🎯 Here's what CoinMarketCap actually does (and doesn't do):

First things first—CoinMarketCap is a data platform, not a trading venue. You won't find a buy or sell button there. If you're looking to trade crypto, you'll need to head to an actual exchange.

Withdrawals? Not happening on CMC. The platform doesn't hold your assets, so there's no way to pull coins out directly from there.

Now, about that Portfolio feature everyone talks about—it's purely a tracking tool. Think of it like a spreadsheet that monitors your holdings and their value in real time. But here's the catch: it's NOT a wallet. You can't store crypto there, and your tokens won't sit in any CMC address. It's just for watching your portfolio move.

So whether you're new to crypto or just need a refresher—CMC is your go-to for charts, rankings, and market data. Leave the actual trading and storing to the right tools.

CMC is just a market monitoring tool; don't expect it to help you trade or store coins. I've already complained about this before.

CMC is just a market analysis tool, don't treat it as a wallet. Too many beginners have been scammed.

Someone really uses CMC as a wallet? No wonder people keep asking how to withdraw tokens.

How many newbies have been fooled by CMC's portfolio feature? Really, they thought they could store coins, but in the end, nothing happened.

CMC is just a data dashboard, and some people really think they can trade on it? That's hilarious. Luckily, they have the portfolio feature, or else even viewing the market would be uncomfortable.

Haha, some people still don't understand what CMC is... It's not the first time I've seen people ask if they can withdraw directly from CMC, lol. Portfolio is just a market tracking tool; I can't believe anyone would seriously treat it as a wallet. CMC is just a database; don't expect it to do the exchange's job. There are still people using tracking tools as wallets these days, truly unbelievable.

CMC is just a market monitoring tool; don't expect it to handle trading and storing coins... Many newcomers have actually been scammed.

Does anyone really want to trade on CMC? That's hilarious. Just look at the charts.

Another bunch of newbies need to be taught again... CMC is just a market monitoring tool, it's really unreasonable to just deposit money there.
