What is the difference between Coin and Token? (A simple but important question)

In the world of cryptocurrencies, many people confuse "coin" and "token".

Here’s the difference simply:

Coin: operates on its own blockchain, like $BTC on the Bitcoin network or $ETH on Ethereum.

Token: is created on an existing blockchain, like $SHIB and $PEPE which operate on the Ethereum network.

Why does it matter to know the difference?

Because coins are typically used as a means of payment or store of value, while tokens are used in applications, games, projects… etc.

A proper understanding helps you make smarter investment decisions!
