Universities are embracing accepting bitcoin for tuition, with Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Switzerland the latest school to adopt. If anything, it's another clear sign the cryptocurrency is here to stay.

Even so... Bitcoin has been used to buy homes, and countries like Venezuela and Vietnam are beginning to truly embrace the currency. Now, certain universities are adopting the payment method of bitcoin for tuition, albeit with a few caveats.

These are quite small countries to begin with. Nothing is going to change unless the big sharks adopt the method. Moreover before it is implied in school fees. It must enter the school curriculum so people get to know more about it.

I think this is the best news for the start of my week, i knew Switzerland definitely had something up their sleeve because their system accommodates a lot of currencies and i knew bitcoin wouldn't be an exception even though it's suffered a lot of public bashing. Well done Lucerne University of Applied Sciences, it's an eye opener.

And the news had my attention on the "Lucerne doesn’t expect many of its students to pay with bitcoin initially, but believes those who understand the currency will be among the first to take advantage of the option". Given that bitcoin really is not yet fully regulated in other countries, this could also prove that their are countries who still trust and is allotting funds for their economy. This issue can even start innovation of bitcoin for other purposes.

It doesn't expect ANY of its students to pay with Bitcoin. Let's be real here. Give me a friggin' break.

Most schools are going online or face disappearing. This is a ploy to lure in dumbos. Don't be a sheep.

Is this the first of its kind? A school are now accepting bitcoin for tuition?

Switzerland again proves that they are really bitcoin friendly nation. This could really affect how bitcoin is being adopted in that country. Although they are not expecting many students to used bitcoin as payment method in the beginning, but as soon as the schools open this will be the hottest topic on the campus. And next year I'm expecting that their will be significant increase in using bitcoin as tuition fee payment. Every students want to be in the latest "craze", --Bitcoin.

In my Country, Those schools that is accepting bitcoin for school fees are those school that is so very expensive.

This is amazing news for the Bitcoin world. With more educational institutions readying up to accept Bitcoin for tuition fees, its going to be easier access to education. With this in place, expect the education system to add digital currency and how it works into their syllabi which is furthermore great news for the whole cryptocurrency market.

From the article:
Link: shared by OP

”to see universities around the world to not only accept them as payment, but also introduce courses focused on blockchain technology”.

This one is my thread regarding this issue:
Link:(Bitcoin in College???)

I’m just happy to share this that I have the same idea of what the future may bring. I don’t say it is right or wrong but in someone like me who are open-minded for possibilities and innovation to educate and to spread it to all younger generations is a fulfilling journey that might bitcoin will be into.

In due time, students(all related to technologies) will not be ignorant in this aspect again.

Wow I wish I was studying on that school so I can directly use my bitcoin to pay my tuition fee. It is a very good thing for the students who have bitcoin. I think that school has lots of people (students and teachers) that are bitcoin holders and user that is why it is implemented. It is hassle for me to first convert my bitcoin into fiat then pay my tuition and other expenses in my school because if I am converting bitcoin I have to pay extra fee but if it is directed to school I have no any extra fees to pay. Paying tuition by means of bitcoin is much more helpful to me becuase I can make sure that my money will.not be dedicated to other unimportant things.
How I wish my school notice bitcoin and accept it.

It is good start for the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Switzerland to adopt bitcoin as tuition to their student. Hoping here in my country adopt bitcoin as tuition in colleges and universities like what they did by lucerne university. The initial start of adopting bitcoin as tuition in Lucerne University have a big impact in crypto world and i think there are possibility some schools and colleges in other country do what lucerne did.

This is a good news for people who have lots of bitcoin but I don't think they have financial problems for them to be using their bitcoin. And as for me who is investing on bitcoin hoping to be rich someday I dont think I'll be using my bitcoin cause it will defeat the reason why I hodl bitcoin.

Caveats such as...? Could you elaborate on that?

Haha yeah good old Switzerland. They're really on the ball with their cryptocurrencies. D
I wish Canada was more like this but we'll get there someday. Not like I'm looking for an education at this point either way!
