Seriously. Know the difference between a coin and a token.

Coin and token are not interchangeable and it peeves me off when they call Bitcoin a token.

Coins are crypto originating from their native blockchain, those that are created from the start as blockchains are given birth. Tokens are crypto built on top of a blockchain with smart contracts enabled.

BTC, ETH, BNB are coins, for example. Tokens are stuff like USDC, UNI, AAVE, which are ERC-20 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain.
