In order to use a token for the purpose it is meant, then you must be know the actual service that the token was designed for. If you don't want to use it for the exact service, then trade and convert to any other crypto or fiat.

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.

I'll give you just this, amazing idea and implementation of a smart contract to create a stabletoken, always worth 1$ covered by ethereum:

The token is commonly used for business transactions and especially online transactions. You see this as a required password for each transaction for security purposes.
By using Transaction Token code, businesses will ensure accuracy. Once you have confirmed with Token, you have signed the contract without any further proof. Token code is as valid as your signature.

Purpose of token is to give incentive to investors so that they can do trading similar as people doing trading shares in stock market. Mainly tokens have generated for incentives people for investment or running super nodes.
More than half of the tokens are created just to collect the money in ICO and then leave that project. This has created lot of mishaps and scams and it has impacted a lot in the digital currency bad reputation.

There must be a mechanism where we can eliminate all these scams ICO / token and only good tokens/coins should  be allowed to be created with a solid background.

The reason for creation of all these tokens and coins is that people are creating projects and those tokens are linked with that project.  This is for the good projects.

The purpose of creating tokens is as a domestic currency to pay for their goods and services in the blokchain system.
Allows someone to invest money into projects with high liquidity. Tokens can be used, as a tool for financial transactions, with a guarantee of a fixed interest rate, with a return for a certain period. Allows anyone who wants to invest in a startup with a guarantee of obtaining part of the cost of revenue or transactions for all cryptocurrency in the payment system.

A token is supposed to have a very unique function. But the whole thing has now changed. We keep on seeing tokens everyday without a purpose.

ICO is a form of crowdfunding. In a project; a cryptocurrency which is also called token is used to attract investors for the development of the project. The purpose of the token is stimulate investment and getting fund for this project via this way.

If you see a potential and trust a project, you buy a token or invest in it and may gain a profit indirectly. Because this token is used as a payment tool of the project for which goods or services that are sold. When price of this token rises, you gain a profit and may realize it by exchanging this token.

Like stock exchanges companies issue shares to public,  In blockchain world companies issue token to investors.  Investors invest for the hope of rise in price after the ico.
Tokens can be sell on exchanges and can be converted into BTC.

Generally, tokens have the following characteristics:
1. They have the purchasing power - you can buy services using tokens;
2. They act as a currency in a closed ecosystem;
3. They can be an indicator of the holder’s share in a certain “enterprise”;
4. They are a form of reward for some actions.

If you cannot sell your tokens, this means that the related project is of no interest to other investors and is probably a scam.

Depends on the project, there are mainly two types of coins:

-security token: it acts somewhat like a regular bond, investors might even get shares and profit comes from the performance of the company

-utility token: it has a more real-life purpose, for example crypto casinos, where you use the tokens to play black jack etc.

Token that we get in different bounty campaigns may help us to gain or make money. For example if the bounty campaign has already done or finish you will be given a reward of tokens that you may exchange so that you may have money.

From my readings from many sources, tokens are generated forms of a digital currency that are usually sold during initially coin offering (ICOs) and sometimes through airdrops. Tokens are meant to be used for undertaking a particular project. For instance a project about car sales, would use its  tokens as a mode of payment when the project is fully implemented rather than using fiat currency or any other digital currency.

The more people using the token, the more Altcoins will be. I think most people will at least hold the minimum amount to trade. The supply will also be limited because the tokens are locked for a certain period of time when you decide to trade.

Yeah exactly, you should know that the purpose of token is to give incentive and to give profit to the investors even though sometimes it can not happen because of after listing in exchange the price will dump, that's why you need to be wisely everytime.

The value of token ultimately depends on its desirability.
Anyone can post tokens on a public blockchain, so only well-designed, well-intentioned and useful tokens can preserve long-term value!
Not true, you are assuming that people are completely rational when they take decisions and anyone that has been living in the real world knows that is not the case, there have been many cases of coins that were clearly scams and that many members of the forum claimed from the very beginning that was the case and yet people keep investing in those coins because they thought they could make money.
