Here's something most people miss: those tokens you see in FDV calculations? Many of them exist only on spreadsheets and won't hit exchanges anytime soon—possibly never.
FDV inflates perceived value by counting tokens locked away for years or sitting inactive. Meanwhile, Market Cap swings too far the other way, tracking only what's actively trading right now.
The real issue? Neither metric captures the tokens actually being issued into circulation. That's the blind spot everyone's working with.

It’s long been known that FDV is a fictitious figure, but the question is, how many people are still being misled?

It's ridiculous, that FDV number is just pure nonsense to fool people.

I've realized it now; I was really fooled by FDV before...

Nah, that's why so many people get rekt, seriously.
