This School Will Teach You Bitcoin: Tuition Fees Go Crypto!

by

In a move that might just make your traditional Scottish haggis roll over in its grave, Lomond School—yes, that pretentious place where they probably teach you how to pour tea with an air of superiority—has decided to embrace the cryptocurrency craze. Starting this autumn, students can now pay their tuition, which can reach a staggering $49,711 (£38,000) (though I’m fairly certain you could buy a small castle for that much), in good old bitcoin. The school claims to be the first private institution in the UK to do so, likely because no one else had the stamina to tie their wallets to a rollercoaster ride of price changes.

“Why, you ask?” you might well wonder. Apparently, it’s all about catering to the whims of parents who—no kidding—asked for this. The school, in a fit of what they call “independent thinking and innovation” (which sounds a lot like a fancy way of saying, “we want to keep up with the Joneses”), will convert those shiny digital coins into British pounds faster than you can say “financial misadventure.”

Now, before you get too carried away, the school insists that accepting bitcoin is as secure and legal as an after-dinner whisky (provided you’re of age, of course). However, they won’t be taking any other cryptocurrencies, which raises the eyebrow of every hedge fund manager currently wearing a cape and looking for the next big thing. And don’t forget, while they’re diving headfirst into the crypto pool, they’re keen to point out that bitcoin’s price can swing like a pendulum on roller skates—so keep your helmets on, folks!
