Cyprus University Accepts Bitcoin For Tuition Fee Payments

Posted by timothy on from the sound-in-ads-needs-to-die-die-die dept.

The announcement is part of a proposal set up by the university to develop the Mediterranean island into a hub for bitcoin trading, processing and banking, as use of the virtual currency continues to gain traction."
