I think that there was a Bitcoin ATM in London last summer for a trial - a friend and I were thinking about visiting as it would have been an easy way to get access to coin. Shame that we didn't now as prices were low then haha Tongue

So, am I right in presuming that you will be able to deposit fiat and exchange it to BTC, via the ATM machine?

OK, sounds very good, upbeat piece about bitcoin becoming used and accepted in the UK. Should definitely help with adoption in my home island. Any bitcoin ATM machines in the UK yet? Last I heard 3 firms were racing to have the first one installed in London.

Prices are still low now - wait till Amazon announces its going to take bitcoins, and we head to $3k without passing go. Zipzap now allows you to get bitcoins at 28K locations in the UK doesn't it? Snooze or looze

I don't think there are any ATM's in the UK at the moment, but it's only a matter of time. It certainly was a pro-BTC article, although they did question the 'silk-road' stuff, which James (elliptic.co) just gave napster and mp3 as examples of new technology, it's always adopted firstly by the criminal element...

they explained a little about how bitcoin is mined, and interviewed some woman at cumbria university, who are taking botcoin for course fees, and also interviewed the guy who has started the cold storage company in london - 8 minute piece. Looks like a lead in to a bigger piece, most likely on prime time news later.

What's the gist? Just an educational piece or real news story? e.g. "increased adoption by online retailers"
