What is crypto?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cryptocurrency, or \u201ccrypto\u201d for short, is a digital or virtual currency that is generally not issued by any central or governing authority. It has been steadily growing in popularity since its inception and comes with many advantages. It is easier to transfer funds between parties, it removes third parties and third-party fees, and it is faster than standard money transfers. It is also more accessible, secure, private, transparent, and can protect against inflation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go! Go! Nihon is partnering with CoinGate<\/a> to create a more seamless money transfer experience for you. Depending on the country you\u2019re from, you may encounter international fees with traditional methods of payment \u2014 but with crypto, you can avoid those extra fees. And CoinGate is one of the best systems to work with, as they streamline all of your crypto operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the benefits of using crypto?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Crypto can be a cheaper alternative<\/strong> to traditional forms of payment, as transfer fees are usually significantly lower. For students from countries with stricter banking laws, crypto can help you streamline your payments<\/strong>. The CoinGate system provides instant confirmation<\/strong>, so you know immediately where your funds are. In total, crypto transactions are speedy, cheap, secure, and seamless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
