Title: Altcoins vs Tokens - What is more likely to crash the crypto market?
Post by: Tipity on January 22, 2018, 06:59:39 PM
Hi Crypto revolutionists!

Our analysts believe that altcoins created for the purpose of serving as a p2p currency will sustain and grow the cryptocurrency eco-system, where as crypto tokens created for the use of crowdfunding will eventually halt, slow down and eventually crash the crypto market.

What are your views?




Sidenote: Tipity is a P2P Altcoin that is a small but hugely important part of the cryptocurrency revolution.

I would just like to ask you this, what is altcoin by the way? Which thing are you referring to if you are differentiating it from cryptocoins?. I don't know on what sense is the difference between altcoin and a crypto-token. Please do enlighten me?

I have seen the links of that New coin again but I wont bother to read it up until you do answer such questions.

We view altcoins as cryptocoins (currency - something that doesn't expire), and crypto tokens as vouchers that have an expiry.

We believe that a clear distinction needs to be made between the two and reflected on exchanges, they should not be used interchangeably.

To take our point one step further....
Crypto-token may run on a decentralised blockchain, but the tokens are pegged to a centralized unit (company). It is our belief that this centralization will limit the cryptoCURRENCY's potential for growth.

Does this make sense?
