Curated Content for Crypto Newbies: Cryptocurrency: Tokens vs Coins

New to cryptocurrency and trying to learn?  So am I.  

I started learning about cryptocurrency in 2017. My intro to crypto was unintentional.  I joined a forum that used a virtual currency and had a faucet.  That started me looking for other faucets.  I stumbled upon several free faucets.  What got me excited was that I could earn cryptocurrency for performing small tasks like participating in surveys and then trade them for cash (USD) with friends who like to buy crypto. This is truly peer-to-peer transactions.

Along the way I learned about tokens. It was accidental. I was searching for more ways to earn crypto coins and created an account on a platform that rewarded me in tokens. It turned out I had the option of converting the tokens into Cryptocurrency or Gift Cards. I opted for the crypto coins so I could keep trading them with my friends for fiat currency (USD).

Do you want to know the difference between crypto coins versus tokens?  Here is an excellent article published by crypto.com.

Crypto Tokens vs Coins — What’s the Difference?

In my mind, even though there is a slight difference between the two, I am very glad they both exist. So we now have cryptonomics and tokenomics. It's all good.  

MoneyMint is a Reliable Business Source and Resource

Bitcoin was launched in 2009 but I did not discover cryptocurrency until 2017.  Since then I have search high and low for any information about Bitcoin, other altcoins, blockchain technology and anything that is related to cryptocurrency.  When I find a reliable resource, I share because many of my family and friends are also learning about cryptocurrency and investing.  One question that is often asked is:  Can I earn bitcoins without investing my own money?  The answer is YES.

Moneymint.com was started in the year 2008 and has become one of India's leading blogs on financial inclusion, microfinance, and digital money.  Here is an excellent article that answers the question in detail.

Having Fun At Read.Cash and Noise.Cash ~ Learning and Earning!

Have you heard of Noise.Cash?  It's a fun social site where you can socialize, learn, and earn Bitcoin Cash.  It is the partner site for Read.Cash.  Both sites are fairly new.  Read.Cash was launched in 2019 and the following year, 2020, Noise.Cash was launched.  If you like publishing short posts (just like you do on Twitter) then you'll probably like Noise.Cash.  If you're an artist or photographer, blogger, article writer, both sites are terrific for sharing your work.  In other words, you can publish short posts, share images, or write detailed articles.  The platform is very easy to use and you can start immediately!

First question you might ask:

• But if you are already on Twitter, why bother with Noise.Cash?  Because you can earn Bitcoin Cash for your content; even if it's just your opinion.  What do you earn for your tweets?

Second question you might ask:

• What's Bitcoin Cash?  The answer is ... it's complicated.  But the bottom line is that it's a form of cryptocurrency that you can earn, save or trade, or use to buy goods and services.  If you sign up and create an account at both sites ... Read.Cash and Noise.Cash, you will learn a lot more about it.  That's what I did!

My recommendation?

Create an account at Read.Cash first.  Take a look at my RC profile.

When you create your account you'll see a banner at the top of the page suggesting that you also join Noise.Cash.  I suggest you click on it.  Take a look at my NC profile.

If you are curious to know more, check out the FAQ at Read.Cash.  They explain it much better than I do.  All I can say is that I've been there for less than a year and I have plans to stay!
