just realized how many people in crypto don't actually know what these numbers mean lol. like when someone says they made 1M or their portfolio hit 1B, half the time people are confused 😅
one million means 1,000,000 btw - that's 1M. see it everywhere on social media, youtube views, follower counts, crypto portfolios. and when you see 1B that's 1,000,000,000 which is honestly wild when you think about it
the K thing is easier - that's just thousand. 1K = 1,000. so when you're scrolling through exchanges or trading, 10K means 10,000. pretty straightforward once you know
if you're doing anything online - whether it's freelancing, youtube, or trading crypto - you'll see these abbreviations constantly. honestly wish they taught this stuff more clearly because people get confused all the time about what one million means vs what a billion actually is. the difference is huge lol
anyway if you work in crypto or social media at all, just bookmark this. saves you from asking awkward questions later 💯
