I'm not paying 1-4% extra out of my entire student loan and giving that to Elon Musk. And I guess the student loan organization agrees with me because they don't accept PayPal.

If they accepted Nano (cryptocurrency) it would cost 0, Nada.

The fact that every crypto fanboy has their own favorite “currency” only adds to the joke. I guess crypto is so decentralized it cant even work.

Nano has no fees for simple transactions which is why it is the best in my specific scenario. That doesn't make it my overall favorite, neither does it make me a fanboy. It just makes it the best payment method for me. Not your daddy musk service.

See if they will accept barter, and you can pay them in potatoes, or turnips, or carrots. If you buy them in a state that doesn't tax groceries you'll only have to pay for cost of transport to wherever the student loan place accepts vegetables!

Thanks for the tip, skinny penis, but the student loan place is in another country, and only cryptocurrency or visa/MasterCard lets me send anything abroad with next to no fees. Since visa didn't work, it looks like I will have to send crypto to a family member and have them make a credit card payment for me locally.

Just tell them they have to accept whatever weird thing you consider currency!

So instead you pay 1-4% in order to exchange your money to nano, and give that money to scummy crypto exchanges. Well done.

First of all, it is a flat fee, second of all it is less than a dollar.
