Abstract generation in progress

Every time you enter a crypto chat or see market analysis, these magic letters appear: 1K, 1M, 1B, 1T… and you’re like “what does this mean in Spanish?”

Calm down, it's easier than it seems:

Abbreviation Means Example
1K 1,000 (mil) A cap of 50K = 50,000
1M 1,000,000 (one million) Bitcoin daily volume 500M USDT
1B 1,000,000,000 (billion) Company valued at 2B
1T 1,000,000,000,000 (billion) Total crypto market cap around 1T

Pro tip: The rule is simple: each jump adds three zeros

  • K = thousand (3 zeros)
  • M = one million (6 zeros)
  • B = one billion (9 zeros)
  • T = trillion (12 zeros)

Now when you see “The altcoin rose 200K in volume”, you already know it's 200,000. And when they say “that token has 5B tokens in circulation”, it's 5 billion.

Problem solved. You're welcome.
