羅蒙德學校成為英國第一個接受比特幣進行學費的教育機構

蘇格蘭海倫斯堡（Helensburgh）的一所享有聲望的獨立學校Lomond School將成為英國第一家接受比特幣接受比特幣進行學費支付的教育機構。

Helensburgh's Lomond School, a renowned independent school in Scotland, will be the first educational institution in the United Kingdom to accept Bitcoin for tuition fees.

蘇格蘭一所著名獨立學校的海倫斯堡（Helensburgh）的洛蒙德學校（Helensburgh's Lomond School）將是英國第一個接受比特幣學費的教育機構。

Beginning with the Autumn term of 2025, the school will introduce BTC as an accepted payment method. As part of a broader initiative to infuse "sound money principles" and Austrian School economic theory into its curriculum, the school will also be weaving these concepts into select programs.

從2025年的秋季學期開始，學校將以公認的付款方式引入BTC。作為一項更廣泛的舉措的一部分，將“合理的貨幣原則”和奧地利學校的經濟理論注入其課程中，該學校還將將這些概念編織到精選計劃中。

Announcing the integration of BTC payments, Lomond highlighted the importance of preparing students for a rapidly changing global economy, and how they will be using Bitcoin as a real-world teaching tool.

Lomond宣布宣布BTC付款的整合，強調了為學生準備快速變化的全球經濟的重要性，以及他們將如何將比特幣用作現實世界的教學工具。

“Bitcoin is available to anyone in the world who is willing to learn – making it more democratic and inclusive, especially for people in developing nations who may not have good access to traditional banking or fiat currency.”

“比特幣可供世界上任何願意學習的人使用 - 使其更具民主和包容性，尤其是對於可能無法獲得傳統銀行業或法定貨幣的發展中國家的人們。”

The school will not be holding Bitcoin on its balance sheet for now, and any BTC received for tuition will be immediately converted into fiat currency. However, the school is open to feedback from the school community on a potential treasury strategy for investing in Bitcoin in the future.

該學校目前不會在其資產負債表上持有比特幣，任何收到的學費的BTC都將立即轉換為法定貨幣。但是，學校向學校社區提供有關未來對比特幣進行投資的潛在國庫策略的反饋。

"We are also interested in the views of our parents and students on how we might invest any surplus funds in the years ahead. There is a great deal of interest in bitcoin in the school community."

“我們也對我們的父母和學生對未來幾年中如何投資任何盈餘資金的看法感興趣。在學校社區中，對比特幣引起了極大的興趣。”

Lomond's decision comes amid heightened concerns about currency depreciation and inflation. The value of the British pound has declined dramatically this year, a trajectory that most major fiat currencies are destined for in the long term due to the inherent flaws in the fractional-reserve banking system.

在對貨幣貶值和通貨膨脹的擔憂中，洛蒙德的決定提出了。今年，英鎊的價值急劇下降，這一軌跡大多數主要的菲亞特貨幣一直在長期以來，這是由於分數儲備銀行系統的固有缺陷。

However, Lomond notes that Bitcoin is programmed with a fixed supply and a decentralized monetary policy, which contrasts with what the school deems "the instability of global finance."

但是，洛蒙德指出，比特幣與固定供應和分散的貨幣政策一起編程，這與學校認為“全球金融的不穩定”形成鮮明對比。

"The school is also interested in exploring the potential of other cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies in the future."

“學校還有興趣探索未來其他加密貨幣和區塊鏈技術的潛力。”

Bitcoin in Education: A Growing Trend

教育中的比特幣：增長的趨勢

Lomond joins a small but growing list of academic institutions that are accepting or integrating Bitcoin in various forms.

洛蒙德（Lomond）加入了一個少量但不斷增長的學術機構清單，這些學術機構正在接受或整合以各種形式的比特幣。

In the U.S., the University of Cincinnati began offering courses on cryptocurrencies and Web3 in 2022, while El Salvador's Ministry of Education partnered with nonprofit Mi Primer Bitcoin to introduce Bitcoin in the school curriculum.

在美國，辛辛那提大學於2022年開始提供有關加密貨幣和Web3的課程，而埃爾·薩爾瓦多教育部與非營利性MI Primer Biter Bitcoin合作，在學校課程中引入比特幣。

More recently, the University of Wyoming launched the University of Wyoming Bitcoin Research Institute in July, and the University of Austin announced a $5 million allocation to Bitcoin in its endowment fund earlier this year.

最近，懷俄明大學於7月推出了懷俄明大學比特幣研究所，奧斯汀大學宣布了今年早些時候在其捐贈基金中向比特幣分配了500萬美元的分配。

These moves highlight the increasing interest in Bitcoin not just as an asset, but also as a subject of study in economic, technological, and philosophical contexts.

這些動作強調了對比特幣的日益興趣，不僅是作為一種資產，而且是經濟，技術和哲學背景的研究主題。

Lomond's leadership noted that the school's goal is not just to collect tuition in Bitcoin but also to integrate it into the fabric of learning.

洛蒙德（Lomond）的領導指出，學校的目標不僅是在比特幣中收集學費，還要將其融入學習結構。

"This is about more than the school's income. It's about preparing students to be capable and critical thinkers about money, state sovereignty, and the digital economy that is rapidly transforming the world around us."

“這不僅僅是學校的收入。這是為學生準備有能力和批判性的思想家對金錢，州主權和數字經濟的迅速改變我們周圍的世界。”
