Welcome to Day 4 of the 90-Day Crypto Learning Challenge 🚀
We’re still at the beginning — and that’s the best place to be.
On Day 1, we introduced the challenge itself and shared what you’ll learn each week.
On Day 2, we talked about crypto at a basic level.
On Day 3, we explained how blockchain works in a simple way.
Today, we’re clearing up another beginner confusion:
👉 Coins vs Tokens
They sound the same — but they are not.
Let’s keep it simple.
---
What Is a Coin?
A coin is a cryptocurrency that has its own blockchain.
Think of a blockchain like a road.
A coin:
Builds its own road
Runs on its own network
Examples of coins:
Bitcoin (BTC)
Ethereum (ETH)
BNB
Coins are mainly used to:
Send value
Pay network fees
Keep the blockchain running
📌 Easy rule:
If it has its own blockchain, it’s a coin.
---
What Is a Token?
A token does not have its own blockchain.
Instead, tokens are built on existing blockchains.
Using the road example again:
Tokens don’t build a road
They use an existing one
Examples of tokens:
USDT
UNI
SHIB
Tokens are commonly used for:
Apps and projects
Stablecoins
Rewards and governance
📌 Easy rule:
If it runs on another blockchain, it’s a token.

Why This Matters for Beginners
Not all crypto assets work the same way.
Knowing the difference helps you:
Understand what you’re holding
Avoid beginner confusion
Learn crypto with confidence
This is basic knowledge, but it’s very important.

Final Takeaway
> Coins have their own blockchains.
Tokens are built on existing ones.
Not all crypto assets are the same.
If this was clear, you’re learning the right way.
