Hi guys, this just bother me long time ago, and just popped up recently..
What is the purpose of token?
I can not figure it out because I have one token before and I did not know how to use it and I can not even transfer it to bitcoin. I am just wondering why people keep inventing and creating so much token at all.
I hope I can get POSITIVE response and not some hates and negative one.
Thank you.
Its just simply a representation or like a give to you by the ICO project. So if it represents them then obviously it can be traded. You can transfer it to bitcoin very easy as their are token/bitcoin pairing in any exchange as far as I know.
Actually having different tokens from different company are really has a purpose. Any company will do issue their token name because they wanted to be much popular and familiarizing in the market. The token serves them as a promotional strategy to easily recognizing their projects. Definitely different tokens has a different value in the market. Mostly campaign are giving their free token thru airdrops but there is a fact that it could be hastle for us because we need to wait for the exchanger before we can convert it to the currency that they want.
Well it could be promotional material, but most of the time those tokens have real life value specially if the project is really solid because investors will flock and purchase their tokens.
In fact, so many advantages of making tokens. well, many people make their own tokens, because they know, when a lot of people buy their tokens, the more profit they will make. well, the purpose of the token they make is different, so from that, they focus their token function on the product they have, to make things easier, or something else. so, users who are interested in their products, must have the type of token they have.
Exactly, the more investors they attract to purchase their tokens, the more the project look solid and legit resulting in the price getting pump all the way up. There are a lot of tokens sub $1 dollar but there are tokens that price above $10.
