It seems many folks mistakenly believe that "market cap" represents how much money went into something, or how much value something has. For an illiquid asset that involves insider trading, "market cap" is an entirely made-up number.

That’s the reason I say market cap is a bad measure of a company size. Tesla is larger than GM or Ford, yet it represents a tiny part of the real automotive market.

I've always wondered if there's a term for something like: the total area under the price curve if every stock issued by a company were to change hands once.

Coincidentally saw this earlier: https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/pzgjj9/heres_how_i_turned_001_into_1000000_and_how_you/ … Most seem to think it's a joke and the understanding of market cap (or "personal wealth", see Bernie Sanders) just flies over their heads IIRC Paul Graham had a similar example to create a unicorn with $1 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
