Ah that's very easy question. Stocks and bonds have very heavy legal framework you can lean on in many situations. It doesn't mean you can't lose - stock investors lose they money all the time - but at least some scenarios are covered. With token nothing is covered, it's basically a naked bet on issuers and their ability to deliver. I don't say never bet - adults can decide for themselves - but if you bet, do it with open eyes.
