Topic: Can ATMs move bitcoin into the mainstream? - page 2. (Read 1536 times)
ATMs are not going to take bitcoin into the mainstream. What is the function of an ATM? It's to buy bitcoin. What is the point of owning bitcoin for a newbie if you can't use it and doesn't work better than the cash and credit card he has been using? We need more merchants accepting bitcoin and possibly gives a discount on the next purchase.
Why mand ?
If some random person spots one, the average ATM doesn't tell you what it actually does, or whether you're getting a fair rate and often demands ridiculous stuff like palm scans and multiple forms of ID. Most people would walk away in disgust.
By the sounds of it in their present form most of aren't exactly a welcoming gateway into crypto world.

There isn't anything or anyone that can move bit coin. It's too crippled. Doesn't offer anyone anything except wild speculation over nothing.
