Yeah...it's really strange these days how CoinMarketCap always seems to get their numbers wrong.
A more cynical person than me would suspect that some coins deliberately under-represent their true totals at launch, and then later correct that figure once a reasonable market price has been set for the coin. Result: massive jump in apparent market cap, without any of that nasty pumping business. Or delivering anything useful........

The best bit is that the market (yeah, us.) always falls for the trick, at least so far. Maybe PayCoin won't get away with it, but almost no-one looked twice when Ripple and Bitshares did it. (Ripple even did it twice, ffs....

Shit, if the US government decided to make everybody twice as rich, by printing twice as many dollar bills.....what do you think would happen?
