Could you elaborate on the various types of
cryptocurrency units that exist in the current market? I'm particularly interested in understanding the distinctions between coins, tokens, and stablecoins. Are there any other classifications I should be aware of? Additionally, how do these units differ in terms of their purpose, value, and use cases? I'm curious to know if there are specific benefits or drawbacks associated with each type and how investors and traders typically approach them. Your insights would be greatly appreciated.
