SFU didn’t exactly rake in the Bitcoin donations in first month

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      In late August, Simon Fraser University became the first Canadian university to accept Bitcoin donations.

      The announcement came with Bitcoin donations worth a total of $6,000 from two individuals

      A month later, it's clear the news didn't result in a Bitcoin bonanza for the university, at least not right away.

      Today (September 30), SFU's administration confirmed to the Straight that after the initial gifts, the university received a couple of small donations worth a total of about $100.

      The Straight previously reported that SFU is considering accepting Bitcoin in its bookstores and dining services, as well as hosting a Bitcoin expo.

      Young people: Know how to use Bitcoin + Poor
      Old people: Can barely use technology + High Incomes/Assets

      Good on SFU for being open to the future
