Topic: Token? vs Coin? (Read 280 times)
In definition, coins are cryptocurrencies that have their own blockchain and having their own materials in order to exist in the crypto space. Meanwhile tokens are cryptocurrencies that used other blockchains and don't have their own materials like wallet and hash.
These days, i am looking at Digifinex which does a lot of airdrop promotion.
But among several projects, BPX Token caught my attention because it is the only one with "Token"
So what does it mean by "Token?" Other coins do not have that term though...
Token Meaning - token is created in smartcontract like erhereum and waves platform. And also tokens don't have it's own blockchain. But among several projects, BPX Token caught my attention because it is the only one with "Token"

That's why this is called token, and also coins have blockchain so that this is called coins.
And also like others says token is the easiest ways for scammers to create fake ico project. Because this is easy to create and scammers don't need enough money to run this illegal activities.
Tokens are not reliable because scammers use them the most, coins are better because they are more demanding to build, tokens are mostly erc20 from ETH blockchain, I think coins are more reliable, too many shitcoins of crypto space are tokens
tokens is also a kind of coin . tokens are more indemand than a normal crypto coin because they are easier to be made and less costy .
indemand also because scamers uses them aside from those who uses it as pump and dump type of business . normal crypto coins are reliable because they are more stable and less risky . the winner would be coin for me .

What you should be looking is a token that have decent value thus an active trading even though this is just an airdrop. Though that's very rare now.Quote

Let's put it simple,coin - has its own blockchain
token - using the other blockchain eg. ethereum smart contract and many altcoins are ethereum based token.

Okay, the difference is if the coin has its own blockchain or can be called by building its own mainnet, and on some of these coin platforms you can build tokens, like ETH with ERC20 or TRON with TRC10 / TRC20, and many more. Tokens are generally made as adoptions such as a platform for buying and selling goods, exchange tokens, and many more. If the coins themselves focus more on technology and solutions / innovations, such as privacy coins on Monero, or transfer speeds on NANO coins. but it can be concluded easily, i.e. other than Bitcoin can be said as Altcoin (both Tokens / coins).
There are differences in peoples perspective towards coin and token but in real crypto use, they are the same.
Initially, mined digital values on blockchain were called coins. And anything working on the blockchain of another coin were called tokens.
But now this definition won't fulfill as many of previous tokens have turned into a coin, a hybrid or a coin changed to token.

Some great example of this are the ERC-20 tokens from the smartcontract by ethereum created by Vitalik. With this, they are using the same cryptographic scheme and blockchain to support easier transaction and exchange of the tokens. In terms of coins, these are the cryptocurrencies that we mainly see independent of the blockchain of another cryptocurrency such as bitcoin, EOS, and many other more that build up the development of the entire cryptocurrency space.

Agree with what you say. Basically, coins and tokens are the same thing in crypto, which certainly distinguishes the two is the network. If coins usually have their own blockchain network, it is different from tokens that still depend on ethereum blockchain, for example. But I don't mind this, as long as the token or coin is good for me. Then I will still have.
Somehow it is more off a gimick than other thing imo
Perhaps one could think that "coin" are more official and its something like fiat
"Token" are more digital and it doesn't have the same elements like "coin"
Anyhow it really doesn't matter, it is just more off what does people prefer

bispex token BPX itself is built under the ethereum smart contract network ,various smart contract blockchain platforms like ethereum there are many mate you can explore including eos neo waves and others ,the difference between tokens and coin is quite clearly explained by friends community above
That's why the developer if the bispex called it as a token caused by bitspex is building on under ethereum platform as the main blockchain. I think it's very easy to understand and some people above me have already provided the meaning of the coin and what's the differences of coin with token.
Token is an asset which can be considered as security at the same time as it doesn't have utility. It's really simple how to understand the definition of the token or asset.
coin is far better than asset but it backs again on the usability.

There are many types of token already in the market not only BPX.

I've searched a bit about BPX token and I've seen that it's explorer is on etherscan.io so which means that it's running on Ethereum's network/chain which makes it eligible to be called as a token.
Why do most investors choose coins to invest compared to tokens because tokens are still below the coins and most tokens become shitcoin.
And the difference in tokens is only using the ethereum blockchain and it's still under Ethereum so I like coins compared to tokens.
Not only Ethereum chain but also other coins chain such as BNB, TRX, EOS and other chains that can be used depending on the choice of the developer. It became a popular choice for most altcoins to choose coins rather than tokens but it's not the case most of the time. And the difference in tokens is only using the ethereum blockchain and it's still under Ethereum so I like coins compared to tokens.
a token is a cryptocurrency digital currency that is bound to a contract on a particular coin because they do not have their own blockchain system but when the tokens have a very good development they will build their own blockchain then they will replace their coin algorithm usually with swap tokens
tokens are usually centered on the blockchain on coins like ETH, TRX, EOS, XLM and what I just know is tomochain, they are centered on that coin, but if Altcoin is a coin that is independent of the blockchain itself, I'm usually more interested in coins that use the blockchain itself is better than tokens, tokens are easy to make and can be distributed for free maybe digifinex is promoting a token that will be listed there
what I know is that the token is under the coin. so altcoin consists of large coins such as etherum, litecoin, ripple, doge, xlm, while tokens also include altcoin but still below the coin. call it tokens use smart contract coins such as etherum, waves, xlm, and many more.

I took the reference from this site: https://digitalis.id/blog/perbarison-coin-vs-token-cryptocurrency-and-relations-with-blockchain/
To put it simply, it doesn't have any actual value yet. Most of them are not in any exchange sites and personally, i think it's a gamble if you get yourself paid in tokens for bounties and services that you offer. Though it's likelier that these tokens would have higher spikes and amount movement once they get in on an exchange site compared to coins that already have value. Again as i've said, i think it's a gamble.

well. if you compare them according to price potential? tokens are mostly based on ethereum blockchain and they are mostly erc20 tokens. there are some of them with good potential and can raise up because of its usages.
Tokens are usually pegged to some FIAT currency (like USDT) or they are start-up shares.
The most famous FIAT/asset-backed token is USDT (tether) is being issued by bitfinex. As you guessed the token is only as good as its issuer. So you have to trust bitfinex and cannot really know if the USDT token they release is actually backed by something.
If you'd ask me my own thoughs, I'd say stay away from tokens as much as possible. It is because they require trust to work. Tether comes in handy in various situations, I can't deny but I wouldn't hold it for long.

Indeed tokens and coins have different performance which I know tokens are widely used in their projects that are built from the ethereum blockchain network "erc20" and that is easy to make for a project or you want to make your own tokens.
Whereas coins have their own blockhains and I don't yet understand how to make their own wallets and those crypto experts do.

In cryptocurrency, coin means a native asset of the parent blockchain that runs on its own blockchain.
what is diffrent between token & coin?
Token is cryptocurrency is running with coin chain like ethereum chain, Waves chain , Trx chain and much more chain that allow you to issued any new currencies without coding the genesis hash
that crypto who running on coin chain platform, people call it token
While coin is when Cryptocurrencies that having own explorer & wallet , and genesis hash,
there is many type of coin and one of them are PoW ( Proof of Work ) & Pos ( Proof of take)

In numismatics, token coins or trade tokens are coin-like objects used instead of coins. The field of token coins is part of exonumia and token coins are token money. Tokens have a denomination either shown or implied by size, color or shape. "Tokens" are often made of cheaper metals: copper, pewter, aluminium, brass and tin were commonly used, while bakelite, leather, porcelain, and other less durable materials are also known.[citation needed]
A key point of difference between a token coin and a legal tender coin is that the latter is issued by a governmental authority and is freely exchangeable for goods. However, a token coin typically has a much more limited use and is often issued by a private company, group, association or individual. In the case of "currency tokens" issued by a company but also recognized by the state there is a convergence between tokens and currency.[citation needed]
