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