One question
we want to give tokens/coins to people who get people to sign up. Would this be better to create a coin or token?
It's like an airdrop, yes its a give away so people would love it.
Well we have almost 30,000 new members in the past 6 months so we can market to them to get going. One question is this, would it make more sense to do a coin vs a token. Coins seems easier for newbies to crypto to use as there is no gas needed
Go for a coin if you thinkyou can do it. Since you already have the community, it would be easier for you to apply that. But much better if there will be more and better use case.
