For the first time in history, the total market cap of cryptocurrencies surpassed $600 billion.

I've been closely watching this metric for the last month, noting when it went past half a trillion, just 5 days ago, when it went past $400 billion, 11 days ago, and when it went past $300 billion, 21 days ago.

During the last 3 weeks, the crypto market cap doubled in size. Stop for a while and try to digest this.

And it's not only about the speed of growth as it is about the size. Because this growth didn't happen from $100 million to $200 million. It happened from $300 billion, which is just a bit more than Singapore's GDP. In 3 weeks, cryptos doubled with the yearly GDP of Singapore.

What's interesting, though, is that Bitcoin's dominance went down 10% last week, which means the growth came mainly from alts.

Which may mean that this is just the beginning.

Why are you feeding the bot?

Wow more and more people are getting involved in cryto now.

In my opinion, it is the best strategy to buy a very small amount from every altcoin because then outliers will push the whole performance of investor's portfoilio. If an investor buys 50% of all the smallest cryptocurrencies he or she will most likely outperform the cryptocurrency market as a whole. The reason for this is that smaller cryptocurrencies have a higher growth potential then larger cryptocurrencies have. Does anybody know if there exists an exchange where many small-cap altcoins can be bought?

Things are moving so fast, I see people involved in crypto for years and I feel so new and also late here, for just two months
