The Vibe: The real price something would sell for right now if buyer and seller both agree fairly.
The Details: It’s just the normal market price you see on good exchanges—no tricks, no rush. In crypto, people (and tax offices) use this price when you get coins (like from staking or airdrops), sell them, or trade them. It helps figure out if you made money or lost money.
Pro Tip: Check prices on big sites like CoinMarketCap or CoinGecko for a fair average. Save screenshots or records of the price on important days in case you need them for taxes.
