I've seen many people ask what 100k means, especially when they see numbers like that on Twitter or in conversations about cryptocurrencies. The truth is, it's not as complicated as it seems.
Basically, the K comes from kilo and represents a thousand. So 100k is 100k. Simple, right? But there are more levels of this scale that are important to know.
Look, 1K is a thousand, that's clear. But when you start seeing 10K, 100K, we're talking about bigger numbers. And then there's the M, which means a million. 1 million is 1k,000. If you see 5M in a cryptocurrency conversation or on YouTube, we're talking about 5 million.
Now, if someone mentions 1B, that's a billion. A billion is a thousand million, or 1M,000. When you see 10B, imagine ten billion. These numbers start to get serious.
In the crypto world, freelance work, or YouTube, you'll see these terms constantly. If someone says a video had 500K views, they mean 500k. If a coin has a market cap of 2B, we're talking about 2 billion. Understanding this scale helps you better evaluate the numbers and not be fooled by figures that seem huge but aren't that much.
Next time you see these numbers, you'll know exactly what they refer to. And if you're following projects like WCT, PNUT, or MASK, these terms will appear in every market analysis.
