Hi folks,
this seems like a trivial thread but I was reading this today > https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@thecrytotrader/5-cryptocurrencies-which-are-more-expensive-then-bitcoin
this was published one year ago.
For example, the coin named 42-coin is by far the most expensive (at the time of the article it was above $50,000, right now it is still well above $15,000 per coin).

I know market capitalization matters much more than the actual price, but just curious, do you ever consider the actual price of the coin before buying? I mean what motivates people to buy these very expensive coins?

Any constructive opinion welcome.

I do not think people are motivated to buy it, because i tried to check the 24 hours volume and i discovered how low it is.A coin might be expensive, but that does not mean it is a good coin to buy. Always do proper research before deciding to buy a coin.

Hey, Perfect. Thinking about the price of one coin is IMHO an error.

I've been interested in rare cryptos for a long time. Here are some thoughts: low volume is always a problem. So, bear that in mind.

The 'bottom line' is:

many coins are inflationary. And that is a downwards pressure on price. And all coins have accidental losses. And these help 'balance the numbers' where interest provides for increases in the total number of units.

And: the 'real' number of units in a currency is the number of 'whole coins' times the number of units in each coin. (And the tx fee can never be less than one of those units).

Here's the genius of 42-coin: it's deflationary: some tx fees are destroyed during transactions. And in the first place, there were only 42 times 100,000,000 units (standard 'sats' = 0.00000001)

So, any lost units are . . . lost. And meanwhile, the total number of units is being slowly whittled away. And in a world in which quantitative easing is creating phunnee munnee at stupendous rates, I find the notion of a hard-core deflationary 'instrument' a very interesting thing.

Note: check 42 on Livecoin. The amounts traded are tiny. No one is likely to ever put a whole coin on the market.

I think BTC is the most expensive digital currency so far, and at the same way very profitable for long-term hold. I'm currently planning on getting it into my portfolio no matter how expensive it is.

We have so many coin in the market that are very much expensive and I don't see any reason why people actually make purchase of this coin.

Because, most of this coin don't have a real life value to the crypto community and I can be very sure that they might not be an increase in the price of that coin anymore since it has gotten to the pick it can get, maybe there is a ways they make profit from this coins, or this coins are owned by whales in the crypto space who has a lot of money and don't know what to do with it.

I think right now, the most expensive of some of these coins that are well known is Bitcoin is we are to base it on coinmarket record, I have really not head of such coin OP mentioned that is that expensive but I can be sure that most of those coins are strictly utility coin and you would not experience any fluctuation that will make it valid for investment, they can only be used as store value and for payment because they will tend to stabilize on that.

Let us watch out for BTC, the moment BTC reaches its all-time high and there are no longer much manipulations in the market, BTC will also retain a very high value for a very long time. Like this trivia, bitcoin will be more reliable for those who want to use it for payment and store of value.

BTC is still the most expensive currency. It is difficult for any electronic currency to replace BTC's position.

"cheap" and "expensive" are comparative characteristics for an asset. you can't call a large number "expensive" and a small one "cheap". being expensive means the coin is worth more than it should. for example an altcoin can be worth $2 and be considered expensive because its true value is $0.01 or vice versa.

this is completely false. market capitalization means absolutely nothing.
the only time MC is important is when you are speculating based on how many newbies think a useless altcoin that is getting pumped is worth. newbies look at MC and think if it has a high MC it should be a good coin. but they also look at MC and think if it reaches X then it is impossible to go beyond it because X is a big number.

what you should look at is the price itself. not the value but where it is. is it undervalued or overvalued? if it is the former then buy if it is the later then sell. simple as that.

Either expensive or not what really matters is market cap ,the coins or tokens that are expensive means nothing to investors when investing ,the call is for investors only and many investors this days prefer to buy cheaper coins and tokens hoping to get 10x profits some day ,I still prefer to buy bitcoin for long term even has expensive as it is now

At present, the most expensive one I want to say is bitcoin, the market value is the first. It is also widely used. If it exceeds Bitcoin in unit price, it is because the quantity is very rare and is not considered.

Where there is not much spread in the owners of a coin and they are not willing or cant sell the value can be tremendous on the initial price.
It is one of the ways a coin could have a high value on paper.

Maybe because of low capital; but I do not consider the high prices
Coins with high prices are good they can give you 1-2% instant profit on day trading

But when it comes to doing it cheap and smart; projects with good product and of low prices are the best fits; such can do 10x or 1000x

I think most of this expensive coins are so expensive because they are very limited supply, i see coins that have just 1... Coin supply and this can be one of reason for this high price.

They are expensive because they are expensive. Apply the law of supply and demand but every coin that has lesser supply is too expensive.

I do not think such coins are legit, if they would have been legit projects then we should have known them and they would have sufficient trading volumes so these kind of coins seems personal sort of coins with supply of only 1 to a few and are usually traded in decimal units but personally i would not go near such coins.

Look at its daily trading volume, you will see very few people interested in it, although there are times when the price of one currency is up to nearly 150k$

As far as I know, these coins were created by private companies for facilitating their transactions and they are far from the crypto market, so, they are not affected by what is on the market.

yeah right the price is kicking with mass adoption of the coin which gains high popularity in market, it is new era where many altcoins has become part of the market and I have faith on few of them just like bitcoin, EHT and ripple are best coin at the moment, but I am sure later on in future price of these coins will be highly expensive.
