Bitcoin's ranking on most major lists raises eyebrows. Given its dominance in market cap and network value, why does it consistently fall short of the third position? Worth examining what criteria these rankings actually use.

Something's not right. Why isn't BTC, the number one, in the top three... Who set the logic for these rankings?

Nah, this ranking logic is really ridiculous... BTC's market cap is the largest but it can't even make it into the top three? Maybe there's something wrong with these lists.

The ranking algorithm is really funny. Bitcoin, with the largest market cap, is actually ranked below third place. What a twisted logic!

Hi again, it's the same ranking game... What's the deal, is being the number one in BTC market cap not enough? Do you have to be number one on the list to count?

Ranking algorithms are playing tricks again... I've seen through this routine long ago; gas fees are the real ranking criterion.

That ranking algorithm is just to generate buzz and hype. With BTC's market cap sitting right there, how can it be pushed out of the top three? That's just ridiculous.
