Which one do you think is more reliable, CMC or ForbesCrypto?
I would say CMC

I only use cmc at the moment to check prices and movements and volume etc but i will also have a look at forbescrypto as you mentioned. Cmc has been ok for me but i think they should also add new coins fast and also delete dead or fake coins regularly.

I know not of Forbescrypto.. but I don't trust the volumes given out by coinmarketcap... sometimes their data on the crypto market is wrong.. it might be slight bug

Why is your choice limited to these two websites? For me, more convenient to use is coingecko.

I prefer to use CMC for now. Not that I don't check out other sites too but CMC is much convenient for me and owing to the fact it's widely used. I will have to check out Forbescrypto and do a critical comparison.

I have never used ForbesCrypto because it looks damn ugly and out of date. Plus it's very difficult to perceive information there. CMC is much-much better so that's why it's much more useable. CMC has 78M of visits in December 2018 aginst 170K at forbescrypto according similarweb service.

I never heard about forbescrypto and I did not check now also. I think coinmarketcap is the best one because I find it easy interface. Also, as an alternative, I use coingecko which also helpful to track the market.

I currently don't know much about ForbesCrypto and as such I will still tip cmc to be the best platform for cryptocurrency ratings and price listing.

CMC is widely known and used by so many people and then that makes sense to pick CMC rather than forbes crypto. If you can create a polling which will you pick up as your choice between forbes and coingecko and coingecko will be picked up by a lot of people rather than forbes.

I still prefer coinmarketcap, I only have two sites open when I sit on the computer in the first five minutes, coinmarketcap and Bitcointalk, this ForbesCrypto is new and there are other sites like coinmarketcap, but I'm more comfortable using coinmarketcap than any other sites.

if I have to choose, I prefer CMC, because I think CMC is a complete and easy-to-see site, besides that I also don't know the website that you provide, I don't say relying on CMC but CMC is popular and many use it to view data coins or altcoins in the market.

I've always used cmc, I didn't even know the existence of the other site. Now I will take a look to get an idea and I'll let you know.

There's also Coingecko https://www.coingecko.com/en and Chainsage https://chainsage.com/

I can not say that it is better. I know one thing is corrupt. If you offer big money for advertising news about your project will be easy to publish. Do not believe one source.

I don't use ForbesCrypto, but sometimes it's useful enough to use coingecko.com to find some particular/new/small cap coins. For example there is a lot of hyip around grin project and it's still absent at CMC in contrast with coingecko.

I think CMC is the best at the moment. No other website can compete with it.
Just leave forbes for someone else lol.

Yea, I mentioned it exactly for that reason.

It has more small cap coins avaliable, but i prefer the CMC design

Never heard of Forbes crypto so I always use CMC and coingecko depending on which timeframe I would like to see. CMC is still the market leader though

Well I do use both. But Forbes crypto can never be compared to CMC. CMC is still the best in terms of features, updates etc. CMC even has Telegram bots that gives me day to day activities such as market updates, analysis,news and also teaches things to know about crypto such as crypto terms, how to protect ur crypto etc.

So they can never be compared in any way. Thanks

Cmc was indeed reliable than Forbes but I don't think we ought to compare the two company because they both different point of view and different perspectives. However, I believed Forbes crypto was created by crypto enthusiasts while CMC serves as the yellow page and capital place to spot genuine crypto currency.

In my opinion CMC is practically good to see, most people also check other coins at CMC, for me, because I even want to open the site in my opinion it's not good to see, but everyone's opinion is different. it's just rights in we can see CMC or forbescrytpo

CMC is like a gold standard and they are exploiting it lately in a bad manner with multiple ads per page, paid API, etc.

I suggest you to try: https://chainsage.com or https://nomics.com

I have always used Coinmarketcap and I would prefer to stay with them. Despite some bugs, this website is great for tracking all the stats that you can require. It is also very user friendly and comfortable for daily usage.

I think I still prefer the coinmarketcap to any other platform for cryptocurrencies. They are more realistic.

CMC is more reliable when compare to Forbes Cryptos hat the reason may people using CMC when they want to check the prices of crypto currencies.But also they need to check the prices at respectice exchanges before trading because the prices varies many times.

Some of the best alternatives to CMC are here :

• https://www.coingecko.com/
• http://coincap.io/
• https://messari.io/onchainfx/

I check both for comparison purposes. In terms or reliability I still choose coinmarketcap because that's what most people use when it comes to updates with price, volume and rank of cryptos. Although there are instances where is does not show real time update but I still rely on it so much.

I never used ForbesCrypto before I don't even know that it exists. I always use CMC and then CoinGecko lately, CMC has some problems with some of the coins provided supply and circulation so I wouldn't rely on it 100% especially when it comes to small coins, I saw a lot of people recommended CoinGecko lately and that is why I started using it and it looks really good. I will give ForbesCrypto too a try since it is mentioned in this thread.

I found out now about forbescrypto, anyway, coinmarketcap was already more reliable and honest with the community! From the moment their focus is to show $50k volume each deal and discard large coins and projects for idleness, it means they are sold and do not want people to get in the train wagons in the beginning!

This is my first time learning about Forbescrypto so I will have to try it first before giving an answer. I hope it is faster in updating coin or token circulating supply than CMC.

I am familiar with the user interface and information presented by CMC but ForbesCrypto is a good alternative after CMC.
Sometimes I see both as a comparison.

I used to participate in the CMC project and fortunately it was not a fraud and quite a lot of the profit I got after selling tokens on the market. To be honest I have never joined ForbersCrypto so I don't know the potential it has. in my opinion the CMC project is good.

I think that mostly all cryptoenthusiasts are using coinmarketcap. This website is one of the first huge platforms about capitalization of crypto. It's services are quit good and I'll continue using them.

It should be recognized that SMS is more practical and reliable, but tastes are different. Well, when there is plenty to choose from. For the same reason, many experienced participants prefer Coinmarketcap

I choose CMC, ForbesCrypto is a rather poorly made and low-functional tool, it is suitable for those who do not need to study the market in detail.

I think both are very good
But coinmarketcap is more senior and reliable with up to date and time facts and records

I have started with CMC several years ago and I will stay with CMC. I hope they will improve the website and have less bugs, but it is definitely the best website for checking the crypto prices and to track the market movements.

When you have a forest with lots of small trees its value is not calculated when all trees have matured in 100 years time.
The value of the parcel of land is of the number of usable trees now. CMC is shit, but still a thousand times better.

Edit; some good alternatives
athcoinindex (https://athcoinindex.com/)

Onchainfx (https://onchainfx.com/)

Cryptocompare (https://www.cryptocompare.com/)

Coincheckup (https://coincheckup.com/)

Coincodex (https://coincodex.com/)

Coingecko (https://www.coingecko.com/en)

Coincap (https://coincap.io/)

Coinlib (https://coinlib.io/)

Bitinfocharts (https://bitinfocharts.com/)

It does not matter as long as you get the data you need i do check from couple of such website but frankly when im trading i tend to check tradingview charts because they are very vivid and i have downloaded their app for this purpose.

CMC is my first priority. Because in CMC, it is easy to check coins and Exchange's movement charts and you can research very well through Coinmarketcap! In CMC, you can check previous years data very transparently, and this is a very good tool for every trader.
After CMC Coingecko would be my first choice and then coincodex. Sorry, I never heard before about Forexcrypto!

If I should judge between CoinMarketCap and ForbesCrypto. I will go for CoinMarketCap because that's where people basically go and check on the price of cryptocurrencies, and definitely it will make the best for any cryptocurrency project, Forbes readers mainly are not cryptocurrency lover.

None of them have a reason to lie to you (unless you take the ads on the side at face value), CMC is more shitcoin-friendly. I personally use coincap.io though, I think it's owned by the Shapeshift guys and it's really smooth and fluid.

I think that if you are faced with a comprehensive task and you need very deeply evaluate a project or a coin, then you will use all possible means in order to maximize the possibility of obtaining information. Therefore, along with CMC, you will also use other information sites.

First time i heard about https://forbescrypto.com/crypto but this is so amazing looking specially thumbnail and it’s more flexible to using and everything specified in different categories like in home page daily hot news update,marketcap,top exchange list and showing international market update. But a lot of different with coinmarketcap.  

I choose Coinmarketcap. I'm already used to this site and I like its design more than the design of the site ForbesCrypto.

I relied on the CMC in reviewing prices and volumes
I can not find a reason to replace it now because it meets my requests well
In the future I may try to ues forbescrypto or other similar sites.

I think coinmarketcap is more reliable and up to date I check both sites and on coinmarketcap eth is still in the second spot while Ripple is in one in the second spot in ForbesCrypto and coinmarketcap is the first one I use ever since I start so I trust this site more than Forbescrypto

It's CoinMarketCap (https://www.coinmarketcap.com) for me. It's my one #1 Spot for getting Crypto updates. As a trader, I'm more concerned about the price index across a host of exchanges for various altcoins and Coinmarketcap does just that and even more. I'm not in any way saying ForbesCrypto isn't good. It's just that, I'm not really a huge fan. ~ "I just like skipping to the best parts" ;)

CMC is more familiar and most of people don't know what forbes crypto is. Rather than it and i guess coingecko was more familiar in our community. People mostly used CMC as the main site to get the latest price and chart of crypto.

I still have not visited forbescrypto, but I would stick in CMC. Because CMC has given me accurate information already on the prices of the coins. And it makes my day complete.

I don't even know about ForbesCrypto, so obviously my answer is CoinMarketCap. Sometimes I use some other trackers like coingecko, because there are many small cap coins which aren't listed at CMC.

I never visited forbescrypto. Let's admit the fact that everyone relies on coinmarketcap if its about the data on the whole crypto market. Though it doesn't really cover ALL of the coins but they have majority of it. They have the most traffic that caters so people are visiting them and depending on their prices but there's a time that they have been glitched and that affected the market. Just think of that, with just a very simple glitch it affects the all market.

I do not totally trust marketcap sites. They might be very useful in some areas, but when it comes to the price of coins itself, I usually prefer to go directly to the exchange, because that is where the real trade is and that is where to get adequate information on the buy and sell order or market place.
I use CMC more and I am not that aware of ForbesCrypto.i

CMC, there are too many ads on ForbesCrypto.. need to decentralize

I think there would not be comparison with between the coinmarketcap and the ForbesCrypto, it is impossible. I believe that not too many people now about the ForbesCrypto. If you want to test the website usage, you should go to Alexa and find website traffic statistics. If you check the ForbesCrypto's global rank is "580,498" and the coinmarketcap's rank is "446". So there is a big cliff between this two websites..

Not familiar with Forbescrypto here also. I have been checking CMC everyday for quite sometime already. Though there are info missing in CMC, I think they are basing with some figures from the data submitted by the team. But in general, it helps a lot in checking the overview of the coin.

CMC is the site everyone knows and is the first one to go to. coingecko.com is another good one and has similar information to CMC. Last but not least, coincompare.com is very good site for coin price quotes and lot more features.

should they be compared from each other? i think, cmc is the popular one among crypto users. it is like one of the first sites that they will visit when checking for the performance or info of a coin. so for me, definitely CMC!

i think too, cmc is the most reliable of both sides. i have been using cmc ever since i have been working on crypto and have always been very satisfied with the page. that is why i do not need forbes crypto page.

I have been using CMC since 2017 and so far they are very reliable. I have not heard of ForbesCrypto though. I might try them and compare since you are comparing the two so it made me curious. I will rate them in terms of the tokens and coins listed and how fast they update their prices.

I use CMC every day to monitor coins. And CMC I think has provided a lot of information about coins. And CMC has a good appearance and seems to make it easier for users to monitor the price of coins.

It's better to use forbescrypto because it has a lot of more option and always updated news on cryptocurrency. CMC is nowadays biased. They don't provide  information correctly.

I would go with neither. Never checked forbescrypto, just that name makes me not to go further and cmc has wrong info for several coins.

I still believe CMC than the forbescrypto because when I visited on the website, I found that they make news and I don't know that the news is from their analysis or the other websites. I don't want to become a panic person when reading some news on the site because I already have a bad experience by reading the wrong news. CMC more than enough for me to get the data of every coin in the market.

Both sites should be fairly reliable but occasionally they can have technical issues so if the value or volume of a particular market appears to be incorrect, you can always double check it using other indexes such as Blockfolio or Coingecko

This is the first time I heard about Forbes Crypto even though there are many sites like Coinmarket but I'm not sure about its reliability . Currently I'm just using Coinmarket to check volumes, ... and I think it's stable and good for me. 

Many people accuse the inaccuracy in the information provided by the Coinmarketcap, but with such a large amount of information processed it is difficult to avoid small errors or inaccuracies. However, Coinmarketcap is the longest existing service of this type, so I am sure that it will remain a leader for a very long time.

I will not depend entirely on CMC, I mean CMC in my opinion is quite good because we know that CMC is a global site where coins and price charts are clear, I only use it as needed, if there is something I need, maybe next I will try fobrescrypto .

Same here, coinmarketcap is THE site to look at for now. They've been doing it for years already. Exchanges rely on them as well to see if a coin has volume or not on other exchanges. They're APIs are being used by lots of crypto sites whether it is for the price or exchange rate. But one can always think of a site which can be better than CMC either better graphics, more info etc but CMC is the most well-known in the field. Just like BTC with ETH, BTC is still the king even if ETH has more things to offer due to more options but BTC is the oldest and the most well-known in the crypto world. So CMC it is for me at least for the time being.

forbes crypto I just heard it so if you tell me to choose between it I will choose cmc, but besides cmc I sometimes use coingecko because some tokens that have not entered cmc are registered there first

Yeah., CMC is still by far the best. The best feature is the updates it gives me as well. Its my first time hearing Forbescrypto but for security, I still think CMC is better.

Of course coinmarket will be better. I always use coinmarket to observe the market since I joined this market and it is very good. Meeting all my needs when using it, to be honest, I have never used ForbesCrypto

I guess that forbescrypto is kinda new to the market therefore people rarely consider to try that website while there is already a reliable and stable website called coinmarketcap.
However if we can get more benefits of informaiton provided by forbescrypto why not.

I always use a Coinmarketcap as a source of information about capitalization, exchanges, liquidity and other info about crypto.

I have been using CMC for years and I am happy with CMC. So far, CMC has been providing accurate data and serve my needs. Atm, I don’t see myself using Forbescrypto but I don’t mind trying in the near furture.

Why does this matter? Market cap means really nothing. BTCs supply has many coins that are lost but it’s really uncertain whether they will be recovered or maybe the owners just haven’t done anything with them yet. Ripple’s xrp is in Escrow and released periodically and is certain. These xrp don’t affect the price since they aren’t affecting supply and demand. Ideally circulating supply for btc would only count non lost mined coins and xrp’s CS would be all xrp not in escrow by Ripple. They are two different types of cryptos. Mined and pre-mined. With BTC, immediately when mined they have the ability to sell. A pre-mined coin can sell one of its pre-mined coins and market cap would be greatly over valued based off one sale. There is no way to evenly evaluate a market cap for cryptos at this time. Thus, it’s on the users to understand how many coins there are, where they’re being held, the probability they will be used, and when they be used. So just like everything in this space, DYOR and understand it instead of complaining that other people/companies aren’t doing what you want them to do.

I think if you follow the cryptocurrency, then you should look at the entire market. Because sometimes the news may be different or go faster. So I use all possible tools for work.

After the expose that coinmarketcap is showing fake volumes I have to get another option and coingecko is one of this but there's no difference in their volume and that made think that both exchanges could be manipulating it, Coinmarketcap announced that there will be changes in their metric, hopefully, what we are seeing now is the right one.

for the past, I always use CMC.
for ForbesCrypto not yet.
I might use it in the future, depending on the situation.
because using CMC for a long time  ;D

i always use CMC that's web is trusted. and update for future potential coin

I also think that I would choose CMC, but there are a lot of useful and useful information on ForbesCrypto, which greatly helps to analyze information on the market. Therefore, everything is fine

I don't know about ForbesCrypto because this is my first time to hear. So far, I use CMC only, and I don't too often to use or find some info on that site. But still, CMC working fine for me and I didn't have a problem when I used.

When I try to visit FC, I have a bit confuse to find the list of cryptocurrency, and I need to click one by one the links. But in CMC, when I visit on the homepage, I am easy to get the cryptocurrency list because it shows on the main page.

today, many governments try to compare cryptocurrency not with foreign currency assets, but with numbers of securities. In any case, this provides a real opportunity for the development of a cryptocurrency market. But what can Forest give for cryptocurrency? Given the certain knowledge about the manipulation among the traders of this resource, I worry that they can cause harm to the cryptocurrency market if certain actions are taken. Maybe I'm wrong.

as long as I am in cryptocurrency I always hold CMC as a guideline, because for me CMC gives us pretty good features and coin, altcoin and token information there is very accurate.

I prefer Coinmarketcap because it has everything I need and working well. I have been using it since years back and I am pleased with the information. So, I don’t think I will switch to ForbesCrypto for the time being.

I am always using coinmarketcap, because it is one of the most user friendly websites, where you can always track what is going on in the crypto world. However, such a huge website has a big influence on the whole industry. I can remember they had a bag that made every crypto to raise for 1000 percent for several minutes and this caused a small pump.

CMC is so simple and that's why a lot of people are interesting in using it. Forbescrypto is a new marketcap site but there are some improvements on it. But remember we have a lot of marketcap sites like coingecko and any other site but they are offering the same thing.

Yes buddy! Because of having simple and easy to use coinmarketcap are being use by a lot of people in cryptoworld, I'm also prefered to use this platform to check myfavorite altcoin and what happen tothe whole market, you can also check the biggest profit/lose altcoin.
