Could you elaborate on the concept of a token in the cryptocurrency and finance world? Specifically, I'm interested in understanding what a token represents, its function within a blockchain ecosystem, and how it operates. I've heard terms like utility tokens, security tokens, and more, but I'm looking for a general overview of the concept and its applications. How does a token differ from a traditional currency or security? And what are some of the key factors to consider when evaluating a token's value or potential? Thank you for your insights.
