Total crypto market is now worth HALF A TRILLION dollars

[cryptodontus]

Because that is huge, no one can mention it.

Just tell me, how many times has Dash doubled it's price since it got released? More than 100

And litecoin? More than 50 too.

Not to mention major altcoins like Ethereum, Monero, Dash, Ripple etc have also grown at their own exponential rates in the year giving a big pump to the overall cryptocurrency market cap.

Bitcoin is probably the only one who increased less times, only that yes, it has an incredible value and probably this is what makes the whole difference with the other altcoins.

But 500 B is a lot of money, i can not wait anymore until it reaches 1 trillion, 

Bitcoin was the only coin to start with $0.00000000 value. It has doubled infinity times.

BTC to break $300B cap. This just took the cryptocurrency market to an astonishing $500B!

Yay, 500 billion dollars are a lot of money, i just saw a lot of people on the TV talking bullshit about bitcoin, that it was a ponzi, and bla bla bla.

It is always the same, but no one is looking at all the money that is being invested on bitcoin, and i think that this is the most important thing about cryptos.

Without trust, there is nothing left in here, it just works like a relationship, without trust, we can not go anywhere.

Really a lot of money. I really do not care what people say this days as they just end up showing their own level of ignorance to the whole world that way. The trust is what will keep the community and the market in general strong and you are right because if that can easily be squashed, then we are just going to be in for a free fall.

Half trillion is astonishing indeed and that is a lot to take in at once. There is so much going for bitcoin right now and I am really hoping all the investors are really not just getting greedy and they understand where they are investing.

I am saying this because, we already have the manipulators in play here and they will want to do anything to have a solid hand in the market which they can only do by trying to manipulate the market. I may be wrong, but it is possible.

It's really quite remarkable but I still this is as being only the beginning, I think in time we will pass 1 trillion and again a little while later we will pass 1 trillion in bitcoin alone. This may take some time and be a bumpy road but I think it will happen.

The amazing thing is we started 2017 off at 17.7 billion. What a great year!

The crypto market is really gaining traction and already it looks like its racing to 600 billion dollars, its high time every one putting a blind eye on cryptocurrencies takes time to read and learn about this technology so that addo[tion happens quickly and we push for a trillion dollar milestone.

does changing wallets really affect this number check coinmarketcap.com for these numbers

[Don Pedro Dinero]

It’s not just market cap, also trading volume and prices. Market cap is just a result of more and more people putting their money into the crypto markets. I think this is just the beginning, next year we are very likely to see a big market growth as well, even though it has gone up quite a lot this year, and similar returns for upcoming years seem unlikely for investors used to stock markets.

[coinplus]

The number is ofcourse great but I've always been sceptical about market cap. Today btc is 16k bot a moment later someone bought one coin for 15.9k and BTC market cap lost thousands of dollars. You should also exclude all scamcoins from the total market cap. The only bitconnect should probably have a pretty big part in this number and there are also a lot of even more scammy coins.

You have a point but considering the amount of currencies in the scam coins, they may not really be something to worry about. One thing is that even with the market cap of these scam coin, this is a market that can be abandoned for any crypto at any time and that way the money is just flowing within the crypto ecosystem anyway.

We cannot say even say where the crypto total cap is going to be headed but we sure know this is getting big already. No one could have imagined the end of this year would be like this and this is like the craziest year we have ever had with the growth of bitcoin.

It is still a little bit scary though which is normal cause that huge growth in a very short while usually does not end well in another short period before the market recovers, but I would not want to be too pessimistic here.

It is only nice data when you look at coinmarketcap,but as we all know total crypto market is actually very misleading because there is so many coins out there,and most of them actually have no purposes-except that the owner make some profit.Even total BTC is 300 $ billion worth in this moment,but so many BTC are lost forever so that these data do not represent value of total available coins.

However, I think that these figures act positively on the overall impression when it comes to cryptocurrency-sounds good when you say "half trillion $".
