#### It is recommended to read the above mentioned article before proceeding. For the impatient, here are some key concepts:
The equation of exchange is MV = PQ, when applied to crypto an interpretation is:
M = size of the asset base
V = velocity of the asset
P = price of the digital resource being provisioned
Q = quantity of the digital resource being provisioned
A cryptoasset valuation is largely comprised of solving for M, where M = PQ / V. M is the size of the monetary base necessary to support a cryptoeconomy of size PQ, at velocity V.
**P does not represent the price of the cryptoasset, but instead the price of the resource being provisioned by the cryptonetwork.**
In the example of Filecoin, P would be Price per gigabyte provisioned and Q would be total gigabytes.`
