Title: bitcoin atm
Post by: Lovethecoins on January 21, 2014, 05:27:27 AM
What you think about opening an atm? Think this would be a good profitable investment? Do you trust the machine? Also if you had a atm in your town would you use it.

it'll be too risky to have a bitcoin atm, since it has got to hold a lot of money, which easily a target for robber of atm broker :-\

Why would that make it any more of a target than normal ATMs? Infact, it'll probably hold less cash than most other machines.

Depends on what mark-up the Bitcoin is. If it's pretty much the same as the exchange rate + a small commission, then probably, but not if you're paying a ridiculous premium.

I'd use it though.
because it worth more than other currency, I mean it's more money right?

How is it more money exactly? It'll probably be less if you withdraw $10 of Bitcoin and have to pay a premium commission on that.

Its risky but I heard the latest ATM would only cost about $1000 which is quite worth for investment.

They are already implemented in china. And getting them installed across your city would be dependent on many factors like is you government fine with bitcoins including the financial authorities, Also it would be better to take a quick survey on how many people actually use bitcoin in your area as you don't want to be the only person using that ATM .
