Could you elaborate on the distinction between a token and a utility token in the realm of cryptocurrency and finance? I've heard these terms used interchangeably, but I'm curious to understand the nuanced differences. Is a token simply a digital representation of value, while a utility token serves a specific function or purpose within a decentralized network? What are some real-world examples of utility tokens and how do they differ from traditional tokens in terms of usage, value, and potential for appreciation? Your insights would be greatly appreciated.
