Although the fees are quite steep in most cases, I hope many regular ATM's support Bitcoin soon... It's a huge step forward to mainstream adoption.
I hope this comes to Europe ASAP

Nice simple way to buy bitcoin from ATM but the problem is identity and card cloning if someone decides on making a card reader for them. They might be protected in a way this cant be done. But alos the rate of what someone buys at will no doubt be a lot higher than the regular price. I have already seen a number of ATM machines across the UK and they charge out of this world fees. Take BTC being as an example price $300 a coin they want at least $340 per coin so their fees are stupid. Some where maybe 5 to 8% and one being well over 25%. It is good that this sort of thing is happening as it makes it more mainstream and more public will begin to use bitcoin if it is simple enough to buy.

This is a healthy spot for this large saturation of ATMs as they're prime targets for adoption of Bitcoin. There'll be way more options for the masses of a lot more nations to purchase coins during the next wave forward.
