🧠 Lesson 3: Coin vs Token

Hello, crypto-friend! 👋

If you’re confused about the terms “coin” and “token” — let’s clarify it now! 🚀

🪙 Coin

A coin is the native currency of its blockchain.

It’s like the local currency in a country. 🇺🇸🇯🇵

🔹 Examples:

$BTC — in the Bitcoin network

$ETH — in the Ethereum network

$BNB — in Binance Smart Chain

👉 Used as money: for payments, storage, transfers.

📌 Coin = own network + money

🎟️ Token

A token is a guest on someone else's blockchain.

It doesn’t have its own network and lives, for example, on Ethereum (ERC-20).

🔹 Examples:

#USDT , #UNI , #Cake

👉 Performs special functions:

🎫 access to applications

🗳️ voting

🎮 in-game items

📌 In short:

Coins are money on their own blockchain.

Tokens are “passes” with functions on someone else's.
