University Business School ESMT Berlin Now Accepting Bitcoin

https://news.bitcoin.com/german-esmt-berlin-accepts-bitcoin/

What do you think about this?

Its a step forward in the growth of bitcoin and acceptance around the entire world. Previously a school in India accepted fee in terms of bitcoin. Following this such a acceptance in Business School helps bitcoin users as well helps promoting bitcoin.

Can you provide link to the school you are talking about in India that accept bitcoin payments.

Schools and universities have now started accepting payments in the forms of bitcoin which shows that they think bitcoin just like another form of currency and i will not be surprised to see bitcoin being taught as form of currency/assets just like gold and silver in school books.

I just remembered the topic. Here you can check : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1663682.0

I believe these may lead to spread awareness on bitcoin to next generations. That is really more welcoming initiatives as targeting young people might result in effective promotion. For example if  student may ask his father doubts on bitcoin even that father first time does hear the word 'bitcoins'. Still he needs to google and explain his child.   

You are right there are a lot of potential growth when spreading bitcoin with young people. In my opinion bitcoin is the digital currency and it will be more perfectly suiting to young generations.

When a school will have an announcement about bitcoin acceptance for their fees, a student will definitely ask his father "what is bitcoin". That is the first step we all look for.

I think this is a great news and a brilliant idea, implementing bitcoin to university is one of the great way to increase young generation awareness and in the future these young generation could make a better used of bitcoin and who knows maybe someday they make a better crypto currencies for all of us

Great news sir, i hope every university would accept bitcoin, :)

Germany was allowing for using bitcoin in his environment and i think it be a common thing soon and the other will try for following that.
Great forward step.
It may give other experience by using bitcoin. Interesting news.

I bet this move will appeal a lot to students who have been mining Bitcoin and now probably running alt coin rigs at home. It would be great to be able to pay your tuition and degree certification fees without having to work a normal 9-5 job, wouldn't it? Now students can focus more on their studies and also take care of the fees themselves and not be financially dependent on their parents.
Oh and Bitcoin gets more exposure and media time. That's what I call a win-win scenario.

The good news, this is also the promotion of mutually beneficial, bitcoin increasingly popular and the University are also popular. Hope the students active and also save the bitcoin so investment bitcoin can we use to study at universities that accept bitcoin. Hopefully other universities to follow.

finally another university business school accepting bitcoin and its really good news for bitcoin community like us, and i think its a new innovation from the university that make this decision. i think they realize that bitcoin is one new currency that will be growth in the future and i hope there is another university wants to accepting bitcoin. good work for University Business School ESMT Berlin.

Its actually a great news especially for people like me who are planning to go to Germany for studies. I hope more universities and institutes around the world start accepting it.

That’s a really a good step because it is inculcating the crypto currency technology among students. We know that people would be using these new types of payment solutions in next 10 years and that’s why the younger generation should take this seriously. I have heard that there is a school in Karnataka, India where they started accepting bitcoin as donations, so yes change is happening in educational sector too.

Yes it is a great news. I feel like going to study there also. But the question is, how much is the tuition? I dont think that would be cheap. But anyway this is another good news to bitcoin. Hope many schools are like this. This will give hope to all future users of bitcoin to invest and accept the beauty of bitcoin.

All i wish now is that bitcoins price will reach 10k $ each if more schools will accept bitcoin.

Are they collecting the bitcoins themselves or are they using a payment processor that instantly sends them the euro equivalent?

I guess the latter as the university has enough expenses to cover, but it would be really cool if they did the first.

The more places that accept bitcoin the better. Specially when some place formal like this accepting bitcoin means it is going mainstream and as long as they do this it will get more known and get widely accepted. Business school students already must be familiar with bitcoins still this will boost bitcoin adoptions for sure.

After such news I am sure that the world doesn't count bitcoin as some pyramid or scam. They are going to teach students how to work with bitcoin, how to make business with bitcoin and how to get success with bitcoin. I think such politic will be good to all generation and move bitcoin in mass.

Its funny because some schools doesnt understand that bitcoin is useful. Instead of teaching their student about blockchain technology. They telling the students to stay away from bitcoin. But good thing there are some schools like this understand the importance of bitcoin. Bitcoin can be an alternative payment for the fees of the student like tuition and miscellaneous. Its helpful for either school and students. Its feels good when i read something like this. Its a good sign for bitcoin.

Any news like this is positive especially when younger people are getting exposed more to Bitcoin. That is the key to Bitcoin's future. The next generations need to not be intimidated by it.

I'm also hoping that one of the top university here in our country accept Bitcoin as payment for tuition,this is a big leap for bitcoin technology because a learning institution has put confidence and trust in a crypto currency,we will see more and more in the list and soon government owned facility.

Its really good to see how people appreciate the benefits of bitcoin. Hope more and more to be follow. Bitcoin is slowly creating its way to be known. Look what bitcoin have reached now? Many people are supporting and it keeps stronger and stronger. This is the proof that bitcoin has a lot of improvement since it was created.

That is supperb way of marketing by the school. If you would like to teach or propagandise a young techy anarchocap into a neoliberalism that is the way to go. Congratulations to the school.

In other words. Beware, its a trap.

Actually im only a half serious. It might or may not be true.

Wow, that is really impressive.
That's not just a simple school, you can even make your doctoral degree there.
It's good to know that meanwhile bitcoin is going to be accepted even in the higher educated classes in a broader way.
Maybe it's a door opener for some new bright minds into the bitcoin world as well.

This is actually pretty coool

Im super curious where this can go in the future. I hope some other schools do this too
