So after reading that article explaining what a coin actually is in the crypto space, I finally get why people make a big deal about coins running on their own native blockchain instead of relying on another network like tokens do. It made everything click for me in a way that wasn’t super technical or overwhelming. Now I’m wondering — how much does that independence really change the long-term value or reliability of a coin compared to a token, and does it affect how investors should look at them when building a portfolio?
