Tokens are actually mostly not shares. You dont own the company that issues the tokens. Everybody likes to think that it is, though.

The term "shares" is used here in loose sense, all these are coins/tokens .

All these companies behind this coins/tokens have no "paid" employee or assets and no legal registration ( for the coin itself) so there is no meaning to "shares" . There is nothing for ownership rights in the sense of share .

There are a few, like Modum, that are really nothing but unregulated shares. Most of them are unregulated less-than-shares.
