Cryptocurrency Coins vs Tokens [Explained] For new people in the crypto space, it can be pretty overwhelming to understand all the nuances. Cryptocurrency coins are different from tokens, let’s talk about those differences and why they matter. https://youtu.be/xJPXDVbKpvQ https://odysee.com/@ScottCBusiness:4/crypto-coins-vs-tokens:1 This is my 512th episode/article. I put a great deal of work into this content so if you find it valuable, please do like, share, comment and subscribe! *Note that I had COVID when recording this so please forgive the potentially lower quality* Some examples are Tron with TRC20, Ethereum with ERC20, and Binance with BEP20 tokens. There are many chains that have their own tokens as well such as Hive, Solana, Polkadot, Avalanche, and more. The main thing to consider is that when you are using the ecosystems of these blockchains and want to trade between tokens, you can only do that within each ecosystem. So, you can only trade ERC20 tokens for other ERC20 tokens or Ethereum on a “decentralized” exchange like Uniswap. Thorswap offers you the ability to trade across chains like from Bitcoin to Ethereum, but that was covered here: https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@scottcbusiness/ybrwvnta https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_thz6aVGxI To some degree, it could make more sense to just invest in the underlying asset. For example, if you invest in Ethereum, you would have seen a massive jump in value when Shiba Inu blew up in hype (which is now worth only 28% of its all-time high). Also, remember that you are generally stuck within that ecosystem and subject to its features and drawbacks. For example, using any ERC20 tokens costs Ethereum gas fees which have been very high for some time. Also, note that projects can distribute tokens across multiple chains. For example, you can get USDT on many chains: https://tether.to/en/transparency/. You can see on that site that they have issued huge amounts of USDT across Ethereum, Tron, Algorand, EOS, Solana, Avalanche, and more. I don’t at all support Tether, by the way, it’s extremely centralized. What are your thoughts on cryptocurrency coins vs tokens? Did this explanation help? Where do you like to trade?

If I get the explanation right, a coin is like the main tree while the token is like a branch or off shoot? By the way, I hope you're COVID free.
Exactly, but not all coins have tokens
@M3i said it the way I wanted to. I think it would be a little difficult for newcomers to understand if you could give a little more analysis and examples. Anyway, I understand this.
This topic is so timely my friend. I'm still confused about the two, really. Although I'm already a couple of months old in learning the crypto world, it's still so hard for me to instill these points in mind, but I love how you were able to explain it in detail.
Thanks mah friend ☺️ it really help understanding. I have been self learning about cropto world.
I I didn't get it in my first read. I've to read it more carefully but lemme first show my gratitude for your effort. Thanks sir. I'm novice in the world of cryptocurrency that's why I'm gathering material related to crypto and working on it..
Agradecido amigo, por su dedicación para explicarnos esta nueva forma de hacer dinero, hay que seguir buscando más información con respecto a las cripto, pero me parece fabuloso lo que dices.
