Where Price Comes From

Lesson outline

  • Price is born in exchange order books and liquidity pools — where buyers meet sellers.
  • Market cap = price × circulating supply; why a "$0.0001 cheap coin" is not cheap.
  • Liquidity: how much you can actually buy or sell without moving the price.
  • Where to look: CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, DexScreener.

CHECK YOURSELF
1. A coin costs $0.0001 and Bitcoin costs $100,000. Does that make the coin "cheap" and bound to grow?
2. What does low token liquidity mean?
