The price of a crypto asset matters if you own it already. 

It doesn't matter if you don't own it. It's downstream of market cap.

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

if they moved 1:1, I'd agree. but market cap doesn't evolve the same way a token price does, so it can't be a substitute 

both should be there, one acts as a buy reference point, the other an understanding of potential upside

the market cap can go up 20%, while the price doesn't move

it's not a substitute

if I buy the token at $1, I understand that if it goes to $2 I will have doubled my money, but can't say the same thing as market cap

> one acts as a buy reference point

two assets

same price

market cap is 1000x difference

price communicates nothing
