Updated: Sep 13, 2020

In cryptocurrency trading, you need the right tools and resources to help you execute transactions and analyze the entire market's general health. Some of the essential things to consider include :
The Market cap
The market cap is the product of the total circulating supply of a coin and the price (circulating supply multiplied by the price)
The price of the coin
The price indicates the trading value and can be toggled to show the fiat value, bitcoin value, or Ethereum value.
Cryptocurrency markets are very volatile, hence the need for a reliable site that will track a specific coin price with 100% precision.
The circulating supply
The circulating supply is the number of coins trading at any particular moment.
As the name suggests, maximum supply is the maximum number of coins that will ever exist. Let's take an example of bitcoin as of today, September 8th, 2020.
