Post by: EternalWingsofGod on November 27, 2015, 02:59:48 AM
Today, November 26, 2015, Finnish leading BitcoinCT r:  6 companies Bittiraha.fi and Bitcoinkaupat.com opened the first Bitcoin ATM in the largest shopping centre of Finnish capital. The Bitcoin ATM (BTM) network building is not just a hobby for Bitcoin companies in Nordic countries, now they make serious steps to make Helsinki the Bitcoin capital of Europe.

Today citizens and guests of the capital have the opportunity to buy and sell Bitcoin using a new two-way BTM located on the second floor of the Itis shopping centre in East Helsinki.

"Itis is one of the highest profile locations possible where you can install a Bitcoin ATM,” wrote Bitcoinkaupat.com's Aleksi Vitakoski in the official press release. “If my hunch is right, this will be a big step in making Helsinki the Bitcoin capital of Europe."

Nordic countries show their growing interest in Blockchain technologies and Finland is a top-3 country per capita in Bitcoin usage globally. With the new Bitcoin ATM in Itis both companies hope for more merchants to begin accepting Bitcoin in the nearby area.
