Coin vs Tokens

[Aris novianto]

from the past until now I prefer tokens, if we work in a bounty campaign we will get a reward in the form of tokens and we get tokens without capital, if we already get tokens I will exchange my tokens to coins, I prefer free tokens.

a very important material explanation between coins and tokens, I only see that coins can be used for transactions, while tokens cannot be used. that's what I've read and observed. and maybe so far I think many bitcoin users use bitcoin as a digital asset. still too rarely used for real transactions, and even then only partially.

Depends on how you differentiate the meaning but in this case they are both same. If you wish to buy coins just read an article and white paper to understand the real meaning of the coins you really want to be vested.

Coins have their own blockchain in this regard and they have today opportunities that do not have tokens, I think that in general this is the main difference, because tokens are projects that are based on large platforms such as ETH or NEO

I would like to add that some coins are tokens from the start before they built their own blockchain. All you have to do is swap the token to mainnet coin before the deadline or else you lose your money.

Coins, as far as i know is called to basically any altcoin which has developed its own blockchain and all the transactions of that coin take place upon that separate blockchain. Moreover most of the time yes they are primarily for the purpose of usage as currency while tokens are primarily for gathering funds for some specific venture and then using that token as a share whose market value would fluctuate.

Some people here are still confused about the difference between tokens and coins. Coins are coins that have their own platform since birth. Whereas tokens are coins that do not have a platform. Tokens only stick to other coin platforms. Then it's easier to create tokens than coins.
