https://twitter.com/bitcoinpotato "Soundwallet" has asked what about a site like
http://coingecko.com so lets explore the differences and see if i can explain why this is completely different to what I'm proposing.
Explaining the difference between Math algorithms and human Advice - :coinGecko could be counted as a site that gives advice,
there is nothing wrong with that, you can take it as face value if you like for example I have my own investment Journal, and I give advice my opinion is as good as theirs and theirs in theory is as good as mine, if Coingecko.com advice is good then people will follow it and gain investment wealth as they will have followed the implication that thier top list are the "best investments " (i assume)
That's not what i'm proposing here - lets explain simply what this Market cap is asking:There only needs to be Two (2) point that are met to get into this Market Cap:
Question One (1) is there a PoW distribution =
Yes(1 point) or
No ( 0 points) Question Two (2) does the PoW distribution continue or is it hard capped =
Continues ( 1 point) or
Hard capped ( 0 points) So for example Bitcoin is hard capped with SHA256 PoW
so lets run it though...
Bitcoin
PoW = Yes =
1 Point PoW continues = no =
0 PointsBitcoin total = 1 point and does not get included.
The difference here is we are not giving investment advice, it's just a simple 2 points requirement, this is to try to help education and for the future.
hope that helps?

https://twitter.com/bitcoinpotato "Soundwallet" contests that i'm against hard cap, its not the case , a hard cap can be very useful, but just not as "money"
for example Overstock is planning a "Crypto Stock market" the defining point is, this will be used with a Protocol chain "on top of the Bitcoin PoW" so you see the
PoW has to be there.basically i'm Saying that Patrick should have seeked some advice from a decentralized economists. (like myself)
now think about this, if that PoW is hard capped, and this causes a confidence loss, what happens to the "Crypto Stock market" ??
you see you can't fake PoW - (this is getting complex isn't it? )
so you see it's not just myself that should be thinking about this, good advice can save millions? of paper dollars.
