The bitcoin market value was higher than the value of Disney, McDonald's or IBM. By the end of November 2017, the value of Bitcoin has reached $ 10,000 per unit. At that time, about 16.7 million Bitcoins were in circulation, and the bitcoin market capitalization at that time reached $ 167,156,585,840 as of November 28, 1977, actually higher than Disney, McDonald's or IBM, and slightly higher than GE.

That's a good research and great numbers for the crypto economy. Sadly they are going down and my BTC is a sick dead in my wallet.

At the moment it is impossible to compare the capitalization of the cryptocurrencies and the capitalization of companies that work in the real sector of the economy. The money invested in the Corporation make a profit. The money invested in cryptocurrency work as speculative capital. They do not bring added value. Only reallocate resources. It's probably one of the reasons for the high volatility of cryptocurrency.

That's the real fact. We are not even having proper regulation for the crypto currency. This is like so much open source that anyone can put money at anytime and take it out at anytime.

Manipulation can be done to overall market cap with no prior notice this making the prices and market cap very vulnerable to stay stable. That's why the volatility and stuff. Rest of the real world merchandise is pre set business with taxation and contribution to the country in other ways. So truly there is no comparison.
