Just realized how many people don't actually know what K, M, and B mean lol. Like, I was scrolling through crypto chats and everyone throws around these numbers like 100k, 5M, 1B but half the people reading it have no clue what's going on.



So quick breakdown: K is thousand (from kilo), M is million, B is billion. Simple math right? 1K = 1,000. Then 100k = 100,000. Now here's where it gets interesting—100k = 1 million? Nope, that's wrong. 100k is actually just 100,000. You need 10 of those to hit 1 million. Easy to mix up when you're looking at charts all day.

I see this a lot in crypto especially. Someone's talking about hitting 100k on a coin and people get hyped, but then you realize they meant 100,000 not understanding the scale. Or they're talking about a 1B market cap and everyone's freaking out. Just gotta know the difference between a thousand, a million, and a billion to actually understand what's happening with prices and valuations.

Anyone else get confused by this stuff at first? Anyway, if you're trading or following projects like WCT, PNUT, or MASK, knowing these numbers actually matters for understanding where things are headed.
WCT-1.85%
PNUT-2.75%
MASK-1.71%
