Coin vs Tokens

[LuckyHarriet]

I really don't understand why people always try to start a competition on everything it spoil the situation sometimes ,  coin and token both are part of crypto, it up to the investors choice which one they prefer but both of them are good on their own ways

[crzy]

The difference between coin and token is very clear as op described above, somehow it's quite confusing that people called coin as a token or token as a coin, You can find them even in the crypto related site which is bad,coin has their own platform and operates independently while token is not, it requires another platform such as ethereum to exist, people have to know the difference between these two things.

Yeah, most newbies gets confused about this two but its really important to know the difference so you will be confident where to invest. If the project have their own blockchain technology then I think it has an advantage compare to others.

I do not think it's a good idea to compare tokens and coins. It seems to me that tokens are even more promising and profitable. But coin usually are more stable and reliable.

One of the big difference coins minable tokens not.
Tokens usually need for proofing your investments in ICO

Coins are more reliable than token values in the market. ICO tokens are mostly undesirably scams, and many of the tokens are just in future shitcoins. Coins launched in the market are more likely to endure, some coins become dead though because the lack of public interest and reliability.

I don't think such discussion is really required for people who are just here to invest or to know about useful facts on crypto space. All they need to know is that tokens are distributed through ICO but coins are not rather coin is a unit of value that operates on its own blockchain.

Tokens are very important in the Cryptocurrency world as well. Because of tokens and ICOs crypto-space has evolved this much. If we stay awake in the market with utmost cautiousness, we can be benefitted mostly by tokens tough there are many scams.

Coins are not just a method of payments in the crypto-space. Many coins are here which are mostly used as a resource or asset but the payment. Having them in the blockchain makes many investors HODL them for a really long time, they will be benefited most I assume.

I think much better coins than the tokens because some tokens are no value like coin have a value in trading site and for now if you invest much better coins like ethereum.

[danbitcoin1]

Most tokens are coins really though as people are just treating them as an investment, hardly anyone buys them to use as a utility token.

[BitNaija]

I have been using the two interchangeably. I never thought of any significant difference between coin and token.

[takose46]

I do not think there is much difference between them. Coins have own network, nodes and smart contract. Token use other coins network like Etherum, NEO, Stellar etc...

[samarabtc]

Newbie are always being confused between coin and tokens and hope this post should them to make difference between them. So this is a most wellcoming post here.

Tokens are used for much specific purposes on a certain platform on which the tokens are made. Suppose in a music platform we may use some tokens for listening to musics or watching music videos.

[Catesknee]

all types of coins and tokens both are part of cryptocurrency market , and this can be used for investment but yes because of lack of popublicity tokens didn't able to achieve that much familiar and attention as the coins have but hopefully very soon situation will be changed so we better not start any competition between this two

[bolshojkush]

The difference between coins and tokens has long been known, you can read a lot of articles on the Internet. Thank you for old information!

[kabir ullah]

Many people have these confusions. They often mess up between token and coin. I think coins only store value by which people can do certain tasks. Besides tokens can be owned by using coin.

[automail]

Just like the others, I was also confused between the two and assumed that both of them were the same. Now, I know the difference. This is just a good to know so we don't sound ignorant when we talk about the coins or tokens. Thanks for sharing.

[GoldenShark]

I think one of the major difference between tokens and coins in that tokens works on specific decentralized apps. Token doesn't need a own blockchain where every coins have their own blockchain.

Nice article. It will be very easy to understand between tokens and coins to newbie. Digital coins can use as a money that we use in real life and a particular utility is simply represent by tokens.
