Deposit
A deposit is one thing — getting money or coins into Gate — but there are several roads to it: buy directly with a card, trade with a real person via C2C, move coins you already hold over the network, or, in some regions, use a fiat channel. Each road differs on speed, cost and threshold; the fast one isn't always the cheap one, and the cheap one isn't always the simple one. The pieces below line them up side by side so you can see which suits whom, and where the pitfalls are.
