In the U.S. there are these machines in grocery stores called "Coinstar"...they were originally used for fiat coins but now they've modified them so you can buy Bitcoin from them. This is great for mass adoption!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZvXq--LwfA&feature=youtu.be (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZvXq--LwfA&feature=youtu.be)

does not look realistic, and the video is not that quality as it is live television
i would not use it, certainly

They are powered by coinme, this is a good news but I'm thinking on how much would be the fee?

I like the tagline they made, "Coins are money, too! Treat yourself for a change". They have a $2,500 limitation for each customer and this kind of news adoption is always positive. The era of bitcoin ATM is now starting, expect more of it for the upcoming months.

It's great in terms of availability but not in terms of adoption. I see that coinstar has entered into a partnership with CoinMe to sell bitcoins. You can't redeem your code in any wallet than CoinMe. So essentially a buyer will pay high fees for a single buying transaction.

The adoption rate will only increase if the exchange fees can be kept closer to the market price. Otherwise people have better option like p2p trade.

This is one of the great ideas for small payments and support for those who want to own Bitcoin. We live in a growing world every day and why do we need to use Fiat for daily deals? You can pay all with your special pocket money QR code increased every day.

it is obvious that coinstar has entered into a partnership with CoinMe to sell bitcoins.

I think it is more on accessibility purpose. Anyway, also good for those who would like to buy bitcoin without hassle, if they happen to be in the place and decide immediately that they need it so its there. Maybe for adoption also, passers by will be fascinated by the machine so out of curiosity maybe somehow they will also try. just sayin. ;D

A good step in the way of adoption in terms of making btc available to a new audience
But keep the question .. Is this the best way to buy with high fees often?
The second and best step for this audience is P2P.

It would be good news if this is a popular brand in the US, in my country we do not have such machines, but bitcoin adoption increasing in one part of the world, is positive news for enthusiasts all over the world.

Their website would need to contain an introduction section for those interested in buying, so they know how to manage their acquired assets.

Oh wow great news for us bitcoiner hope this news can help for bitcoin or crypt currency in general to help wide mass adoption of bitcoin and this news can help to convince to the iinvestor investing in bitcoin.

A similar news before in other country and its really nice to see another one like this. We are growing slowly but surely. Security might be the most important thing in this kind of development,  stay secured all the time.

well.

i have interest more to schill 500 other coins i got free airdropped.

wont really work.

good luck against that competition.

wow, i must say this is a great news and a very welcomed idea to the cryptocurrency community. It goes to show bitcoin is being adopted in different places all across the globe and in no time we will see it being used in every part of the world. A grocery store selling bitcoin is definitely a good news

This is just reporting the news it seems. The product behind it looks solid.

availability goes up - public exposure goes up. This is great news.

Hope to see more relevant news in the future, the market needs these very much now, this is part of our community development.

That bolded statement is what concerns majority of us. Of course we wanted to try it for ourselves but what about after that? The exorbitant fees will turn off a lot of crypto enthusiast. They may try it once, just for the sake of experiencing it, but to always used that services when you're in a grocery? I doubt that there will be a second time as there are others services that can be utilized and it's way more cheaper.

The fees are indeed quite high, but for some people it's just worth it for the convenience.
According to an article from Cryptoslate, you'd pay 4% in fees plus the trading spread.

https://cryptoslate.com/coinstar-kiosks-sell-bitcoin/

Note that the article also mentions that you pay a whopping 11.9% in fees to count your change in those Coinstar machines.
Also, you can't exchange your coins into Bitcoin.

So it is pretty similar to a Bitcoin ATM which has been active since 2017? As Bitcoin ATM's are adopted pretty much everywhere, I don't see the point of this, so I wouldn't use this. These guys are late 2 years, ATM's are even in the poorer countries while these are at a few grosery stores. It also has a 11% fee which maybe even higher than at the ATM, I think this isn't profitable to use at all.

This is a welcomed development for Cryptocurrency .
I wish I can get something like this or enterprenuers and stores in my country would start accepting bitcoin for the exchange of goods and services.
It would really drive up the adoption rate of the blockchain .
It would make it easy for people to own Cryptocurrency effortlessly and afford those who have bitcoin the opportunity to buy with it.

it is always exciting when i see such information, it clearly shows bitcoin adoption and usage is on the increase and now being accessible at any given place. This means one can now easily get bitcoin more easily

I don't think that video is real or fake. But if it is real, then surely it is a great idea. We are near the era of Bitcoin ATM. It will be a great news for Bitcoin lover also. Hopefully day by day new technology will be added to Bitcoin.

I have not heard how much these ATMs are charging per transactions but I am hoping that the fees are competitive and not abusive so that we can expect more and more people to be getting into this  and thereby helping for the steady and continual adoption of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general. The business of Bitcoin ATM is now taking off as more and more projects are focusing on this segment of the cryptocurrency marketplace. Soon am sure that if this business can be profitable we can see many ATMs to be sprouting all over the place worldwide. The thing here is making Bitcoin as close to as many people as possible.

What a great news indeed to hear about that the Bitcoin is already been available on the grocery store. But we all know that not all countries are yet capable to have this. But to have this kind of information, we can say that this is truly good for the mass adoption.

So the U.S. already have this kind of concept of bitcoin in their country. Well, of that kind of matter will come to be available too here in the country where I am living now, I will take the opportunity to take the fexperience to but Bitcoins in the grocery store. That is a good thing to here about even how hard the crypto market is.

Having three machines in a grocery store in US will not promote bitcoin world wide  :D :P . It will take a long time for mass adoption, early we had an expectation that bitcoin will be having a huge adoption but it turns out that it slowed down and it will take some time for that to happen, the delay happened when the decision on how to move forward about the software upgrade kept extending and the transactions delays and charges increased which kept the adoption rate to this situation.

The market dip and the quest by most members here to see the highs of 2017 has prevented us from appreciating the massive mass adoptions going on all around the world. This is quite exciting news.

Such is another great feat of cryptocurrency. Gradually, the patronage and exposure is growing and in the next few years, many stores will adopt this payment method as the customers opt for it anytime a purchase is made. The future of cryptocurrency is bright as it heads towards the mass adoption.

Buying bitcoin from a the grocery store is step ahead in adoption easily available for users to buy bitcoin this step will definitely ease of getting bitcoins

USA is developed country so it is not impact of the entire world. Because many peoples are aware in Bitcoin so majority of the Americans also involved in crypto holding so we should spread the some other country is a right option and I appreciate this initiative of grocery store.

These services always charge a large percentage towards fees, it is much better to just use a bank to transfer money to an exchange and end up with more coins in the end.

I'm still glad to see more options available for everyone to get started in crypto though.

I'm sure it'll become more common in the coming years. We even have btc atms now and i think access to btc in grocery stores are much easier to attain. This just shows the trajectory of btc towards becoming adopted. Slowly, btc is being used in simple transactions already and in time, especially if btc becomes a little more stable, mass adoption is coming.

I don't think so, even if they made a lot of those machines that allow people to buy Bitcoin from it, it will still not contribute to the mass adoption in my point of view, because of the fact that Bitcoin is not that easy to learn thing for average people that do not have or possess only a few amounts of knowledge about modern technologies and innovation. The reality is not all people in this world will have the privilege to use this kind of technology called Crypto Currency because of many reasons.
In my country, anyone can buy Bitcoin on any 7/11 convenience store and it started around 2014 but until now there is no mass adoption happening in here. :)

this is good news for the world of bitcoin. but not many people know this yet and there are not many tools that can be used for bitcoin transactions in stores that have been circulating.

It seems that worldwide Bitcoin begins to appear in places where we are almost every day.
In the Carrefour supermarket chain, in Spain, you can buy Bitcoin top-up cards.

The revolution begins!  ;D

I really like this kind of news. FL it's great that the number of such places increases. This certainly indicates the development of crypto. I would like to use crypto to pay for products in the store.

My country one shopping Replacement accept bitcoin paying system,but their are hundred think bitcoin paying convert to dollers.if their give us good opportunity to everyone then bitcoin paying will increase other sections in my country.

In some countries in asia you can buy bitcoin in 7/11 lol

All you need to do is use your Coin.Ph wallet to purchase specific load thru 7/11 counter or if the loading machine is available then convert it into crypto,you can choose either Ethereun,bitcoin,bitcoin cash and ripple

Isn’t it very convenient?

But thats sounds good in US territory though the video looks like not real,or maybe its just me

I definitely agree with that OP on this one
This is a great adaptation path that the bitcoin and cryptocurrency community are going.
There has been notable adaptation growth globally

Although the transaction of digital currencies such as Bitcoin is still in full swing all over the world, and many enterprises have begun to accept the use of Bitcoin for payment, it is not recognized in China whether to invest in Bitcoin or as a means of payment. What are the main reasons?



One: Bitcoin, the bifurcated currency of encrypted currency, is born too quickly and too casually, which can easily bring great negative impact to consumers.



Secondly, the technology of the bottom block chain of digital currency is still in the primary stage of development and is not mature enough.



Third: If new concepts and new things are to be popularized to the general public, it is necessary to gradually popularize them for local testing and evaluation.



In addition, Zhou Xiaochuan said that the central bank does not like to create speculative products. Digital money will bring low efficiency and cost to the retail market, which is in conflict with the current financial stability and financial order.

i really want to install these machines ATM in my resturant.in coming few months i already ordered, so people will pay their bill in crypto.

Last post I’ve read is lots of bitcoin ATMs are spreading las vegas for a speed access from those Gamblers that has bitcoin as capital

Then this ,you can buy from grocery store maybe US is slowly adopting bitcoin as what japan does?Lol 🙂

There is really no impossible if the courage to make it happen is really into it. Well, as of now there are countries wherd we can buy Bitcoin in the grocery stores. For crypto users like us, it is very convenient for us and at the same time very interesting and exciting to those who have not yet experience to buy crypto on grocery stores which if we can think is impossible to be available.

additional information in the community for the bitcoin development of country for it.
PALAWAN EXPRESS is a company which you can send money to your friend and relatives nationwide or some part of the world!
They are now selling and buying bitcoin. isn't it amazing?

Good to hear you will be accepting bitcoin and crypto.
I am wondering if anyone has asked you to accept bitcoin payments? Is there a demand?

In my country, they allow us to buy anything is an online store  through third trusted party. I don't think  it's safe but knowing that online stores considers to accept Bitcoin, it is a great milestone for the community. This only mean that the future of crypto is bright. Hoping that time will come that third trusted party will no longer be needed and direct transaction can be made.

buying bitcoin from grocery store, this is indeed one of the best news i have recently about bitcoin, i am glad bitcoin purchase and use is gradually spreading like wide fire all across nations. i look forward to the time we will be able to get bitcoin not just in grocery stores but in other stores...

That should be installed world wide, let's see where it will bring us if all grocery stores out there in USA has it. Next move is put it in other country's grocery stores too.

No one force to use bitcoin for payment in different stores though it is available because it is you who decide on it, and you are free to do it. It is real that stores really accepts it but the problem now is that instead of using it, better to keep it on wallet and used fiat because day has come that the value of bitcoin up high again. For now, even me wont choose to waste any single amount of bitcoin to purchase and keep it as an investment and add some more.

This is a very good thing to happen most especially if it will be implemented world wide, and surely with that matter, most people will be glad too. That will let us to buy Bitcoin easily and ofcourse we can secure ourselves. Because we can buy on the spot on the grocery store.

wow, its a bitcoin ATM right, is the machine can be used for buy bitcoin or sell bitcoin or just only buy bitcoin? its mean we can't sell our bitcoin into real fiat? i think its is a great innovation that can applied in all country in the world

In exchange for Coin.ph since they are now cancelled the convertion of bitcoin to Fiat right?but this is another milestone for the bitcoins improving and popularity

Actually 7/11 has offered this first for how many years now mbut this news is good news for what country this related

It is good to see how we adopt the use of bitcoin where even the grocery store start to accept it because they already know it is a very valuable money. Here in my country I also see some store who accept bitcoin so if this kind of adoption keep on increasing maybe the price of bitcoin market will increase.

Large grocery stores will take longer to accept payments in  bitcoin without having it converted first. Though the fact that this gets raised quite often nowadays seem to indicate that adoption is indeed on it's way. Bitcoin as an alternative mode of payment will be a big boost in customer convenience.

In my country the payment processor handles that. Unfortunately aren't that many shops using that certain payment processor, but things are (slowly) evolving.

The point is that many stores may prefer to receive fiat at the end of the day (easier paperwork, taxes, ..), but that should not stop them from accepting Bitcoin. With the correct payment processor it can be done.
We may just need more payment processors integrate this mean of payment.

Bitcoin ATM’s were been started in some countries but were not been used to that extend and ended up shutting down. “Coinstar” is similar to bitcoin atm but not exactly the same way.

Also, we can transact with bitcoins on these machines which means that we can buy bitcoins as well as sell bitcoins at the same time onto those machines. These kind of innovations make cryptocurrencies become more popular and also peoples who are linked to the centralized world likes to give a try.

So, whats the fee they are going to keep? Kinda sounds like the fee is actually going to be very high. And how secure is it going to be? Anyways, i think it is actually a good initiative for helping in mass adoption. But right now, we want people/business to accept it as a form of payment. Whats the use of buying it from a grocery store if you can' actually use it?

We know that USA is one of the most powerful and has great technology country.
This also includes the guard on your money. taxes implemented and collected properly.
How will it be guarded with the bitcoin system?

I do believe that there are people that will use Coinstar machine for purchasing part of bitcoin for some small amounts. I now that I would. The idea is great and it still is something that people who knows and are part of cryptocurrency world will appreciate  but we need more of those all around the world. Since I am not close to this store I will have to wait and hope that soon, some Coinstar will appear in my neighborhood.

This is a great initiative from the developers of such automated machines. The mass adoption of cryptocurrencies would take time to be fully realized but it would be fulfilled in future. The few people who know about cryptocurrency transactions appreciate the convenience and smart way at which we can make payments with cryptocurrencies.

Depends on their regulations, they are very supportive on cryptocurrency but it has a limitations. Since cryptocurrency or bitcoin can’t control by anyone, maybe USA will just make a good regulations. Having ATM on supermarket is great, but I wont use it for my security purposes, better not to use it regularly because there might be someone watching your back and planning to robbed you.

Some USA states accept bitcoin as a payment method and this payment system brings more popularity to store for being a first. Bitcoin's floating exchange rate doesn't let stores to accept as the main payment method but for a starting point, this is what they can do as an owner of small businesses.

this can be a good start for the development of bitcoin in the future. if a small shop is able to accept bitcoin as a payment, it is possible for all stores in all countries to follow the steps taken by stores in developed countries, the era is undergoing rapid changes so if business people do not keep up with the times they will be left behind.

These services weren't popular all around, and the usage scale of these weren't that big. Another thing countries with legal support for Cryptocurrency usage does it, because recently on the day of inauguration itself the Bitcoin ATM was taken away by the government operating in India. Everywhere it isn't successful. The global need and the governments involvement is a must.

Interesting but kinda meh. So you'd pay a fee and the spread and you can't even send it to your personal wallet. If you want it in your wallet you'd have to pay fee once more. I'd give this a pass. I'd prefer an ATM that can send the bitcoin to any address.

Yes the Bitcoin atm is more preferable than the coinstar machine but there offer is more like paying Bitcoin an exchange site because they as charge some amount fee and you can't expect the coinstar to be the one to pay for the transaction fee. I kinda like them for adding btc.

Any new bitcoin-related service out in public is a good thing so I'm still happy about this news. I just don't think I'll use this service personally.

I do wish that this kind of thing will happen and become available in the country I am living now. This will give the crypto users the convenience to buy Bitcoin. If being able to buy Bitcoin in the grocery stores, then that would give us the hintch that it will spread even more around the globe.

I hope we have something like that in our country,
So even if we forgot or doesn't have cash on hand we could still buy with our crypto currency.

Yes in Romania there are these Bitcoin vending machines in the food stores, that sell bitcoin. They sell also Russian eMoney (as Webmoney, etc).  PayPal is considered to be very, very good.

 Here in Romania, if you have 2000 dollars (or Euro) in your pocket, and someone knows this, you risk to get killed. :)

Very reasonable comment,why need to oay double for fees when there’s a direct process and having lower transaction fees

Though i never tried purchasing in bitcoin ATM because in my location you can purchase in 7/11 and convert directly to your bitcoin wallet

in my country, there are many store provide bitcoin payment. but i never know it in my city, i think they available in some city that many tourism in there. and it will be something new, maybe people that dont know about bitcoin will asking about it. and that is good to make easy for bitcoin player if they have fiat in their pocket

indeed every time we have that desire needs to be made easier. because we all want everything to be easy. but there are still many stores that have not used crypto as a transaction, so I think it is more difficult to do crypto transactions at this time. the problem is that there aren't many stores that use it.

Really great news for adoption, bitcoin adoption really surprise me there are a lot of ways Bitcoin can be used to purchase different kinds of stuff online and offline, we are still in the early stage so many things are still going to happen in the next few years.

Yes it is, Coinstars adopted the cryptocurrency well. I like how Bitcoin could be used to buy a grocery and it is a very smart idea. The feedbacks of their adoption of bitcoin is very well and I can tell it would succeed. I am still waiting for the time that the mass adoption of cryptocurrency will happen. I don't want bitcoin to replace the fiat since that is nearly impossible, but if cryptocurrency is the mainstream currency because of the magical blockchain technology, I would be more than happy.

Yes, if such kind of local grocery markets start accepting bitcoins then their demand will surely rise up which will also rise the price for bitcoins.

Bitcoins need mass publicity and also the peoples who don’t know about bitcoins should come to know about bitcoins and such kind of stores who do prefer bitcoins would surely tend more attention from the peoples and majority of peoples might than go for bitcoins at least to shop into the grocery.

Making a way to have crypto in our life is a big opportunity where are given other options which we want to used in our comforts. We are not yet if mass adoption by somehow there is a positive looks where crypto especially bitcoin is open to the market for payment purposes and it is really great. W are in hopeful that we could used it in some other ways and be accepted even in small companies.

If that's the case of bitcoin to soar higher as this adoption will go a long way of creating more incoming demands. If such, every grocery or huge marketplace at your local place will have proper way of using crypto as mode of payments, then it will provide every consumer a comfortable system. The society needs bitcoin to eliminate delays and prevent robbery getting cash at the stores, so it has more advantage rather physical security. We're at a convenient ways of using money in a digital form.

Unfortunately there only are a very few machines of those type in the world and they only exist in US, but it's great that wee see them appearing at least there. I am sure with time passing and bitcoin getting more popular more and more shops and malls will add this kind of machines inside their buildings.

Yeah, It is really mass adoption, and it is a easy way to buy bitcoin, also it will popularity of bitcoin. Most of the people who have no awareness about bitcoin they will be know about bitcoin in this wise.
But unfortunately i have never seen in my country like this store. But i wish i see it and definitely this moment will be remember-able for me when i buy a bitcoin from a store. 

very good development. more users will be able to buy and invest in cryptocurrencies. today there are still many people who are not familiar with cryptocurrency and do not know how to buy it. with developments like this anyone will easily buy and even distribute it. Hopefully more of these machines will be installed on grocery stores worldwide. so that the general public can use cryptocurrencies in real life.

We cant say that these things can drive adoption because some people do already recognized cryptos but they insist to stick with fiats  . people still have doubts because of the volatility factor of cryptos  .  overall , this news is good for us who already use cryptos because we can now buy coins easily just by going at a supermarkets grocery  . how i wish that these machines will be available on my place  , right now we only have a few crypto powered atm's still they are miles away from my hometown .

Although it's awesome, I think only a few people who want to buy bitcoin in a grocery store unless they know about bitcoin before so they can try to buy bitcoin. Maybe it needs a months before people realize that they can buy bitcoin in an offline store, but if we could promote this, I am sure people will become curious. Their curiosity will attract them to buy bitcoin and no matter what, it will spread among them, and more people will try to buy bitcoin.

I’ve heard about coinstar but I can’t believe that they are been modified and can now support cryptocurrency transactions. Whole and sole function of this machine would be somehow similar to bitcoin atm’s but yet gaining mass adoption is not that easy for anything related to cryptocurrencies. I would love hearing this news from a more official source so that it could then be considered as a official news.

This is good if it’s really true. It will help mass usage of the machine which is also good for the crypto and bitcoin development. But we need to be sure the transaction fee is not much else it will discourage people from using it. These are one of the things to take note so ur can go a long way.

The transparency of bitcoin at local stores should be practiced very well, and we must spread information so that this will become trending to all of us. I wonder this will be implemented in asia particular on rising economy like Singapore and Japan. Because of that merging of fiat and digital is one way of making bitcoin to soar up higher.

I am glad such a thing exist in the US now which clearly shows bitcoin adoption is on the increase. The grocery store is one store people love to visit every time to time and being able to buy bitcoin there makes things very easy for bitcoin lovers to get bitcoin with ease. As time goes on more places will have Bitcoin machines where bitcoin can be purchased with ease.

I think I can adopt it from America, in my country, I hope it will be like that to make it easier for us to store it, it is easy and precisely this is not possible in the US.

Crypto Currencies are not very popular among many people. Even my friends and my near and dear ones did not know much about bitcoins and how it works. If bitcoins are introduced in physical stores, then it can really help the adaption of bitcoins.

In my country, only some selected restaurants already have this kind of payments. Looking forward that such grocery stores here allowed btc too as a payment. Less hassle for bitcoiners who want to purchase something in grocery.


Oh well, what do we expect from the people who are not aware that bitcoin exists? This is a good step for them to know that bitcoin can be used as this payment method and for them to be aware about this technology.

Expect more of these in the coming days as more and more people are now attracted to join the investments in which they realized the exceptional earnings from Bitcoin specially in countries in which declared Bitcoin is free of government tax.

As a bitcoin user, i also have great wishes about bitcoin and i rely on it that in future more other ways will be introduced for us about bitcoin investments. But unfortunately still in many countries people can't buy bitcoin in a store, including in my country. 

Wow, It really is a piece of very good news. Bitcoin is being accessed to a grocery store with a machine called "coinstar". It's really good news to people around the world. But I am a little worried about how much the transaction fees will be for each moment. Transaction fee: if it is too much it will not be convenient for the people.

I believed that this is the main objective of this movement they want to see what is the reactions of the people about this

And i guess this is just a dry run for the bigger opening from this country to around the world, as i think that japan has a lots of this machinery for years now

And the concept is just taken fron japan to spread to ths world

It's not that easy as many government around the world are still ain't convince of what the potential bitcoin have, those who started to embrace are making good outcome, better to look for future results and not just the investment part of this industry, bitcoin will be embraced and will gain more and more interest from different people and businesses, things will be adopted all around as part of payment services.

Such equipment for buying Bitcoin extremely popularizes cryptocurrencies. In addition, if you place it in grocery stores, it is even more efficient, because such stores are the most visited. For a buyer, a low commission when buying is very important, I think competition among suppliers of such services will help reduce it.

This is actually good. This can wake the curiousity of those who do not know bitcoin yet. And once their basic questions are answered, they might find it convenient and get engaged eventually. What a great step for adoption. It may be small, but it surely will give a great impact on the crypto community. However...
And bear in mind, "Safety first."

Seems like they are trying to make a replica of Bitcoin ATM. Anything is good as long as they are contributing something for the Bitcoin growth. It is sure that people were going to find it interesting and then try it on so it is going to increase the public adoption.

Seen at my local grocery store:

http://www.schoch.org/photos/20191004_103801.jpg

This is really good news. It can be the first step for adoption of Bitcoin in the U.S. . Trump doesn't like Bitcoin as we all know but someone else will replace his place eventually and the approach to Bitcoin will change too I believe.

In my country you can buy Bitcoin from local grocey store since 2015 so imagine this <3 . I remember back in 2015 when I went to my local grocey store and I was buying Bitcoin , all the people looked at me with doubt as they didn't know what I was buying haha. Now we even have Ethereum and word spreads as its gonna have Dash soon incorporated which is great. Its good that more countries are adopting this feature but with Americans is hard as the money flows there at a different pace so they don't want people to buy bitcoin yet so they keep it hidden for easy access.

Regarding on the fees. Bitcoin transactions will have a fee as well as the taxes that each of the product has. I am wondering how government will utilize the taxes if they will support bitcoin or altcoin as the main mode of payment in groceries and any stores in the market. Would it be harder for them? Or maybe they can develop a formula that can compute the taxes whenever the market price of bitcoin changes.

Hmm, I think it is good for commercial purposes because it attracts or make people curious about it but I don't think many users will adopt it. The reason why is the high fees and rates. I would stick on the old way rather than using that. Also if they adopt it, what will the government do? Taxed it? It will just increases the fee and on some way make the transactions watched or monitored.

It's a great start to begin commercializing bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. However, I would first make sure of the company's credibility since you're trusting these machines your funds. If this would turn out as scam, then all your funds that you thought you placed in your BTC address would be gone. I think it's still safer to buy using trusted exchanges to buy bitcoin than using these machines since it is only starting. I'll wait for the technology to grow and when I see it as a trusted way to buy, then maybe I'll try at some time.

Have new way how to buy bitcoin in United State at grocery store? have this store legal for United State citizen to buy and purchase money to bitcoin? because US still not available for their people want to invest with bitcoin or altcoin, but with have grocery store many people easy for invest money convert to bitcoin.

Currently there are only in US the machines available, but I am sure in the future many countries will adopt such machines. Payments using Bitcoin are increasingly widespread in the country which legalizes Bitcoin. I hope that in the future my country can also use Bitcoin to pay for various needs from the grocery store.

I agree, people will still choose fiat over bitcoin because for sure they will be clouded minded what is bitcoin or maybe they are still being affected by FUDs.


They can't do it, that is the single thing that the Government cannot do to Cryptocurrency, it have a decentralized network called blockchain, but still peopel are afraid to use it for their own personal reason, maybe it is because they want to play everythin safe, maybe they are cowards, or maybe they just don't want because they thought it was something that is not like "fiat" at all. Also we don't want to work hard, we just want things that is easier to have like fiats.

That just shows how the influence of BTC is increasing. More and more people are avoiding ordinary currency and moving to crypto. BTC and other cryptocurrencies are becoming more accessible and I believe that there will be a time when we will be able to get them anywhere.

This clearly shows mass adoption indeed! It is good to see that the community is accepting cryptos today unlike before. Today a lot of businesses are already accepting bitcoin and there are some grocery store that are selling bitcoin. Having bitcoin today is much easier compared before wherein you need to have knowledge from the exchanges to buy it. Today, you just need to go to the grocery store and buy bitcoin easily and conveniently.

It will advertise bitcoin and allow those newbies to learn how bitcoin can be bought. Although is not the actual process of buying and selling but a simple loading a like station for crypto buyers. The industry needs many exposures like this in order to reach out for more people to support Bitcoin.

It's all about how crypto pep's will helps the expansions of this investment currency, keep supporting and continue to move forward.

more big or popular the city, more people know and will use that machine. people that dont know about bitcoin will ask and learn.
in my country, have three bitcoin atm and it placed on big city which a lot of visitor from other country. i dont know how popular the atm but its good for bitcoiners.
