Every electronic ticket machine in Switzerland sells XBT, and accepts CHF and EUR cash as payment. Apparently people have been using it for remittance purposes instead of Western Union, and WU decided to try to do something about it:

A perfect reason to walk over to the machine and buy Bitcoin Grin

Am I the only one who don't like buying bitcoin in public places or in these places where are lots of camera which does not give privacy to the amount (I mean only for privacy) but if I don't care for privacy then it's ok, a good place to purchase bitcoin and from the picture provided seems the fees are not high as I thought.

Just a question: Are you from Switzerland? As far as i know you need a Swiss mobile number for buying BTC. Or is there any way around this (idiotic rule)?

What did they decide to do about it? people should realize something about bitcoin, it's like IPv4 and IPv6 while banks and traditional banking system is more like IPv4 while bitcoin is like IPv6. if you know about internet protocols you'd know what I'm talking about.

bitcoin has IPv6 utility, but.
but then we have blockstream trying to act as ISP's only offering users ipv4 and sidetrack them with bad compression and other features, while the ISP(blockstream) is utilising real IPv6 concepts for commercial banking networks. until they are ready to unveil the new ipv6 currency known as hyperledger
