##### <center> https://steemitimages.com/DQmTLCNsEo4kbs4qT1MxQLgThUvuzrU5xEigBHpuvCysbt6/image.png ---- A series to show how large the crypto currency is, compared to other well known things in the world, to help translate and show value and perspective! *It is a TLDR / Short Form Series, covering ONLY that topic* It is *specifically* designed this way to keep it short and simple.  ---- People can then search out extra info if they wish, or share this relevant info / company names with people to help show the growth, reality and legitimacy of $BTC/$XBT and cryptocurrency! ---- I've never seen a regular series or resource running on Steemit to continually address this basic need so I decided to do it. ---- ### Recent Market Facts/Stats: ---- With BTC (Core/Legacy chain only) crossing the $200B market cap just Dec. 5th, 2017 ago for the 1st time (aprx. 1:30 pm UTC time or 8:30 am EST) and with more countries relaxing rules for its use, it is a real thing. This is real money in Crypto. Total Crypto Market Cap Approaching $1 Trillion! 2 weeks later (Dec. 19th, 2017, 2:50 pm EST) --- we literally crossed the $335B mark ... JUST for the one Bitcoin chain -- and we just crossed the total crypto market cap of HALF A TRILLION $$ around the same day. The market contined to moon across all coins until around Dec. 21st when things started to correct. Total Market Cap had crossed the $830B range, it was amazing! After many days of huge corrections market wide, the numbers were UP a few days in a row here but now are sideways/still dipping again the past half-day or so.  ---- Today that Total Crypto Market Cap after another " Correctionings " week.... is UP / sideways (now) to about ~ .46 TRILLION. (2/21/2017) -- meaning ~$460B. -- It is fun to write that out in "Trillion" form, & remind everyone crypto is serious money now. BTC crossed the $300B market cap / 1st time on Dec. 8th, approx. 12:15 am UST/ or ~7:15 pm EST Corrections the next while pulled that total number back below that as we know. CMC.com charts have been down for most of the last month / many days, sorry. They have kinda sucked for awhile now! If they are down I tend to use CoinCap.io or another. ---- 1 Week BTC Chart:  ---- ### BTC began the 2017 year at about $15.5B Market Cap and we have not included the forks of BTC in these numbers either! ### BTC begins the 2018 year at $255B Market Cap. ---- ~1 Year Bitcoin (Core/legacy chain) Chart: (BitcoinWisdom.com/Bitstamp - USD)  ---- -- With the $200 billion mark now long eclipsed, (except for the Correction periods) - it's overtaken giants like Oracle ($201 billion), and major drug maker, Pfizer Inc. ($213 billion). ---- ~1 Month Chart for BTC - Note - many days ago, we DID cross the $300B Market Cap, and note those big corrections (red dips)  ---- ### Bitcoin at $180B Market Cap Today... # Bitcoin is Bigger Than: ---- #### This Week's List! ---- PepsiCo, Inc. / Market Cap of $ 155.17B !  ---- #### Previous Weeks! ---- -- NetFlix, Inc / Market Cap of $ 114.805B! -- Altria Group, Inc / Market Cap of $134.222B! -- NVIDIA Corporation / Market Cap of $143.24B ! -- Merck and Co. - w. Market Cap of $169.052B -- Advanced Micro Devices, Inc -- Market Cap of $11.539B -- Intel Corporation with a $211.817B Market Cap!! -- VISA Inc. with a $258.39 Market Cap! -- Bank of America with a 307.3B Market Cap! (We corrected from $335B so last week this was right LOL) -- General Electric (Market cap: $157 billion) -- Walt Disney (Market cap: $154 billion) -- McDonald's (Market cap: $134 billion) -- IBM (Market cap: $140 billion) -- Goldman Sachs (Market cap: $95 billion) -- Target (Market cap: $31.8 billion) -- American Airlines (Market cap: $27.7 billion) -- Ford Motor Company (Market cap: $43.5 billion) -- Deutsche Bank (Market cap: $37.7 billion) ###### [Stats Source / Yahoo Finance](https://finance.yahoo.com/most-active/) ----  ---- ## Some of the Backstory/History: ---- 20 years ago a Florida man paid someone in Bitcoin to deliver him two Papa John's pizzas--which may go down as the worst financial transaction of all time. Today, a slice of Pizza will cost you still a few dollars, as opposed to the price of Bitcoin which is now touching $12,000 $USD. Look up Bitcoin Pizza Day: A Yearly Celebration for the $20+ Million Pizza Order) The biggest player in the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin, set another record when its total value topped $200 billion for the first time Dec. 5th/2017 as discussed earlier. 2 weeks later (Dec. 19th, 2017, 2:50 pm EST) --- we literally crossed the $335B mark ... JUST for the one Bitcoin chain -- and we just crossed the total crypto market cap of HALF A TRILLION $$ around the same day, as mentioned earlier in this post. ---- ## Past Episodes: ### (Newest to Oldest) ---- https://steemit.com/money/@barrydutton/bitcoin-is-bigger-than-by-the-numbers-or-10-or-bitcoin-corrections-back-to-usd160b-market-cap-after-corrections-or-btc-is-bigger https://steemit.com/money/@barrydutton/bitcoin-is-bigger-than-by-the-numbers-or-9-or-bitcoin-corrections-back-to-usd130b-market-cap-after-corrections-or-btc-is-bigger ---- ### Trading Candle Cheat Sheet: --  [Further Reading/Source/Resources](https://www.investopedia.com) ---- ### Friend of the People -- Enemy of the State. -- https://i.imgur.com/iHrKXYo.jpg ---- Thanks for reading, have a nice day. ---- https://steemitimages.com/DQmWA1X5emBD5j49cRaaGECd1AcauntEs1GWV7LiV7C6BqC/image.png ###### PixaBay has tons of free pictures for us all to use!!! ###### Super Easy/Fast Picture Edits / Resizing at: http://www.picresize.com/ and also https://www298.lunapic.com/editor/ ---- https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmWGQ9N7Ysr3o9dir4G6hXrK9s7dfAoCbjmf6YQz4Uthdw/image.png ---- ---- http://i.imgur.com/68SXQpW.gif ---- ---- https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmeMsokLJHgvoqfQt44Zy7Kvmvjr68x51nGqfrtm65zqoe/image.png ---- #### If you liked this blog post - please Resteem it and share good content with others! -- ### Some of my recent blogs: -- https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@barrydutton/bitcoin-pullback-crypto-101-video-65-mins-tone-vays-former-wall-st-trader-show-w-jimmy-song-bitcoin-brief-bitcoin-pulled-back https://steemit.com/crypto-news/@barrydutton/crypto-101-what-is-shapeshift-currency-exchange-service-for-new-crypto-folks-or-overview-and-video-7-mins https://steemit.com/steemit/@barrydutton/breaking-steemit-global-alexa-ranking-we-just-broke-the-top-1000-last-night-i-blogged-on-us-sitting-at-1002 https://steemit.com/steemit/@barrydutton/sos-project-support-our-steemians-daily-donation-challenge-report-21-to-support-our-friends-on-steemit-in-independent-media Most Images: Gif's - via Giphy.com , Funny or Die.com / Pixabay.

I am dealing with some changes, and will have limited time online and will be happy if I get a few blog posts up a week. ###### This has really upset some people but I do not force my opinions on others, or need to communicate every detail of my life or issues, most people do not care anyways. I invested around 10 hours or more a day on Steemit most of my first 13 mths here, trying to build community, put out content and engage people, help and donate to people, and I just do not have that time in my life right now, and that includes for replies and voting/curation. ###### I have done my best, sorry if you do not understand like some are clearly having a problem with. It's a blogging platform, and I will do my best at everything, and to keep blogging. ###### Carry On. ---- https://steemitimages.com/DQmNuF3L71zzxAyJB7Lk37yBqjBRo2uafTAudFDLzsoRV5L/1.gif </center>
