#CreatorPad A crypto coin (or cryptocurrency coin) is a type of digital money that exists only online and uses cryptography (special math codes) to secure transactions.

Here’s a simple breakdown:

✅ Digital form of money – You can’t touch or hold it like cash; it exists on the internet.

✅ Uses blockchain technology – All transactions are recorded on a public digital ledger (blockchain) so no one can cheat or double-spend.

✅ Decentralized – Most crypto coins are not controlled by any bank or government.

✅ Can be used for payments or investment – You can use crypto to buy things (where accepted) or hold it like an asset, hoping the price will go up.

🔹 Examples of Popular Crypto Coins:

Bitcoin (BTC) – The first and most famous cryptocurrency.

Ethereum (ETH) – Known for smart contracts and decentralized apps.

BNB (Binance Coin) – Used on the Binance exchange.

Solana (SOL) – Known for fast transactions.

📌 Difference between “coin” and “token”

Coin → Has its own blockchain (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum).

Token → Built on another blockchain (e.g., Shiba Inu on Ethereum).
