This was a little difficult with some terms you found but made me understand better what a token is and that it can has legal status too although regulations in all countries do not treat tokens different from coins. Very good explanation though and thank you very much for this great post you made.

I think there are some different between the tokens and coin. But the tokens may be performed at the good exchange level. And there are more opportunities to earn. But the coin like Bitcoin is also a good . Also yobit investbox is the key for traders and the investors. But it's value is un stable . Now a days it's market is low due to covid_19 . But soon it will flourish.

I think that you're using the wrong analogy for explaining and comparing token and coins. Based on what other said here in this thread, we can say that Bitcoin is the coin and BitcoinCash, BitcoinBlack, BitcoinGold, and more are tokens. Forks of a coin are what the tokens are.

Just like every cryptocurrency have coins so tokens are also some kind of coins which runs on some other blockchain it doesn't have it's own block chain.

Let me correct you. In context of cryptocurrecies, tokens are nothing like coins. They are build top of other coins that have their own blockchains like ETH and result is that tokens don't have their own blockchains, they are just using in the same ecosystem (or blockchain) they were issued in.

For my own words, they called it token at first because this is just newly released, and afterwards when this token will be released and many people are now being supporting it, it may be called as a coin, example of this is the talk token, at first it called a token but when this token released, it may called as a coin.

You are correct tokens are not coins but they are build on top of other coin but they used thesame ecosystem as other coin .

Very informative post and I thank you for the deep knowledge you offered. I loved the example and this made me understand something more although I've never been to a casino as these are for older people. I'm loving the forum for this knowledge that it offers and I'm very happy to learn so much in such a short time span. I think that the learning curve is long but very steep so we are going to become from beginners to experts in a few months. The coin for what I see it has a blockchain and the token does not, but I've also read in another post that tokens can become coins too! I have this question though, can a coin become a token?

token is that a coin has its own blockchain, while a token doesn't. Another thing to note is that coins usually are used for 1 thing (payments), while tokens have various use cases, which can include payments but also other things.

A token can be used in a website too or be a game token that fuels a game economy just like the WoW gold or Steam dollars. These are tokens too but can only be traded inside the platforms. We have tokens that can be traded anywhere not only inside a casino. The tokens we have can be used anywhere and traded with our wallets or in exchanges.

Well I was thinking that to have a crypto of my own. Then I was searching in in cryptotalk about how to have a crypto of my own. And I learned that token do not have a blockchain of it's own. It is listed on others block chain. Ethereum, Bitcoin have it's own blockchain. Talk is a token. So cryptotalk is giving both coin and token. Many faucet websites have it's own token.

What is a token
‍A token is a physical or digital object that has value in a certain context or for a certain community, although its own materiality does not contain that value in itself.

Casino chips, for example, are just different colored pieces of plastic, but they represent amounts of money. Some, up to millions of dollars, although one of them costs only pennies to manufacture.

That's what tokens do: they represent something else, they are in place. Why? There are many reasons: comfort, safety, ease of transporting or transferring them.

In the crypto world, tokens are generated from pieces of programming code, in the form of smart contracts that run on the blockchain. The smart contract describes how each token works. The database keeps track of how many each person has. And users can send them to each other as a way to transfer value.

Totally in accordance with your definition, friend, the difference between cryptocurrency and token is very clear and that is that the token has been a token with no legal tender value but with a value from where it was created.

Tokens have no legal value but they can be used to earn online currency if they have demand during trade it means that they have their value only on a specific forum that too if people are interested in purchasing them

Tokens are digital assets that can be used within the ecosystem of a given project. The difference between tokens and cryptocurrencies is that the former require another (non-own) blockchain platform to work.

    • Итак. Вы решили подключить на свой сайт платежку и столкнулись с вопросом: какие бывают платежные шлюзы?   Все платежные решения можно разделить на 4 категории. Первые 2 категории достаточно трудны в реализации и их использование может вызвать лишь дополнительные проблемы, но проигнорировать их мы не можем:   Собственная платежная система   Это, пожалуй, самое трудно в реализации решение. Без своей команды разработчиков, которые создадут и будут поддерживать платежную систему, не обойтись. При этом придется разобраться в огромном количестве тонкостей этой сферы. На выходе, попытка сэкономить на комиссии готовых решений обернется еще большими расходами и потерей времени. Подойдет, пожалуй, только для очень крупных компаний со своим штатом разработчиков.       Платежный шлюз от местного банка   Крупные компании, работающие в одном регионе могут смело подключать шлюзы от банков. Если же компания работает в нескольких регионах, такое решение будет не лучшим, так как для каждого региона придется подключать отдельный банк, а это накладно и с точки зрения разработки и с точки зрения времени, потраченного на сбор документов и открытие компаний в каждой стране присутствия.     А вот оставшиеся два варианта – это то, чем пользуются компании из разных стран и работающие в разных направлениях: от сервисов по приему СМС и продаже цифровых товаров, до крупных Gambling и Betting-компаний, которым нужно быстро и четко обрабатывать платежи из разных стран.     Внешний шлюз   Отличное решение для компаний, которые работают в нескольких регионах, либо по какой-то другой причине не могут, или не хотят подключать шлюз от банков. Именно это решение в последние годы использует большинство представителей мелкого, среднего и даже крупного бизнеса. Оно наиболее простое и подключить такое решение можно в считанные дни.       Встроенный по API шлюз   Второе по популярности решение. Оно смотрится максимально органично для покупателя, ведь все действия будут происходить в рамках одного сайта, без лишних редиректов. Но в данном решении продавцу придется самостоятельно разработать страницу для приема платежей, подключить обработку платежей через API платежного сервиса, а также позаботиться о сохранности платежных данных, если они будут собираться в рамках выбранного платежного метода.     Кстати, оба варианта доступны в процессинговом сервисе MoneyGate.

    • CryptoNews of the Week     – The Republican candidate for the upcoming US elections, Donald Trump, has declared his intention to become the "cryptocurrency president." Speaking in San Francisco, he presented himself as a defender of digital assets and criticized Democrats' attempts to regulate the industry. According to Reuters, Trump raised $12 million for his campaign at an event for venture capitalists from Silicon Valley, organized by Chamath Palihapitiya and David Sacks at Sacks' mansion in the Pacific Heights area. Media reports indicate that executives from the crypto exchange Coinbase, the founders of the Gemini trading platform, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, and other industry representatives were present at the event. Intercom CEO Eoghan McCabe shared on X about his participation: "I spoke with six people there. None identified as Republicans. All had voted for or donated to Democrats in the past. Now they support this guy [Trump] for his policies on war, immigration, cryptocurrency, and more. These elections are a referendum on these issues."   – The attitude towards cryptocurrencies will be a key difference between the candidates for the US presidency, Donald Trump and Joe Biden, though neither understands the topic. Billionaire Mark Cuban stated this: "Do you really think [Trump] understands anything about cryptography beyond making money from selling NFTs? Neither candidate understands. But I've often said that Biden will have to choose between [SEC Chairman] Gary Gensler and crypto voters, or it could cost him the White House."  Discussing the upcoming elections on X, ASI crypto-lawyer Preston Byrne noted that Trump's crypto policy is "actually very substantial and well thought out, while Biden's approach is insane and punitive."   – The "Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025" was submitted to the US Senate on 3 June 2024. On 5 June, Senator Mark Warner's strategic amendment to this bill was published on the social network X, granting the US president new broad powers. This allows the president to "prohibit any transactions between any person under US jurisdiction and foreign intermediaries in digital asset transactions."  Financial lawyer Scott Johnsson criticized the law due to its wide scope. He sees it as an attempt to control digital assets under the guise of fighting terrorism, as the amendments added by Warner are borrowed from the Anti-Terrorism Financing Act.   – Late in the evening (CET) on 12 June, the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) of the US Federal Reserve will decide on the dollar interest rate. Historically, such decisions have always significantly impacted bitcoin's price. In this regard, ChatGPT-4o AI was tasked with forecasting BTC's price based on technical analysis and financial analysts' assumptions.  According to the AI, bitcoin will trade in the $68,000-73,000 range. However, a rate cut or hints of an upcoming reduction could push BTC beyond this range. In this unlikely economic scenario, ChatGPT-4o predicts the leading cryptocurrency will trade between $73,000 and $75,000 or higher.   – Over the past few days, the crypto market leader has lost nearly 10% in value. Many experts believe this is due to investors' concerns that US inflation will remain high for a long time. Under such conditions, a quick easing of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy is unlikely. Enthusiasm was also dampened by the fact that spot bitcoin ETFs broke a 19-day streak of investment inflows. On 11 June alone, industry funds lost nearly $65 million. MN Capital founder and analyst Michaël van de Poppe noted that investors are acting more cautiously ahead of the FOMC meeting on 12 June. He does not rule out that seller pressure will persist in the near term. Under such conditions, bitcoin could correct to $65,000. However, van de Poppe does not expect a deep price drop, as significant liquidity is concentrated around the $60,000 mark, indicating strong support, and positive dynamics could be supported by geopolitical instability.   – Traders note that "digital gold" has recently been trading within a narrow range of $66,000 to $72,000. One popular market participant considers the lower boundary an ideal entry point, while entry at the upper boundary carries high risk.  Despite recommended caution, over 70% of the crypto community participants in several surveys believe BTC is on the verge of continued growth. For example, a trader nicknamed Captain Faibik is confident that bitcoin is preparing to break out of the "expanding wedge" technical analysis pattern. Breaking above its upper boundary, in his opinion, will open the way for the cryptocurrency to rise above $94,000. Trader Titan of Crypto, in turn, expects bitcoin to reach $100,000 this summer.  Community participants also point to the activity of large investors as a sign of BTC's growth potential. Whales, according to crypto industry representatives, are actively taking long positions in bitcoin. Cryptoquant CEO Ki Young Ju noted that the $69,000 level has become particularly attractive for large investors.   – By the end of 2024, the first cryptocurrency will be worth between $125,000 and $135,000, according to BitGo CEO Mike Belshe. He believes that one of the catalysts for bitcoin's growth will be the high level of US national debt. "Our macroeconomic climate continues to confirm the necessity of bitcoin. Without a doubt, the US national debt is out of control. […] This situation supports the idea that bitcoin is the gold of the new generation," Belshe said.  He also noted that the US dollar is losing its position as the world's reserve currency due to US foreign policy. The BitGo CEO believes that the country uses the dollar as a weapon and a tool for manipulation. "Thus, the US national debt crisis is one thing, foreign policy and sanctions control is another. And BRICS is providing alternative payment systems. […] This is the story of why bitcoin exists," he concluded.   – The new Binance CEO Richard Teng, who succeeded Changpeng Zhao, believes that bitcoin will soon exceed $80,000. Teng associates the potential new high with the launch of spot BTC-ETFs traded on stock exchanges. This has strengthened trust in the asset, and retail traders and institutions no longer perceive it as risky. The Binance CEO also suggests that cryptocurrency legalization is possible if Donald Trump is elected president of the United States. Declaring himself a "crypto president," Trump stated in May that the US should lead the global crypto industry.   – The self-proclaimed first resident of Bitcoin City, American Corbin Keegan, left El Salvador without seeing his dream city begin to take shape. In November 2021, El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele announced plans to establish a crypto settlement. Upon hearing this news, Keegan left Chicago and headed to the South American country to become Bitcoin City's first resident. However, his patience eventually ran out, and he returned home.  The project's implementation was likely frozen due to a lack of funding. Bukele wanted to raise the necessary funds through the sale of "Volcano Bonds." These securities were planned for release in Q1 this year, but for various reasons, they did not see the light of day.

    • Cardano Node 9.0 будет запущен в июне и подготовит платформу к форку Chang   Cardano Node 9.0 будет запущен в июне. Это обновление подготовит платформу блокчейна к долгожданному форку Chang. Основатель Cardano Чарльз Хоскинсон сообщил об этом событии на X. Хоскинсон отметил, что хардфорк может произойти после того, как 70% операторов стейкингового пула (SPO) установят новый узел. Это приведет Cardano в эпоху Вольтера, ознаменовав состояние полной децентрализации — огромную веху для сети и всей индустрии блокчейнов. Хоскинсон назвал это самым значимым событием в истории Cardano.   Хоскинсон описал путь развития за последнее десятилетие, заявив, что создание Cardano было похоже на строительство нации. Он выразил гордость за сообщество и оптимизм на будущее. Хоскинсон считает, что Cardano дает надежду отрасли и всему миру, и призвал всех оказать значительное влияние в следующем десятилетии. Три дня назад основатель прокомментировал несоответствие между восприятием СМИ и реальным прогрессом Cardano. Он раскритиковал криптовалютные СМИ за непризнание достижений Cardano.
