Title: Tokens or Coins as an investment?
Post by: MoonIsBlue on July 12, 2018, 11:57:29 PM
Do you make a distinction between tokens and coins when you're looking to invest in ICOs? For those that don't know the difference, a coin belongs to a network that has its own blockchain as opposed to for example a token which belongs to a Decentralized application.

Ethereum, Bitcoin, Ripple and Monero are coins. (for example)
SelfKey, REQ, GVT and Civic are tokens. (for example)

Do you think one is more lucrative or wiser as an investment than the other? What makes you invest in tokens as opposed to coins and vice versa? Do you think tokens or coins carry more risk as an investment?
