This School Accepts Bitcoin !

[yayayo]

Although it's just a very small step it's one in the right direction and highly encouraging. The school seems to be one for the upper class. So I think there was already demand for adding this kind of payment option from the "educated elite".

This fits well to my assessment that India will be the emerging nation that will see the most rapid Bitcoin adoption. The more liberal governance and the official encouragement to use modern technologies as well as efforts to improve the technological infrastructure will be beneficial. Even though China shows increasing Bitcoin adoption as well, it still remains a more or less gray market. I'm pretty sure that India will soon outmatch China in terms of user base.

ya.ya.yo!

Dharwad International School in Karnataka is the first school offering a facility of Bitcoins for their annual fees. The population of 1.25 billion, is set to overtake China’s by 2022 – and India’s remittance industry is calculated at a massive $50-70 billion. Experts are touting India as home of the next Bitcoin boom.

Didn't know that earlier, do other schools also accept bitcoins ?

Back in the day I think lunch line deposits could be made in BTC virtually at my original school. Not sure if the provider offers this, but in truth try getting a Bitcoin debit card and seap through that way if payments are able to be made with one.

one good step to promote bitcoin. sometimes I just hear some shops accepting bitcoin as payment, but now a scool accept bitcoin as payment. what a great idea!

if this keeps running, it's not impossible that mass adoption will increase in Karnataka.

[cellard]

It's cool that school accepts bitcoin, but what do they buy with it? it's for parents to buy the books? what's the point tho? a kid should be in school to learn, not to buy things.

[springgers]

Hope they can teach about Bitcoin and Blockchain in this school(s) too so kids can make great things with it.

Really amazing to see an school that accept Bitcoin :O

[calkob]

That is a great idea, finally a school that is giving their pupils something that is actually worth while other than an education of course

[LiberOptions]

Wow. This is great News. However, since they already accept Bitcoin, shouldn´t they also offer a crash course on Digital Currency for newbies?

[tyz]

Well, it is not the first school or university which accepts Bitcoin for paying the fees or tuition.
The King's College in New York is accepting Bitcoin for paying tution. Also the Cumbria University and some others. Find them on Google by search for "unversity tuition bitcoin".

[staceyoh]

That's great news.
It is a big help to the student
and parents.

Following this schools many schools will start to accept bitcoin ant at time there will be many organizations that will accept bitcoin

[isen]

Even though I don't know how popular is Bitcoin in India atm (it seems that it has a good potential and growing) these are definitely good news for the Bitcoin users there.What's next?offering lessons about Blockchain and digital currencies?That would be awesome,if I am not mistaken there is a university in Cyprus that does it already.

[ipanks]

glad to hear that and i hope many school will accept bitcoin too and this could be good step for bitcoin itself. with many spread news about bitcoin will give a good impact for bitcoin and more people will use bitcoin in future.

[asuryan180]

That's great,I really think that schools schould be more responsive to BTC and show an example of how useful actually BTC can be so more people stary paying attention to it.The more examples like this we have,the easier it will be for BTC to grow its market.

[David Walters]

Wow that's really cool, great news. go India

[mace15]

This is a great news, school accepts bitcoin. This is the
start that bitcoin is becoming well known like schools.
And, many people will become interested on what's in
bitcoin, how it will help the aspects of life.
