 <p class="paragraph">Not surprisingly, the highest score goes to Bitcoin (BTC), the leading cryptocurrency by market cap, and the open-source software responsible for creating this industry and all the other projects that surged in the last 15 years.</p> 
 <p class="paragraph">Bitcoin <a rel="dofollow" title="scores" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/scores.html">scores</a> 46 according to Masuch’s methodology, with over 100,000 stars, given by GitHub users as an indicator that they liked the open-source project.</p> 
 <p class="paragraph">Interestingly, with a $510.40 billion market cap by press time, BTC has $5,104 dollars for each star.</p> 
 <p class="paragraph">Cosmos (ATM), a cross-chain cryptocurrency, gets second place with a score of 43 and 22,000 stars. Considering its $2.35 billion market cap, ATM has $106 dollars for each star.</p> 
 <p class="paragraph">Stellar (XLM) comes in third, with 36 points and 8,500 stars, resulting in $417 dollars for each star, with XLM’s $3.54 billion market cap.</p> 
 <p class="paragraph">Notably, the higher the result on the ‘market cap/stars’ division, the more overbought a cryptocurrency is according to this market indicator.</p> 
 <p class="paragraph">Algorand (ALGO) <a rel="dofollow" title="scores" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/scores.html">scores</a> 35 points with 2,900 stars, coming above XRPL (XRP) in the fifth position with 34 points, but a higher number of stars (6,900) — which shows that other metrics are also being taken into consideration while evaluating each project.</p> 
 <p class="paragraph">ALGO has a $709.36 million market cap, resulting in around $244 per star, while the software developed by Ripple, with a $25.44 billion market capitalization, is the second ‘most expensive’ asset among the top five builders with $3,687 per star.</p>
