Digital spaces use "K" for thousand. Simple stuff.
1K = 1,000
10K = 10,000
100K = 100,000
Web3 folks throw this around when talking prices or community size. Kind of everywhere these days.
The Million Mark 🔥
A million. Big number. Has six zeros trailing behind it like excited fans:
1,000,000 = one million
5,000,000 = five million
10,000,000 = ten million
Financial types write it as "M" mostly. Sometimes "MM" in accounting circles. Scientists get fancy with their 1e6 notation. Whatever works!
Billion Territory 🌕
Billions are massive. Crypto whales swim here.
1,000,000,000 = one billion
10,000,000,000 = ten billion
These numbers make my head spin. Not entirely clear why we need this many zeros.
Numbers Get Cultural 🌎
Numbers look different depending where you're standing.
Indians count differently. They say:
10 Lakhs = 1 Million (10,00,000)
Seems weird until you grow up with it.
