  Comments:
Strictly speaking, I think cryptocurrencies are a subset 
of virtual currencies, but in English usage the word 
"virtual currency" is hardly ever used in conjunction 
with currencies like Bitcoin while in Japanese, the term 
暗号通貨 is hardly ever used - so from a translator's 
perspective, "cryptocurrency" would be the more 
appropriate translation.
