Title: [2015-15-05] Coinbase.com Distributes Free Bitcoins to College Students
Post by: _smudger_ on May 15, 2014, 09:01:11 AM
In one of the most progressive steps to expand Bitcoin’s territory, popular Bitcoin online wallet Coinbase.com has decided to give away free bitcoins to college students. To avail this gesture, students are only required to make an account on Coinbase.com using an ‘.edu’ email address.

The news comes right after the recent announcement of two MIT students that raised $100 worth Bitcoins for the undergraduates in the campus. In their announcement, Coinbase itself has mentioned the aforementioned fundraiser to be its sole inspiration. “We were inspired by this project and hope we can contribute to the growing interest of bitcoin among college students,” it said.

Ohho... Too bad for me. My college email account expired 11 years ago (in 2003). But this is a great opportunity for the students to stack up some coins without spending any fiat. $10 equals to BTC0.023.  ;D
