Jeff Berwick, founder of StockHouse.com and CEO of TDV Media, announced Monday his plans to open the world’s first Bitcoin ATM in Cyprus, citing the ongoing bank bailout, bank closures and capital controls now being pushed in that country. According to Berwick, who sold Stockhouse last decade which at the peak of the tech bubble was worth $240 million, Bitcoin ATM has the world’s first software enabling a two-way, automated Bitcoin market.

The picture (on his site: http://dollarvigilante.com/blog/2013/3/25/worlds-first-bitcoin-atm-is-announced-first-location-cyprus.html) was obviously taken in Thailand and photoshopped. The supposed BTC ATM is a TMB bank ATM.

Looks legit.

The photo isn't even labeled as a mockup. That is poor judgement to post such an image for an editor-in-chief. This Jeff Berwick will fit in well with the Bitcoin hypeware club.
