Every month, we take a look at a word in the headlines, in English, for your English. See more at\u00a0The Word of the Month<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Definition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A token<\/strong>: substitute for coins, used as a form of payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Non-Fungible Token (NFT)<\/strong>: A database record representing a digital asset, like a photo. Can be traded via blockchain like cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t confuse with:
A toke<\/strong>: a single puff of marijuana. You might need one to understand NFTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tokens in the news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This month, Sotheby\u2019s sold $17 million worth of NFTs representing digital artwork by anonymous artist Pak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, thousands of confused crypto enthusiasts are now millionaires thanks to Bitcoin and other digital tokens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another toke?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Token gestures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A token person<\/strong>: A minority person included to create the illusion of diversity. Ex: Should we maybe invite a token woman to the abortion debate?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A token of appreciation<\/strong>: A symbol of gratitude. Ex: Excellent walk, dog. Here\u2019s 0.000001 Bitcoin for you.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two sides of the same token<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cryptocurrency is<\/p>\n\n\n\n

+ indecipherable
+ decentralised
+ a middle finger to banks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– indecipherable
– unavailable as payment
– a middle finger to the environment<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One last toke for the road?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
