## What it is
Cointop is a fast, lightweight interactive terminal UI application for tracking cryptocurrency coin stats in real time, inspired by htop with vim-style shortcuts. It supports portfolio tracking, price charts, favorites, fuzzy search, currency conversion, price alerts, and multiple data APIs like CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap.

## Use cases
- track crypto prices in the terminal
- monitor my bitcoin and ethereum holdings
- view cryptocurrency price charts from the command line
- track my crypto portfolio profit and loss
- set price alerts for coins with desktop notifications
- browse coin market caps like htop
- convert between cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies

## When to choose
- you want a fast, keyboard-driven terminal UI for crypto market data
- you prefer vim-style shortcuts and htop-like interfaces
- you need portfolio tracking and price alerts without leaving the terminal
- you want SSH access to a shared coin-tracking instance

## When to avoid
- you need a graphical web or mobile dashboard
- you require automated trading or exchange API integration
- you need historical data exports or programmatic access rather than interactive viewing
