In my country, people can use ATMs to buy data bundles for their mobile phones and they can pay their traffic fines with the ATMs, but they cannot buy bitcoins. 
May I ask where you come from? As a western spoiled brat I get surprised time on time again reading about how superior ATMs and vending machines outside my own little world are.People might think western countries are ahead in terms of technology and everything, but I'm more and more convinced that this isn't the case at all. We're lazy and think that everything we have right now is good enough to last.
The real advancements seem happen in countries with less economical power with how people themselves and businesses are forced to innovate in an attempt to better their situation and living standards.
