Just to extend your knowledge. Token is more wider notion than coin. Every coin is a token but not every token is a coin. Things depend on implication of the balance on the concrete address in blockchain. So MNX can be refered to either as token or coin.
Coins are digital assets that operate solely as currencies, and they reside on their own blockchain.
Tokens represent assets or utilities that are fungible and tradable, and they exist on top of a blockchain.
This is a coin because it is a currency. That is its whole premise, being a low volatility currency. If they create their market place and allow businesses to operate on their blockchain, then those businesses will likely be able to create their own tokens for use on top of the MNX blockchain.
Unless Minex opens up its platform in such a way to allow tokenizing real world assets through them directly, then Minexcoin itself will probably never actually be/operate as a token.
Bravo. I'm happy to see someone who knows where is difference between coin and token.
