Would love to see this expanded to other countries by others.
Maybe this is finally something the bitcoin foundation can look at. They are in need of something useful to do. Peace.

Would love to see this expanded to other countries by others. So far, it has cost the Coinbase more than $200,000. Not a big amount for them, as their market cap is expected to be over $100 million. Also, it is very heartening to note that the largest number of users have come from some of the best Universities, such as the University of Michigan, University of California, and the University of Illinois. ;D Title: Re: [2014-05-29] 20,000 college students set up a BTC wallet in 2 weeks Post by: LiteCoinGuy on May 30, 2014, 06:05:23 PM also here:
