I think it is time for a yearly update:

CoinATM 2019 EOY stats update: 6297 crypto ATMs installed worldwide

Please first read my last update (one year ago) as this post is a follow-up from there: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.48796571

As "predicted" this year it was not possible anymore to reach another doubling in Bitcoin ATM's installed but a more linear growth resulting in an 50% increase. Even tho it is still an impressive milestone of continuous growth that reflects maturity. More than 2000 newly installed crypto ATM's during an otherwise slow year.

Also, the rate of installations have accelerated during the past couple of months and could account for another easy 50% increase (3000+ new ATM's) for next year if all other factors remain constant.

The current density of ATM's worldwide is reaching very good levels. Main capitals keep growing and presence of ATMs have reached more than acceptable levels in some. For example, Las Vegas not only recovered from its past ATH of 95 ATM's (from a bottom of 65) but reached an impressive (for such an small area) of 121!

Also as predicted, the fees seems to have been lowered in those areas with more density probably due to increased competition.

Much more important is that SELL fees during 2019 have been constantly low in comparison to BUY fees. It is not uncommon to now find SELL fees of 1.5 to 3% where past year were almost double than that. This could be consistent to the argument that we are now in an accumulation phase so that ATM providers need to balance supply/demand via fee incentives. (If their pockets were full of BTC we would see the inverse effect in fees).

Those fees are now perfectly acceptable for the convenience of using an ATM, more so if you are a traveler to a foreign country and can also avoid currency exchange at an even higher fee.

It seems that progressive fees are starting to appear.... in some way, like establishing a buy fee of % + X$ fixed minimum amount. Also some operators offer OTC for bigger amounts at a better fee (something I would like to see implemented in the ATM itself soon).

Quote
It is possible to envision that IF Bitcoin adoption grows enough (more than one order of magnitude) during the following years some innovator conventional ATM manufacturers would even include crypto functionality into their products. That would be critical adoption milestone that could make the crypto ATM stats skyrocket. I don't see that happening in less than 3-5 years.

I am still missing this but IIRC some manufacturer announced exactly that... I just don't see it really happened yet.

Quote
The future looks bright also in this field of Bitcoin industry. Infrastructure in general has never been so good with tens of exchanges, thousands of crypto ATM's, variety of hardware wallets and third party custodial offerings, etc.

Fundamentals are there and improving day by day. Let's see what new major milestones gets achieved during next year. Sooner or later price will follow too.

This has not changed. In fact we have advanced a couple of steps more. Eventually we will reach the destination.

Cheers!

Is anybody even remotely bothered about what some might say is a fairly low price atm?

I’m just living life, feeling relaxed about everything, safe in the knowledge that the MOON will appear over the next few years.

Enjoy yourselves, relax & stack sats. Good times are coming & I don’t mean fucking Christmas.

Doomed to see the future and unable to prevent it

I love to wake up to seeing this posted. Smiley


Glad you went and watched it... Its one of my faves, probably in my Top 10. So many great quotes. The way they trash their hotel rooms is epic.

Just for fun, I read all about adrenochrome last night... Its basically a form of adrenaline and doesn't actually have psychedelic properties.

Would you believe that Mark Harmon, Penn Gillette, Cameron Diaz and a young Tobey Macguire were all in that movie? I didn't realize it was them until I looked at the credits on IMDB.

Theres a few movies that are not well known with great casts, Snatch and Jackie brown come to mind.


Welcome

The country that brought us democracy, gyros and ouzo.  How good is that !


[font size=3]I think they also invented lesbianism[/font]

Democracy (awesome) but most importantly Gyros & Ouzo right...  Cheesy

Regarding Lesbianism, Lesbos not only famous for its great ouzo... Cheesy

Quote
The word lesbian is derived from the name of the Greek island of Lesbos, home to the 6th-century BCE poet Sappho. From various ancient writings, historians gathered that a group of young women were left in Sappho's charge for their instruction or cultural edification.

Yeah and the country being in the dark ages (sort of) for many many years but it will rise back - just like our beloved BTCBTCBTC  Cheesy Thanks for the warm welcome guys! =)

And just like that the thread devolved into toxicity once again.

'democracy' my Great Aunt Fanny.

This is bitcoin, people, where capital rules and people...

...well they just don't.

Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.

“The best argument against Democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.” -Actually falsley attributed but a funny rebuttal.


I thought that quote was

Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried before it.


and found an interesting article.

Welcome μαλάκα.

Greeks call ouzo, what the Turkish call raki. Grape leftovers moonshine with anise.
On the other hand, Greeks have another ouzo/raki version called tsipouro - which comes with & without anise (resembling grappa).
Then in Crete, we have the grape leftover moonshine again - strictly without the anise - called raki.

It's a fucking mess.

It really is man, hahaha Cheesy I love the Cretans though, very nice people, we felt just like home there and on every corner they gave me RAKI when they heard I am from Drama. Cheesy

Hey guys,

just wanted to introduce myself - proud to be part of the hat gang now! Cheesy

How do you like my new hat?!  Cool May the Greek Gods be with us on our journey to the moon!  Cheesy

Big big thanks to @xhomerx10, I am loving it man! Smiley

 Thanks for introducing yourself to the WO gang and welcome.
