Topic: Bitcoin Adoption: Universities now Accepting Bitcoin for Tuition Payment? - page 2. (Read 760 times)

My question still remain; Is it sustainable? will this continue in the bear market? A volatile coin cant be used to stuffs like this, this are exploit to acquire bitcoin in the bull. It is a selfish move not for long term benefit of the space, I saw this in 2016/2017 not even in 2018.

The whole adoption we have been seeking is gradually gaining the mainstream attention, educational institutions, financial institutions. What more do we need? It is left for governments of several countries to lower their pride and decentralize their economies; by leveraging on the growing of the digital freedom. Bitcoin isn't just a coin, it is an economy to reckon on.

At least they don't have to go out and stay in line anymore.
I think they started to accept it due to the virus to help everyone stop the virus to avoid physical contact.
I am happy about the news and I think it is only the beginning of it more school would soon accept it too.

Looks like the adoption is slowly taking because according to the OP it was 2013 when the university stared adopting Bitcoin?
Yet the flow is nearly 1 university a year because since 2013 there is only 5 that accepts this as payment.

But of course it is more better than nothing and also while Blockchain is being introduced to the student meaning in the next 10-20 years these student will be the Best way of this community to finally be Welcomed in all areas of businesses because for sure that those student will have their own areas in which Blockchain and crypto will be introduced and pursue.

So this list has 5 schools. Cant wait to see this list with more than 500 schools. Though, as a bitcoin enthusiast, i believe people rather use bank wire than bitcoin for universitiy tuition which is faster than bitcoin in this field

But this is also a good chance to spread bitcoin around intuition environment where people are more intelligent and modern than others. Bitcoin needs to become even more popular in order for mass adoption

There's a typo in my previous messages. But you can integrate SEC when it come to an investment cause they have the right to melt into every affairs that have to do with investors protection, fairness in the market etc. Mind you, the SEC wont have be involved in cryptocurrency if there is no overlapping of scam activities by cryptocurrency scammers in the uear 2017 and the last time i checked the SEC work independently though they federal agency but they never for once operate over their roles.
They seems not to be against crypto and the statement made by US SEC CEO are message that could help the surge in price of the market.
With that been said, it not every government or policy that is against crypto.

So this list has 5 schools. Cant wait to see this list with more than 500 schools. ~

As a passionate fan of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general, it has always been my desire to see bitcoin become a payment of choice for many businesses and organizations around the world. Judging by recent developments across the world, I can say that the desire is gradually coming to fruition.


With Bitcoin now being accepted by some major universities in different countries and businesses like Overstock, Microsoft and others, I feel confident that crypto adoption is going in the right direction and in no distant time, cryptocurrencies with $BTC taking the lead will become major contenders in the payment ecosystem as medium of exchange. I can't wait to see $BTC become a popular means of payment, not just a speculative tool and store of value that it's been mostly serving the purpose.

Recently, as I was researching the web, I came across some universities that have since being accepting Bitcoin for school fees payment and I decided to write on the topic here in order to get insights on others that are doing same across the world which I'm yet to come across.

Kindly add to this conversation by listing any university, colleges, or any institutions of learning in any part of the world that is allowing tuition and fees payment by $BTC. Let's keep the list going.

Because, it’s only private owned that will be able to do this, government owned institution wouldn’t be accepting Bitcoin. With that said, I am happy with the progress that we have been seeing.
