AFAIK historically, some ATM's have been manufactured by shell corps owned by organized crime and used to conduct money laundering.

ATM machines are also one of the places thieves stakeout to steal pin numbers and credit card data.

Other than those small issues, hell yeah. I would totes use a bitcoin atm.

I think until now bitcoin ATM is still be best way to allow newcomers to acquire small amount of bitcoin, although the rate is a bit expensive.

Besides, it can also serve as an advertisement in the public places.
i do not think that we need for any bitcoin atm, we can use our online wallet any time and anywhere, i think when the number of bitcoin uses will increase then the idea of bitcoin ATM may work a little but stil i do not think that a lot of people will appreciate this idea.

Yeah but sometimes we need to convert bitcoins to cash on demand and an ATM is one of the fastest ways.

As Coin Cloud Moves To Spread Bitcoin ATMs Across The United States. Considering the emerging opportunities in the US for Bitcoin as an alternative financial option, as proven by the activities of already installed BTMs, Coin Cloud plans to continue its rapid expansion nationwide.

With over 15 Bitaccess BTM kiosks, Coin Cloud claims to be the largest Bitcoin ATM (BTM) operator on the west coast.

This will be cool if every country will have Bitcoin ATMs and for sure if it has lower fees. And I guess there is no problem so far to those countries who have this at the moment. The earlier they have this facility, the better it is for their own country people.

That will be a great pleasure, I'm actually craving to lay my fingers on one of them and hopefully we can have some in my country soon because I want to learn all the rudiments of operating it and then cash out bitcoins to show off to my friends.

I wouldn't, I don't think if that will give an efficiency or more adoption. I was finding the main concern. The first, use the bitcoin ATM will charge you a lot. I've tried it on the previous time and it was charged me some dollars just to pay the fees. In my life, i will not use the bitcoin atm until the fees will be rational for me.
And the others you can see any criminal case in Mexico. How weak the bitcoin atm itself. http://infocoin.net/en/2017/01/14/3-people-arrested-for-destroying-bitcoin-atms-in-the-usa/

Yes if it was as cheap as coinbase
Or Circle, RIP.  Hell yes, I'd give it a shot.  The thing is that even if I bought some bitcoin at an ATM, I have no doubt whatsoever that the nearest business WON'T take bitcoin.  But I'd buy it just to try.  My options these days are limited for buying.  In the US, I don't think bitcoin ATMs are going to catch on--maybe in Europe or Asia they will.

Looks like us is a lucky place where bitcoin ATM spreading but here in my country you can only see 1 bitcoin ATM which is too far in my area..
Hope that they can increase more ATM available  so that we can use the withdraw deposit instantly without going to banks..
Sometimes here its hard to withdraw or exchange your bitcoin into money hopefully that they can spread ATM also here..

Unfortunately in my city there are no bitcoin ATM, so I don't  know how is the feeling of able to withdraw money from that ATM, I will like to try to withdraw money from bitcoin ATM to know how it's feel, but after that maybe I won't withdraw anymore because I heard the fee is so high, if the fee is too high then I will prefer to find other way to withdraw my money

I would definitely agree to this one. Though i have a bank atm account, I still prefer to have alternative way to receive money just like this. This way it can save me transfering from wallet to bank since it is direct.

How does bitcoin ATM actually works?It must not be similar to fiat atm where you swipe ATM card,enter amount and get currency.I am intrigued about its working as bitcoin is not physical currency so what do you get when you use bitcoin ATM?

The only downside was the fee which was about 10%

Hmm... that's not a disadvantage that I'd be willing to go through just for the luxury of being able to buy bitcoins with an ATM.

I would gladly use it especially when I want to buy up more coins with fiat. I'm told the one in my country only sells BTC to your wallet but doesn't withdraw fiat like conventional ATM machines so I will suggest improvements in the ones coin cloud is installing to have a feature to cash out fiat.

I have used one which is in my area a while ago just to see the process, it really was straight forward and quick.
The only downside was the fee which was about 10%, I agree it is the easiest way for newcomers to enter into bitcoin to see how it works.

That would certainly be something that would greatly simplify things. The procedures and high fees to withdraw money through exchanges make things more complicated, especially for less experienced users.

Being a business organization meant for profit, I am sure Coin Cloud fees will be at a very higher side. means, you will have to pay an exorbitant fees if you want to withdraw any amount of bitcoin from their ATM. I have tried to search their website for the fees, but surprisingly could not find anything. If anyone knows, please let us know as well.

I personally would not prefer bitcoin ATM for the fees only. Because we have options to cash out out bitcoins in a easy way using localbitcoin service and also fees are quite less than the market rate. Unless and until, I have an emergency, I would not prefer bitcoin ATM.

Maybe but I think I'd rather do it online. Less hassle and less transaction fees. But if the fees are low and the atm can be reach easily that you dont have to travel long to access it maybe I would love to use it. As of now I don't see one of it in my country.

Only if requires very little fees like other exchange sites. If however it allows us to remain anonymous while buying, maybe it would be a little more preferred. Never seen any BTC BTM in my life though.

if the fees weren't totally stupid and i didn't have squirt some saliva into the machine for them to keep then absolutely. there don't seem to be many machines like that around.


Yeah, I agree 100% on both points.

I have only used two machines (one was years ago in NYC, the other in Vancouver) that did not require ID and/or cell numbers.  I too would like to have some anonymity left in this brave new world of total tracking.

I can live with the 13.5% and 14% fees (from the two machines closest to me), but I don't have to like it.

For a lower fee (7.5%) I have bought at https://buy.bitcoin.com/.  But, that's not anonymous either.

For a while I was a customer of Circle, their fee was pretty low (1% - 2% IIRC), but then they apparently abandoned that segment of their business.
