading investments across different coins with varying supply levels, one can potentially mitigate risk and capitalize on different opportunities.

In summary, while low supply can increase the potential for price manipulation and pump and dump schemes, success in the crypto market is not solely dependent on supply metrics. It's crucial to evaluate the overall project, team credibility, market dynamics, and community engagement to make informed investment decisions.

Remember to stay updated, conduct thorough research, and approach the crypto market with a critical mindset. Investing in cryptocurrencies carries inherent risks, and it's important to make informed decisions aligned with your investment goals.

I would choose a project that already has supply circulation close to max supply. Because if a token still has a total circulation of less than 20% of the max supply then I can say that there will be a possibility that in the future the price will decrease as the amount of supply increases to the circulating supply.

Actually, it does matter because not every project can gain as much success as the ones you've mentioned, and we have seen what generally happens with tokens or coins that have very high supplies, look at the meme coins which have very high supplies and that is the reason why they struggle to gain significant value even if they get a lot of investments, they only manage to reach a few cents only because of their supplies which are infinite.

So generally, even if the project is good and has a good team and serves some purpose, it will have more chances of getting success and gaining a significant value over time if it has a limited supply just like Bitcoin because supply and demand do play a great role in this.

The capitalization of the coin depends of it supply and price of the coin. The more capitalization has the coin the more stable it is. It is very important to invest in coins with high capitalization because they are more stable.

In first phase, I don't see circulating supply in a new project, i am looking their products how much promising and how effective it has real use cases in the market. Than circulating is important, comparing low circulating coins have good chances to increase high. But it's dose not matter if project is bad.

When there is a big supply but no demand in the coin the price of the coin will not be high. That is why first of all it is necessary to create the demand in the coin and only after that to create the demand of the coin and only after that to create a supply.

The concept of  Circulating supply has a relevant relationship with cryptocurrencies and digital assets. Circulating supply refers to the total number of tokens of a particular cryptocurrency that are actively circulating in the market. Total supply plays an important role in determining the market value and liquidity of cryptocurrencies. A trader attraction to that token increases over the total supply. Aggregate supply that only determines the value of tokens does not act on market demand, utility, etc.

For digital currency, there are various projects to support it, and it can be circulated smoothly, so it will have a high value.  There are too many types of digital currencies. It is not easy to find gold and diamond varieties from all kinds of garbage. Let's discuss, what are the specific conditions for the next cryptocurrency to appreciate?

In tokenomics, it is also important to pay attention to the coin unlocking schedule of major investors and project founders. Also pay attention to the distribution of supply between community, early investors and founders. If the funders have a large percentage of the coin supply and it will be unlocked within 6 months after listing, then such a project may be subject to rug pull risk, where the project funders will quickly sell their tokens to the community and then stop supporting their project.

Yes right circulating does matter to me because if i bought a token price 1$ from ico, ieo, ido with billion supply then this type token price never rising 1$. I was buying some token before but i was taken loss because there supply high and price death after listing exchange. Even some of project has success but if they have larger investors community.

Depend on the niche the token or coin will be used. If the niche is potentialy will be used for many people or have very big potential to be mass adopted i prefer coin with big circullation between 1 billion to 100 billion coin in circullation

it matters so much to the point that I think when I found one coin that have such massive supply yet weak use case i'd instantly consider such coin to be just outright shit coin with no excuse whatsoever.
it just doesn't matter how many effort they spent developing their coin if these two thing which is supply and use case doesn't go really well together i'd just instantly refrain from investing.

its almost like these total supply or even circulating supply are the only thing that holding some coins from growing further.
the massive supply just making people reluctant to invest, but even then there are many coin with massive total supply that become successful one of them are ethereum and matic.
so total supply doesn't necessarily means hard to grow for a coin but instead it might be just to keep value from being too high, its different if its meme coin though since usually they have trillions of supply it doesn't make sense sometimes. but then again those coins being labeled a meme coin for reason.

I think it really affects. coins with less circulation have a pretty good development. especially if the project is needed, while the circulation is not that big. doing so will drive the quality and price of the coin. Meanwhile, coins with very large circulation sometimes tend not to be so good. this will make the coin have a lower price because the coin is easy to get. besides that, we've seen Terra fall due to having too many circulating supplies.

Not sure. But I can tell you that any circulating supply above the "millions" is totally not worth it. That's if you're looking into coins that're ideal as a store of value. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Dash all have an extremely-limited circulating supply. The max supply is also lower compared to other coins being traded on the market today. You can invest into them now, and obtain huge returns in the future (especially Bitcoin). I cannot say the same about Ethereum, Cardano, BNB, and the likes. These have large circulating supplies, making them useful only as digital cash.

Depending on your needs, will be the type of coin to choose. Be advised that just because a coin has a large circulating supply, doesn't mean it's destined to failure. It's all about how active the coin is in terms of development and innovation, and what use cases it provides to the world. As long as you play your cards right, you'll be able to avoid losing it all further down the road. Who knows which altcoins will be able to stand the test of time? Just my thoughts ;D

A project that has a low circulating supply may not necessarily be a bad investment, but it may pose some risks, such as high volatility, low liquidity, and potential manipulation by whales or insiders. On the other hand, a project that has a high circulating supply may not necessarily be a good investment, but it may offer some benefits, such as stability, accessibility, and scalability.

It doesn’t matter if a project have good response for investors. If they have strong community support with promising development and partnership many old project then we can trust him. There are many old project who have there larger investors community so you can also check there supply lot of.

Circulating supply always matter because price reflects based on the number of tokens dilluted on the current supply. Circulating will not matter if all the total supply is already circulating in the market. The majority of crypto projects usually unlock tokens in tranches which makes them automatically dump their token once it unlock since that’s the take profit time.

In some cases, Circulating supply won’t matter since the token has a buy back or token burn project which balance the release of new tokens mint. But most cases, Circulating supply always reflect the price of the token.

The circulating supply of a cryptocurrency is just one factor to consider when evaluating a project. While a low circulating supply may create scarcity and potentially impact the price dynamics, it should not be the sole determining factor in your investment decision.

I can't fully agree with you on this point that circulating supply  should not be the sole of determining factor for investment decision. Becuase circulating supply is always a big factor to flow of price.
I if you want a example for that then saw the incident of Luna. Here it is easy to understand that if the investors of that coin are less i.e. the demand is less and the circulating supply increases continuously through mining then the value of that coin decreases day by day. And that is why project are make this burning option.

Low circulating supply and maybe low marketcap Is actually good for investing but also take note of the total supply of the coin The higher the number the more risk Project dumps on you when they unlock and runs away I think unlock schedule and tokenomics are important to a project

This is not a thing. Those issues you are talking about aren't correlating with low supply, no matter how many decimals the supply has. Neither high supply of "full coins" has anything to do with scalability or accessibility. I have no idea where people get these ideas. Should i be worried and should people be educated more on these issues. Because this is just strange way to think that i can't grasp and it's quite common but i have no idea who spreads these lies.

Less "supply-ism" please! But you are not entirely wrong. Because of their scarcity, digital currencies like Bitcoin and Litecoin can appear to be shining treasure chests. However, we shouldnt throw Ethereum and the others away just yet. Some of those infants are rather crafty!

Although they lack the allure of scarcity, they are developing innovations that have the blockchain community swooning. Electronic contracts? DApps? These are currently selling like hotcakes. They are more like digital genies, granting wishes left and right, than digital cash.

Oh, and lets not get too excited about Bitcoin just yet. Although it is a fan favorite, it is not the only game in town. You should monitor alternative cryptocurrencies. Perhaps one of them will shock us someday. Moreover, you know what? Bring on the crazy-sounding coin names. This helps to maintain the excitement!

Supply is always matters most, i have a lot of experience buying coin that has a big supply and it really turn to losses it is because the market always depend on the law of supply and demand even if the project has a good use case but it also has a big circulating supply then we cannot expect a big profit on it because the supply is big and it is normal that the price rises only few percent.

It makes sense, if the supply is low but if the demand is high, the price will automatically increase, especially since the coin has superior features that will be used by various products later as an alternative payment other than dollars/fiat. usually there is also a burning moment to reduce the amount of supply if I'm not mistaken for coins/tokens that have long term prospects and concepts.

Of course, any project with unclear tokenmics should be avoided, I have also experienced many investments with low quality projects with easily generated and exaggerated contracts on channels. through and then the dump from dev. I had a lot of technical problems when I started, so the element of observing and evaluating the quality of the project from the beginning to avoid encountering useless things, in the past I also witnessed a lot of projects with The team is quite good, but the token sale and deployment process causes the project to die down over time. Nowadays there are many issues as well as factors to evaluate a project and the circulation factor of a crypto project, usually I quite like projects that have a large amount of tokens for the early community, but also increased to less than 20% of total supply.

Those projects which have the most circulating supply can give a positive outcomes as compared to those projects who didn't have that much of the circulating supply and second thing, the project all criteria depending upon their work to the internet society. If they are giving any beneficial aspects to the users surely that will be joined.

Yes! I would prefer to avoid projects that have a low supply circulation and a high supply maximum. If a crypto project still has a small circulating supply and has a large supply max, there is a possibility that the project will become a scam or the price will stagnate.

You will find that coins with a lower circulating supply tend to do quite well. Obviously a coin needs to have top devs & a good level of trust all around it.

I definitely prefer to buy low supply coins over seemingly infinite supply coins.

Something that is more scarce usually does better than something with a large supply although there are exceptions.

That's not necessarily true because creating a coin with a finite supply is not so difficult. The price of a coin depends on many factors, and in which demand is the main factor, if the coin supply is limited, but the demand is not high, its value will never increase. Conversely, even if a coin has an infinite supply but a very high demand for it, its value will still increase over time. The best example is ETH, ETH has an infinite supply, and its value is increasing daily. In short, supply is not what determines the value of a coin.

There are many factors, right and one factor that affects the price is also the potentiality of the project. Well, we can say that supply matters also because as we can see, many projects that have a huge circulating supply never grow fast. ETH is different from other projects which is why I can't compare this to others as it was special and considered the king of altcoins. But if we are talking about the others that have an infinite supply, I wasn't seeing them grow, they only just pump during the bull season.

Of course supply circulation is very important for analyzing an altcoin,
because from supply circulation we can know what the appropriate price is for the coin,
it takes a lot of learning to understand it, but if you manage to learn about supply circulation,
technical analysis and fundamental analysis then you will succeed to reach a good level.

Exactly. I've seen coins with an extremely-limited supply becoming a failure due to low interest/demand from investors. They're virtually out of the radar, due to poor marketing/promotion efforts from the developer team. A good example of this is 42 Coin (42). Garlicoin is in the same path as the aforementioned cryptocurrency. A pity because these coins would've been a great alternative to Bitcoin and Litecoin. At least, in terms of using it as a store of value.

Remember, "not all that glitters is Gold". You'd need to do your own research to help determine which coins are worth it and which ones are not. As long as you don't go crazy putting all of your life savings into crypto, nothing should stop you from becoming financially-independent in the future. Act responsibly and avoid the hype just to be safe. Just my two sats ;D

Circulating supply is an important issue in the cryptocurrency world. A project circulating supply represents the total number of coins or tokens available on the market and actively circulated among investors. This directly affects the value and market capitalization of cryptocurrencies. We know that low supply creates scarcity in the market which causes the price to rise and more supply can lower the value of the token meaning demand decreases. Investors often consider supply trends when evaluating a cryptocurrency growth potential and determining its attractiveness as an investment. However, other factors such as the project underlying technology, use cases and overall market conditions should be analyzed and then invested in instead of relying solely on the advertised supply.

Not all projects will give you positive feedback if their supply is high. Suppose the supply of a token is billion then they must have the amount lot of investors, if not more, who will buy so many tokens. If their investor family is small then the price of that token can continue to fall. You may find that the price of doge coin price constantly rising of power elon musk.

I'm not saying supply isn't important, but it's not the only factor that determines a project's potential. Why do you say ETH is different when it has an unlimited supply? Because it was successful? It is also an altcoin, and in the past many bitcoin investors despised it, but now they cannot deny its success. I guess you are one of them, you only accept ETH when it succeeds, and you missed your chance with it.

As for alternative investing, it's more of a speculative market than an investment. So I wouldn't care too much about the supply or the use case... as long as it can make a profit, I will never ignore it.

Not only one supply is important it is very important to evaluate the demand in the coin. Also is important to know is supply is limited or not. For example. the supply of bitcoin is limited by 21 mln BTC and the demand in bitcoin increase. Only the uniting of this 2 things is important.

When the supply is huge, coins often turn into a scam or become worthless in the long run. Most people don't understand the importance of a coin's circulating supply, as they invest blindly with the hopes of turning a profit in the least time possible. Based on what I've seen, the vast majority of altcoins have a large circulating supply. Only a small few are finite by design. Yet, most altcoins are rising in price like there's no tomorrow. Even ETH is near the $2k range. I guess cryptonomics works in a different way.

What really matters is what real use cases a cryptocurrency provides. Not the price. As long as it's being constantly developed and maintained by the community, there should be nothing to worry about. Who knows which will be the next coins to gather the attention of mainstream investors and traders alike? Just my opinion :)

Indeed, take for an example a certain p2e game last 2021 they did not manage the circulating supply of their nft coins and their token they are in the peak of their career after 3 year but then they did not expect that this 2021 they will be on the mainstream media and that incident made the project fall but it is still alive but the players decrease so bad and still they have a lot of supply.

You are right the most important is to create demand in the tokens. And sometimes it is very difficult to do this. It is simple it issue a lot of tokens but how to create demand in them. To do this it is necessary to create something useful for people that people will be glad to buy tokens and use them.

the thing with these P2E games in general is the fact that their economic aren't sustaining, the token generated steadily increase as the time goes, you could see that there are so many that farming accounts in getting more and more tokens, the developers themselves doesn't really enforce limitation thus the heavily inflated token supply to the market.
definitely it eventually gonna overwhelm the demand itself, making the token more and more valueless.
thats just how those games fail, meanwhile with total supply and circulating supply, so long it mantains good equilibrium with the demand its gonna be fine. not too much not too low.

True it is important to create demand for the token but if the token supply is gazillions then the effort will be wasted due to over saturated market.  It is important to think and study thoroughly the maximum supply of the token and not just blindly allocate it.  Investors will grow tired if the price of the token is tanking, and every time there is an attempt to push adoption to uptrend the price, the massive number of token in circulation will often hinder this growth.

well it's tricky to answer, because some might have huge number of tokens minted, so even if they release 5 percent as the circulating supply, it could be a very huge amount of token, so first, i look at the total supply before circulating

The matter is team of the project can issue more and more tokens. Its is simple to issue tokens but it is very difficult to create demand in such tokens.

Above millions is still within a million e.g 999.999 million and I think it was still better compared to a billion or more supply. BTC and many other good cryptos has a million supply though. Many coins nowadays are only just a junk, that is why they have boat loads of supply. If there is a coin that can be called as a digital cash, it was still Bitcoin. This is its main concept. It's fast, fees aren't that high, and popularly accepted almost anywhere.

Other coins that you named are good for an asset use because of their huge supply and we can see that their growth rates are very slow. If there is an altcoin that can last long like BTC, that would definitely be ETH.

There is a difference, in theory it is unlimited, but there is burning as well, which means that the amount of ETH could drop as well as go up, which means that it is not forever going up, it depends on the market. This is why we believe it's different.

Plus, it is definitely not the same thing as being second highest ranked coin and some other coin, of course being unlimited matters between them, when you are second ranked coin, that doesn't mean that you are going to end up with some devastating bad result suddenly, but when you are something lower, some other coin, then it could drop to very new lows and could result with something much worse. I believe that we can't really change that, it's going to just have to be the way it is.

In my opinion a small circulating supply increases the value of tokens and especially if they have a large community of investors. Moreover, the demand for a token is high only when they do development activities aiming at the quality of the project.
Moreover, many projects occupy a large market with more supply. Because they value investors more and looking at profit they supply different products.

Small circulating supply profits a project that's why Bitcoin has only 21 million supply and the price is around $30k because of the low supply and we have other projects benefiting from the low supply and we can see their price high which is why other projects with high supply like BNB is burning their supply so they can reduced their circulating supply to attract more investors.
If a coin like Dogecoin had a small circulating supply it would had been worth more than $100 because of the hype the project has but because it doesn't have a maximum supply, it'll be very difficult for the coin to pass $1. Other project like Shiba Inu will take forever because of the trillions of supply the coin has. Large communication also is important for a project success.
We have many things that contribute to the success of a project and having limited supply is one of them then we have the community support and the marketing of the project. Many projects aren't worth what they're valued but because of their marketing they're among the top projects. So a token having just small circulating supply doesn't mean it's a good project to invest into.

 small circulating supply means in long run project can be gain more profits. So yes Circulating supply matters to me.  ::)

Circulating supply is one of the many things we need to consider when investing in a cryptocurrency. Just because the supply is low, doesn't mean the coin will be a huge success. Like I've said before, you need to consider how active a coin is in terms of development and innovation. As long as it's driven by utility (not speculation), you can be sure it will last for a very long time. Probably forever. Such is the case with Bitcoin and Litecoin (although LTC is not that actively developed as BTC is).

I'd advise you play your cards right by investing in these two coins alone. ETH is another option, even though its supply is finite. Who knows how far these coins will go in the next bull market? Just my opinion :)

cus is gonna infinite dumping like icp and many others. low cap on launch they called fair launch lol, this only good on mining cases not some unminable coin
lbry dead because of this, and people who get early stage will burned with this typical scam show

the total supply is not very important for me, because for me the total supply is just an additional point for my research, so the most important thing is the team of the project, the product of the project, the partners of the project and the progress of the project, so the total supply is not too important for me and the important thing is that the product of the project is useful and the allocation of the total supply is clear.

Total supply finite or infinite do make a difference. Bitcoin for example has a finite deflationary supply and that augments it's price in the long run. We have coins with infinite supply too and they often perform poorly as compared to those with limited supply. Of course the team and their project's development makes a difference too and these are equally important points to consider when making a complete decision of investing or not.

Overall supply and inflation are important factors to count in the decision making process of investment.

There isn't a one-size-fits-all answer, as different industries, technologies, and market conditions can all play a role in determining what might be considered a reasonable circulating supply for investment purposes.
Some factors to consider when evaluating the circulating supply of a project,the first is Tokenomics, Evaluate the project's tokenomics, including the total max supply, the rate of token issuance if applicable, and how tokens are distributed e.g pre-sale, public sale, team allocation, ecosystem fund, etc.

There's small inflation, and then, there's too much inflation. I'd choose my coins wisely, as "not all that glitters is gold". There are so many coins with a huge supply that could end up being worthless in the long run. But that's not always the case, especially if the coin has active development and innovation. Real use cases is what matters above all else.

Consider how Dogecoin is still worth something even though there are lots of coins in circulation. New units will be created every year, leaving us with an endless supply of DOGE. Coins with a limited supply are more likely to rise in price within a short amount of time. I'm talking about coins like Bitcoin, Litecoin, Diamond (DMD), and Dash. Especially Bitcoin which is the most popular cryptocurrency in the world. Who knows how the market will change in the long run as new players join the scene? Just my thoughts ;D

I like your optimism about the altcoins.

However from my experience the altcoins are mainly capitalised during the cycles when the hype is good and it drives an inorganic demand. On the other hand bitcoin has its own organic demand over time. Hence I prefer the second always. But hopeful people are free to invest in the former. The only problem is that they need to be monitored and the social media kept track of, who knows which celeb is going to talk shit or gold about a certain coin.

Their circulating supply is often raises eyebrows because of a lot of reasons, lack of trust in the developer, premine and so on.

I will take a few examples of projects to discuss.

Eg :

1. Aptos: They are given 130M(Initial circulation supply) at the TGE(13%) 
2. Sei: They are given 1800M(Initial circulation supply) at the TGE (18%)

When you compare the above 02 projects, Aptos has the full potential to grow. Because Aptos is given a lower percentage for the circulation supply. Sei's circulation supply is higher than the aptos. But when you compare with the use cases of the 02 projects, Sei is faster than aptos. Sei is the fastest layer 1 project.  But if you compare sei and Aptos prices, Aptos price is higher than the sei.
