Lomond School成為英國第一所接受學費比特幣（BTC）的學校

根據獨立學校管理站點的報告，該男女同校寄宿學校已成為英國第一所接受比特幣（BTC）的學校

set in the Scottish town of Helensburgh, provides education for students ranging from three years old until 18 years old.

位於蘇格蘭鎮海倫斯堡（Helensburgh），為從三歲到18歲的學生提供教育。

In order to introduce BTC as a viable payment method for families, the school has teamed up with Bitcoin payment provider Musqet and the FCA-regulated virtual asset service and fiat wallet CoinCorner to accept the cryptocurrency.

為了將BTC作為家庭的可行付款方式，該學校與比特幣支付提供商Musqet和FCA調節的虛擬資產服務和Fiat Wallet Concorner合作，接受加密貨幣。

Initially, the school will convert all Bitcoin payments directly into British pound sterling to manage any currency risks and prefers to keep the BTC asset in the British currency. But it is also planning to build a Bitcoin asset reserve in the near future, once crypto has gained a broader acceptance in the U.K.

最初，學校將將所有比特幣支付直接轉換為英鎊英鎊，以管理任何貨幣風險，並更喜歡將BTC資產保留為英國貨幣。但是它也計劃在不久的將來建立比特幣資產儲備，一旦加密在英國獲得了更廣泛的接受

Announcing the decision at the national Bitcoin conference, Cheatcode, Lomond School principal Claire Chisholm said that the school has always been a trailblazer in many “firsts.” It was the first boarding school to house both boys and girls and it was also among the first to fully embrace the International Baccalaureate curriculum.

洛蒙學校校長克萊爾·奇斯霍爾姆（Claire Chisholm）在國家比特幣會議上宣布這一決定，說該學校一直是許多“首先”的開拓者。這是第一所託管男孩和女孩的寄宿學校，也是第一個完全接受國際學士學位課程的寄宿學校。

“For generations, this school has been nurturing inquirers, thinkers, communicators, and open-minded risk-takers. It’s really no surprise then that the inventor of the television, John Logie Baird, is a former pupil,” said Chisholm.

Chisholm說：“幾代人來說，這所學校一直在培養詢問者，思想家，傳播者和開放的冒險者。電視的發明家John Logie Baird是前學生，這確實不足為奇了。”

As for the new initiative by the school to accept Bitcoin, it hopes that the move will appeal to families, both in the local and international market. Several local families and international education agents have lobbied for Bitcoin as an alternative payment option at Lomond.

至於學校接受比特幣的新倡議，它希望此舉將在本地和國際市場上吸引家庭。幾位當地家庭和國際教育特工遊說比特幣，作為洛蒙德的替代付款選擇。

For internationally-based families in particular, the ability to pay tuition fees in Bitcoin helps remove the uncertainty that comes with international exchange rates. The school hopes the new initiative will attract more forward-thinking families locally as well as those around the world.

特別是對於以國際為基礎的家庭，在比特幣中支付學費的能力有助於消除國際匯率帶來的不確定性。學校希望這項新倡議將在當地和世界各地吸引更多具有前瞻性的家庭。
