Sorry to be a bit off topic here, but: while I agree with the other comments here about this company being very early stage to have such a large market value, what I think a lot of people tend to forget that the dollar has lost a lot of value over the last 5, 10, 20 yers. A billion dollars isn’t what it used to be.

What is not clear is if this company has strong patent protection for their innovation of sharing blockchain. I would guess that this might be why they have a high paper value.

A billion dollars is still an extremely large amount of money. The market cap is the "market price" of the coin times the number of coins. That's why they all appear so large. The price is inflated because a very small group of people owns a majority. You're only seeing a very small part of it floating. In reality, there's almost no real money at all. As you put your money in their's will come out. Good luck!
