This School Accepts Bitcoin !

[naidray]

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

India is doing great with bitcoins regardless of their strict RBI regulations. But compared to Indonesia, India has less number of bitcoin adopting users and merchants. Indians have very strict policies for using PayPal, maybe this type of restrictions from their government may push them to adopt bitcoin more rapidly in mass.

Truly a good news indeed. But ain't it the wallet site who will be accepting the bitcoin and they will exchange to cash for the school? So they are using the school to get more users?

It is actually very nice that even schools starts to accept them, at this moment there are no schools in my country that accepts bitcoins, but i hope this will change in future

[Rude Boy]

Its really interesting   that a school accepts bitcoin in INDIA and i'm proud of it! Even i'm working at Karnataka. But unfortunately, i'm on the other side of Karnataka.

I think, Even more Indian peoples starts using bitcoin very soon!

Well i live in Cyprus and the Univercity of Nicosia was the first ever university to accept student fees payable in bitcoin and they even do a crypto currency course I saw as well. I think it's a clever move myself for schools and colleges, universities to accept Bitcoin.

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 ?

Bitcoin has to be adopted in India.It`s a huge market and it`s growing.

This is good news.I`ve never heard about a school that accepts bitcoin anywhere in the world.

Its really  great to  hear this  kind  of   news  which  really indicates  the  adoption of bitcoin is  rapidly increasing   throughout  the   world and this would really give  good  impact on  bitcoins  ecosystem. If this  thing  would continue  for sure  it would  also affects  bitcoins price since adoption is increasing expected the price would  also  increase.

[TastyChillySauce00]

well that's good for them especially if it's about education because education is the most important thing nowaday,but i'm just curious whether indian have been regulating bitcoin or not yet because if some organization already accepting bitcoin,they must have some agreement by the government

[mirakal]

New development for bitcoin, it would help to make the economy grow and I am loving the  news. I hope bars will accept bitcoin too so we can get hot chicks without  bringing cash.. If you know there's one, please let me know also.

I have a friend near to that city and It is indeed true.
Even people started paying through the gateway and they feel its easy to use.

Hope to get more of these coming soon.

School accepting Bitcoin is good, but what about hospital?

Hospital would be a great idea. Especially with how much those dam
bills can cost. Even just co pays would be nice. My buddy was telling me
he had a tooth pulled and the dentist didn't take bitcoin "publicly" but when
my friend said I wish you took bitcoin before paying he said "I can take bitcoin
for it" and he ended up paying cash half and bitcoin half.  I think it was just a few
hundred dollars but still cool.

Not many schools have accepted bitcoin here in India till now. Good to see Karnataka taking the lead in them I hope other schools, colleges and hospitals will start to accept it soon enough. Bitcoin is not very popular in my city though, now it seems there is a ray of hope that it will become more popular here as well.

I think this is the same thing here in my country though I heard one big and popular school is now accepting Bitcoin as a payment form in lieu of cash. This is actually a very good trend as we can be seeing more and more merchants riding with the Bitcoin bandwagon. Schools, hospitals, malls, transportation, entertainment and so much more...we can see them accepting BTC soon. And that is indeed a good news for all of us!

If the school that I want to attend accepts bitcoin for tuition payments then I would go back to school.

[wxa7115]

Great news even though it’s a small step forward in order to increase adoption of bitcoin at least it’s something, for example I attended an IT school and there was not talk at all about bitcoin which to me was surprising

[Harlot]

Keep in mind they use the word "school fees" which can be related to miscellaneous fees not to the word "tuition fees". With that I can understand as handling misc fees with Bitcoin which is a lot cheaper than a tuition fee is good as this school anticipated the fluctuations it can do. But its os cool to see an international school accept bitcoin as a mode of payment. Hoping to see more.

[Blitzboy]

This is remarkable. I have been waiting for this for many years. It is awesome to know that there is a school which accepts bitcoin for paying school fees and other facilities. I think i will send my kids to that school

[amiryaqot]

This sounds interesting to know any school is start accepting bitcoin so that is really inspiring for other fields of real life, this kind of good news we are waiting for when other fields of life start thinking to take it as currency for use it like fiat, than it would go to mainstream and hard believer will take advantage in real meanings.

[johnnyyash]

Sounds interesting, but do you have a link? Do we know how good the translation is?

same here...really interesting

tuition fees cost alot. Somewhere in the hundreds. I remember paying $300 just in these fees alone one year.

That is great. I mean experts are predicting a Bitcoin boom, which is only beneficial to the community. We are already signs of it occurring with this school accepting Bitcoin. Near my house, I have seen a couple of cafes which accept Bitcoin. However, I never thought India would be the site of the Bitcoin boom.
