Possibly, yes? It’s not my cryptocurrency, it’s just one I’ve used and known about for a few years. Dogecoin is something else; I don’t know how that meme coin got so big. Also by your same logic, should we not trust the USDC stablecoin because it’s #18? Lol

Should definitely not trust the USDT stable coin in spite of its position at #5. I'm just saying market cap isn't a function of trust.

Right on USDT. But Marketcap is a function of overall value and what gives money value oftentimes (but not entirely) is trust.
