To be in coinmarketcap's top 100 list would require a marketcap of over $700M. Which the BFG doesn't seem to be able to achieve. But nothing is impossible in cryptocurrency and therefore BFG is a gambling platform token and a gambling platform generates a lot of revenue. So if Tim invests here and buys and burns tokens from the market, that can pump up the price of BFG. And due to increase in price, the market cap will also increase. otherwise not possible.
Not to sound pessimistic but I honestly can tell you that there is no way BFG token is ever entering the top 100 in coinmarketcap based on what I've seen with this token ever since I knew it and even invested in it before dumping it.
For any token to gain over $700 million dollars in market cap to qualify it for the top 100, it's not just about buying and burning a certain amount of its supply, there are several other important factors that have to be in checkmark ✅, and one or some of those factors is..
1. Exchanges listed - BFG is only listed on DEXs at the moment, it can't boast of any good centralized exchange.
2. Trading volume.
3. Great community of holders and supporters of the project - this BFG also lack and it's one of the reasons why it can't even boast of a good trading volume over 24 hours.
Again, not saying top 100 is absolutely impossible for BFG, but clearly, the team behind this project have no such vision for the token, they are not ready for the great deal of work involved to achieve that.
At the time, Betfury wrote that post in 2021, the threshold for the top 100 was ~641 mln, i.e. it was slightly less than it is now. But you correctly noted that it's unrealistic to reach the top 100 without listing on popular exchanges.
By the way, it's funny that any hyped meme token without any utility can get into the top 100 without any problems, while more interesting tokens with utility can't do that. And the BFG token is just an example of that.
