Top Cryptocurrencies Explained
If you are new to the blockchain world, here is a quick overview of the assets supported by our calculator:
- Bitcoin (BTC): The first and most valuable cryptocurrency, often referred to as "digital gold."
- Ethereum (ETH): The leading platform for smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps).
- Stablecoins (USDT/USDC): Coins pegged 1:1 to the US Dollar, designed to minimize volatility.

Why Do Crypto Prices Change So Fast?
Unlike traditional stock markets that close at night, the crypto market trades 24/7/365. Volatility is driven by:
- Market Sentiment: News, social media trends (like Elon Musk's tweets), and fear/greed indices.
- Regulatory News: Government policies regarding banning or taxing crypto.
- Technological Updates: Network upgrades (like "The Merge") or security breaches.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is this price the same on all exchanges?
Not exactly. Our data comes from Binance, the world's largest exchange by volume. Prices on other platforms like Coinbase or Kraken may vary slightly due to liquidity differences (arbitrage opportunities).
What is a "Satoshi"?
A Satoshi (sat) is the smallest unit of Bitcoin. 1 Bitcoin = 100,000,000 Satoshis. It allows people to buy fractions of a Bitcoin if they cannot afford a whole one.
