With the number of different projects within the cryptocurrency space, people can get confused on how projects set themselves apart from one another. Whether a project is a coin or token, some users may not be aware that there is a difference between the two.

A coin is a digital equivalent to money where coins can be used to store value and pay for services much like physical money. Some coins are a fork of Bitcoin and are developed using Bitcoin’s open-source protocol, whereas others are created and operated on its own blockchain.

A token can be represented as an asset or utility and resides on top of another blockchain. Unlike creating a coin, a token is an easier process as it does not need any code modification or create a blockchain from scratch. Tokens follow a standard template on the blockchain — such as on the Ethereum platform — that allows people to create their own tokens.

This article will explain how Energi stands out as a cryptocurrency and how it differs from other projects that have a similar name and/or logo.

Energi — The Traditional Currency of Tomorrow

Ticker: NRG

Coin or Token: Coin

Goal and Mission: To introduce and bring cryptocurrency to the masses. We intend to do this by first creating a strong foundation– having a much larger treasury system than any other cryptocurrency currently, which will allow Energi to pay developers and contributors, and as Energi grows, the treasury budget will grow to allow for more collaboration, leading to more growth, etc, a positive feedback loop.

Our philosophy is, every dollar we reinvest into the system, will yield much more than a dollar of value back when invested appropriately with developers, the best marketing efforts, and other expenditures which expand our reach.
