Title: [2014-09-05] MIT Bookstore Accepts Bitcoin Payments as Campus Interest Grow Post by: ganabb on September 05, 2014, 07:44:54 AM http://www.coindesk.com/mit-bookstore-accepts-bitcoin/
The MIT COOP bookstore, a retail store serving the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), is now accepting bitcoin for t-shirts, textbooks, school supplies and more. The news comes amid increasing interest in bitcoin at the university and ahead of a scheduled ‘airdrop’ of $500,000 in bitcoin to MIT undergraduates. The project, which will provide $100 to every MIT student, is scheduled to take place sometime later this fall. |
