It's not the same thing. I would define according to my experience on how I was able to use it in different ways. A token or tokens are what you get after joining a campaign regardless of what kind it is. You will receive right after the end of the project but still the amount would depend on how successful the project is. Cryptocurrency can be used in many transctions unlike with tokens, it has a specific use like for example in gaming. You can sell your token when it has a high value to convert it into cryptocurrency.
