As always, though, market cap isn't really the current share price times number number of shares. It is the accumulated sum of all the buy offers over the top N share bids (N = number of shares in existence), not all of which are max price.
- rallison 13y agoIt seems the media is just starting to notice the non-bitcoin crypto currencies: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/litecoin-heres-everything-know-digital-193238685.html http://finance.yahoo.com/news/litecoin-heres-everything-know... Although, to be fair, Wired noticed it back in June: http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2013-06/16/litecoin http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2013-06/16/litecoin Litecoin is still minor news, but with more exchanges starting to support it [1], it might actually amount to something. As for my own bias: I own a very trivial number of litecoins and bitcoins (most from a small amount of mining), so I wouldn't mind these increasing even more. That said, I am still skeptical, but I am enjoying watching this all play out.

Still a useful benchmark, but not without some caveats.
