罗蒙德学校成为英国第一个接受比特币进行学费的教育机构

苏格兰海伦斯堡（Helensburgh）的一所享有声望的独立学校Lomond School将成为英国第一家接受比特币接受比特币进行学费支付的教育机构。

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.

苏格兰一所著名独立学校的海伦斯堡（Helensburgh）的洛蒙德学校（Helensburgh's Lomond School）将是英国第一个接受比特币学费的教育机构。

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.

从2025年的秋季学期开始，学校将以公认的付款方式引入BTC。作为一项更广泛的举措的一部分，将“合理的货币原则”和奥地利学校的经济理论注入其课程中，该学校还将将这些概念编织到精选计划中。

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，强调了为学生准备快速变化的全球经济的重要性，以及他们将如何将比特币用作现实世界的教学工具。

“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.”

“比特币可供世界上任何愿意学习的人使用 - 使其更具民主和包容性，尤其是对于可能无法获得传统银行业或法定货币的发展中国家的人们。”

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.

该学校目前不会在其资产负债表上持有比特币，任何收到的学费的BTC都将立即转换为法定货币。但是，学校向学校社区提供有关未来对比特币进行投资的潜在国库策略的反馈。

"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."

“我们也对我们的父母和学生对未来几年中如何投资任何盈余资金的看法感兴趣。在学校社区中，对比特币引起了极大的兴趣。”

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.

在对货币贬值和通货膨胀的担忧中，洛蒙德的决定提出了。今年，英镑的价值急剧下降，这一轨迹大多数主要的菲亚特货币一直在长期以来，这是由于分数储备银行系统的固有缺陷。

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，比特币与固定供应和分散的货币政策一起编程，这与学校认为“全球金融的不稳定”形成鲜明对比。

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

“学校还有兴趣探索未来其他加密货币和区块链技术的潜力。”

Bitcoin in Education: A Growing Trend

教育中的比特币：增长的趋势

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

洛蒙德（Lomond）加入了一个少量但不断增长的学术机构清单，这些学术机构正在接受或整合以各种形式的比特币。

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.

在美国，辛辛那提大学于2022年开始提供有关加密货币和Web3的课程，而埃尔·萨尔瓦多教育部与非营利性MI Primer Biter Bitcoin合作，在学校课程中引入比特币。

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，怀俄明大学于7月推出了怀俄明大学比特币研究所，奥斯汀大学宣布了今年早些时候在其捐赠基金中向比特币分配了500万美元的分配。

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.

这些动作强调了对比特币的日益兴趣，不仅是作为一种资产，而且是经济，技术和哲学背景的研究主题。

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）的领导指出，学校的目标不仅是在比特币中收集学费，还要将其融入学习结构。

"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."

“这不仅仅是学校的收入。这是为学生准备有能力和批判性的思想家对金钱，州主权和数字经济的迅速改变我们周围的世界。”
