As a financial professional, I'm curious to understand the methodology behind calculating the market capitalization of cryptocurrencies. Could you please elaborate on the process? Specifically, I'd like to know if it involves multiplying the current price of a cryptocurrency with its circulating supply, and if there are any other factors that need to be considered. Additionally, how does this calculation differ from traditional financial markets, and what are some common mistakes people make while estimating market cap? Your insights would be greatly appreciated.
