Bitcoin Forum

Hello, I want to join the crypto world and invest some money in it, but I really do not know much about it, my question would be: should I invest some money in a crypto coin or in a token ? I hear my friends talking about them but did not understand very well which is which. Thank you !

Hi, before saying I want to advise you not make a big investment from the first place if you are new to this world. Now, the coins are already digital currencies that are available on the markets and they do not have a fixed price (yet) so they fluctuate a lot, also you can buy them from many places; Tokens are not available on markets from the start and you can only buy them from the people that made the token and the ICO itself, after a while the token could be released on the markets and its price would start to go up&down. I think you should read a little bit about them on the web, you can find pretty much everything there.

If you want to invest, you have to invest in crypto. Never invest in tokens, as there are now so many unsuccessful ICO projects.

Thank you guys, I did a bit of research and I think I should buy some coins for the moment, some ethereum maybe but also heard that you can make big profits if you find a good ICO to invest in.

Coin have own blockhain but token with eth address. Long term invest coin is better than token but need more and more informations about it

Tokens, you always can exchange them on coins. 

it's better to invest your money in coins, because it's clear the market and obviously the demand. Your job is to research the good coins and the low price. Currently the ethereum is pretty good and the price is low, if you want to invest coin, you can choose coher ethereum for starters. Ethereum is good enough for investment.

First of all welvome to the world of cryptocurrency.
Well as far as I know tokens are issued as ICO, which are based on ethereum erc20 tokens, while coins have it's own blockchain and are already digitized currency which are available in most of the crypto exchanges. And fas as I preference is concerned, I always like to invest in crypto's rather than tokens.

we can excharge coins with tokens.
so I choose tokens.  8)

if you want to enter crypto then the first thing you do is study crypto currency, the direct action of investing in crypto is a wrong step. if you do not know crypto currency and lasngu invest just the same you kill yourself. difference coin and tokens you do not know yet. should first learn do not directly invest

Thank you all, I decided to research a little more first then I will buy some ethereum or maybe another coin, I do not want to risk losing money investing in a wrong token

We do job to earn token why not when you earn token you can always transfer it into coin then think about it when and where you can invest it to the ICO.

Sorry but I did not quite understand what you mean, could you be more specific, please?

Hi, just some well meant advise.

1. Always do your own research
2. Do not invest more than you can, or are willing to lose, worst case scenario you lose everything
3. Look for a project you believe in, that has value, rather than making a quick buck
4. The value of any coin or project will eventually come from implementation and utilization of the product, not from short-term investors/traders looking to cash out quick

I think its better to do a market research before invest to coin or token

Ok, thank you guys, I will take in consideration all of the above

As a newbie, I suggest that you don't rush to invest in cryptocurrencies. You can learn a lot of trading skills from Youtube and invest again, which is very good for you!

Coin

I prefer a thousand times the coins that tokens because some do not succeed

As Vitalik wrote " Vitalik Buterin knows a thing or two about how to launch a cryptocurrency. At 23, the co-founder of Ethereum is widely considered to be an expert in the field, having written about the subject extensively before diving in and developing his own platform. However, Buterin is realistic about the prospects of the vast majority of initial coin offerings. Speaking at the ETHWaterloo hackathon earlier this month, he stated it should be an established fact in the cryptocurrency industry that most token startups will fail. Buterin estimates at least 90 percent are doomed."

:) So i think only invest in top10 crypto or realy good tokens  ( good ICO )

If you want to invest, coins!

Depends on your goals.
If you are looking for a really high profit - try tokens, but be careful as it is very risky.
If you are not ready to lose all your money - go with coins

Token and coins are both good for investment.
But I can suggest that you invest on coins since they have own blockchains.
Tokens can be interchange with coins as well or vice versa.

And most importantly, I suggest too that you need to learn more about cryptocurrency before engaging on it.
It's not that easy to understand but you will get there once you have the foundation

Token ofcourse.

Both are good for investment. It tdepends on the project mostly. Both can rise and fall exactly the same.

For investment , I would go for coins!

It matters what do you really want to do with tokens/coins next: The difference between tokens and coins is that tokens don't have their own blockchain, they are based on a standard crypto blockchain. It is easier to be used, compared to coins, that have their own chains. Now decide what do you really want to make.

In the cryptocurrency market, there are only two kinds of coins, one is bitcoin, and the other is altcoin! If you want to know more, then you should go to youtube.com, there is a video to explain!

Tokens, Coins might be too stable (low) right now, and you always can exchange tokens.

The difference between tokens and coins is that coins have their own blockchain adn tokens do not have their own.

It`s important to constantly monitor the market. It`s good to study the ICO on the lists and analyze what it is better to invest. Many have their secrets, all that is to find their own and try to accumulate capital)

Small Tip For You: Make sure you invest what you can....The reward can be awesome however, you have to be ready for anything as well

You don't have to invest in any form. Start from something simple first, for example following a bounty. If you are ready for the next stage then you can make an investment.

Invest to coin to get you big reward next year
