About 20,000 Bitcoin ATM was installed in 2021 and that has not stopped as the have been an installation of over 3,000 Bitcoin ATM in the first quarter of the year 2022. This data was show on the news:

The installation of 3000 more bitcoin ATMs are a proof for the same. Though there is regular installation of bitcoin ATM, it isn't possible to see the same diversified around the globe. Only in specific locations the bitcoin ATMs were getting installed. Maybe this need to get diversified beyond the first world countries where 90% of the bitcoin ATMs were installed.
Title: Re: Three thousand Bitcoin ATM Installed In first quarter Of 2022 Post by: DdmrDdmr on April 04, 2022, 05:48:25 PM To try to see where the increase of bitcoin ATMs takes place during Q1, we can take a look at the growth chart (https://coinatmradar.com/charts/growth/) and subsequent territorial charts. The readings are slightly shifted from those in the article (slight date shift), but boil down to:

While the numbers are definitely on a rise, I am afraid the news does not put me on as much hopium as I wish it did. Call me boring but long as Know Your Customer is enforced, it is not like they help with anything besides taking a big cut of your money AND forcing you to give up personal information.

Title: Re: Three thousand Bitcoin ATM Installed In first quarter Of 2022 Post by: Dean2 on April 04, 2022, 08:22:58 PM Although bitcoin ATMs are a great way to spread the word of bitcoin and integrate it better in the society (the more the better) but they still have one big downside and that is the high fees which can reach upto 15% in some ATMs.traditional ATMs on the other hand don't have a withdraw fee and even if they do it's usually just couple dollars so i think that bitcoin ATMs still have a big room to improve to become trully viable.
Title: Re: Three thousand Bitcoin ATM Installed In first quarter Of 2022 Post by: Upgrade00 on April 04, 2022, 08:43:05 PM Are there any approximate metrics for how many of these have mandatory Know Your Customer integrated? I'm not aware if any such information is compiled already, but you can research on the individual manufacturers of Bitcoin ATMs and check up their privacy policy.From content I've followed on the forum, it appears majority of ATMs have a sort of private gateway which is needed to verify your identity, this could be a mobile number.

Come when there will be a crackdown, it is safer to stay out of the radar even before it starts. It's not really 3K but less this Q1 of the year but convincing enough to say people must have been buying BTC thru the ATMS installed in the cities. It would be interesting to see the demographics of who is buying from the machines, I suspect the majority are teens, and it's for gambling reasons.

So pls I am to ask this question.Code: Area 01/04/2022 01/01/2022 Diff Q1 If this Bitcoin ATM safe?. Knowing the due processes involved when spending your Bitcoin from your personal wallets made me to think of how safe our personal details will be in the ATM. Pls shade more light. Title: Re: Three thousand Bitcoin ATM Installed In first quarter Of 2022 Post by: Fundamentals Of on April 05, 2022, 10:11:43 AM I cannot see an increase with the figures given. If the year 2021 saw an installation of 20,000 Bitcoin ATMs, and in the first quarter of the year 2022 saw only 3,000, then within this year the number of Bitcoin ATMs installed might decrease compared to last year. That is, if the remaining quarters of the year would only have around 3,000 Bitcoin ATM installation each. So the rate of Bitcoin ATM installation doesn't have a high increase. 2021 had a high increase. 2022 will have a decrease.
Title: Re: Three thousand Bitcoin ATM Installed In first quarter Of 2022 Post by: DdmrDdmr on April 05, 2022, 11:13:17 AM <…> That is something to consider on a country basis y country. Even within a single country, the specific ATM company you are going to be using may vary in requirements from the next. Overall, some, to date, still do not require KYC under a certain threshold; others require you to provide a phone number, whilst some require KYC with Id Scans and so forth. The information they therefore have on you will vary depending on their KYC policy, subject to the country’s legislation on the matter (which can and will vary as time goes by). Now from there on, an ATM company is going to be in possession of the information it obtains, and besides forwarding some to the taxation office if required, it may or may not make proper custody of your data (as any other company). We see leaks and hacks in general terms rather frequently, and any company is potentially subject to it. One additional thing to consider is how you carry out your address management when using ATMs or other entities. Normally you should consider the strategy you need to use in order for a merchant/corporation from being able to snoop through your complete/partial TX history, and even more so if it could be tied to KYC information. Title: Re: Three thousand Bitcoin ATM Installed In first quarter Of 2022 Post by: yazher on April 05, 2022, 11:32:22 AM This is one indication that we are not turning back again and we are gonna proceed and step forward with our new normal regarding our financial activities. The growth of the crypto industry for the past years has no matched compared to this year's growth we are still in Q1 and many positive things have already happened. If we still have this kind of massive ATM installation all around the world this upcoming months, prepare for the positive impact and increase of the price. People are slowly making changes about adopting cryptocurrencies and it would be good if we will have another bull-run this year too.

That indication is the thrilling point for me, not minding that Africa is nowhere to be found in this scheme of things towards mass adoption for Bitcoin. Governments in Africa are busy making attempts to dissuade their citizens from actively indulging in this new tech. Reason isn't far fetched from the fact that they don't want financial freedom for their people. Look at where the world is today, and look at how Africa lags behind in far distance. It's a shame, really.

Cryptocurrency is the future of finance and money also but Bitcoin is the decentralised currency.

I've seen some guides from @DdmrDdmr source that really require a lot of effort to setup, but this is good business. I will leave the link below. But first, you must determine whether bitcoin is legal or illegal in your country, because you cannot operate it if it is illegal.From what I researched, you need to first buy the bitcoin machine (you need to research any local dealers of this machine). For the US, there is Chainbytes, and then you need to register the machine for compliance. For the US, you need to register it in BTMCompliance. After registering, you need to setup the wallet and also decide where you would like to put your machine. There are a lot of tutorials online, but you really need to state where you are planning to put this so that you can find a reliable source for getting the machine and registering it.

Some are in stores that have not been open for months. Other machines and even entire businesses that have BATMs are not listed at all as far as I can see.

The fact that more and more Bitcoin ATM are installed is a good thing and hopefully Bitcoin will be widely used around the world.

Title: Re: Three thousand Bitcoin ATM Installed In first quarter Of 2022 Post by: DdmrDdmr on April 06, 2022, 09:11:09 AM My guess is that, within Europe, separate charts for specific countries were created to enable a visual drill-down on some of the major countries where ATMs were making a significant rise, and reached a respectable volume (the view wasn’t always like that (https://web.archive.org/web/20190101192919/https://coinatmradar.com/charts/growth/)).
Negative increases are decreases (there are less ATMs now in some countries than at the beginning of the year). Currently, KYC will vary from country to country as per their regulations, and it could range from being necessary for any TX, to being necessary for TXs above a certain threshold. The KYC itself, when required, can sometimes be a scan of your Id, but in other instances providing a cell phone will suffice (you’d normally need to have it handy to complete the TX though, since they'd normally send you and SMS with a code that you need to complete the TX).

I think there we see separate countries just to stress where most of European ATM situated. If they post 1000 ATM in Europe, people might think that they would find an ATM in every European country, but in reality it might turn that 500 ATMs are in Spain, 499 in Austria and 1 in "rest Europe". For example it is said that Europe has 1378 ATM units, while there is 0 in my country and coinatmradar.com shows we have dozens of them (answer - little shops that accept Bitcoin (I havent checked that info) mark themselves (or coinatmradar does) as an ATM).

This data was show on the news: https://news.bitcoin.com/tracker-shows-close-to-3000-crypto-atms-were-installed-in-2022s-first-quarter/ Just a quick question for everyone, has anyone tried using any Bitcoin ATMs installed in your respective countries? Are the transaction fees high; and is the process also relatively fast? So how would this operate- the Bitcoin ATM would issue currency after such exchange? Fortunately in the Philippines, our local exchanges offer instant conversion from Bitcoin to our currency (Peso) in which you can directly pay your bills or purchase any products/services. The only downside is, the conversion rates in our exchanges are abysmal to the point that the price gap compared when you purchase vs sell is just high.

Other countries where Bitcoin machines are located are: Nigeria (1), Kenya (1), Djibouti (1), Ghana (2), Botswana (1), Zimbabwe (1), Uganda (1). However, it's hard to tell if the machine actually work in some of these locations. https://www.talk-business.co.uk/2020/12/23/bitcoin-atms-how-they-work-and-where-to-find-them-in-africa/#:~:text=Ghana%20bitcoin%20ATMs,is%20a%20local%20IT%20firm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin_ATM#:~:text=There%20are%20a%20total%20of,%2C%20Durban%2C%20Johannesburg%20and%20Pretoria. Title: Re: Three thousand Bitcoin ATM Installed In first quarter Of 2022 Post by: Poker Player on April 07, 2022, 06:05:38 AM To try to see where the increase of bitcoin ATMs takes place during Q1, we can take a look at the growth chart (https://coinatmradar.com/charts/growth/) and subsequent territorial charts. The readings are slightly shifted from those in the article (slight date shift), but boil down to: Code: Area 01/04/2022 01/01/2022 Diff Q1 I am not surprised to see that the number of ATMs in Europe and the UK has decreased. What happened in the UK has already been commented on the forum: Bitcoin ATMs forced to shutdown in the UK (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5389248.0) In Europe I guess it is more or less the same: implementation of stricter KYC/AML policies. The only attraction that this type of ATMs can have is to buy/sell without KYC, as they have very high fees, and to pay those fees and on top of that with KYC, better to buy or sell where the fees are considerably lower. There may be other specific cases of people who like to try ATM with small amounts, but non-KYC seems to me to be the main reason to use them. Title: Re: Three thousand Bitcoin ATM Installed In first quarter Of 2022 Post by: darkv0rt3x on April 07, 2022, 07:28:54 AM My guess is that, within Europe, separate charts for specific countries were created to enable a visual drill-down on some of the major countries where ATMs were making a significant rise, and reached a respectable volume (the view wasn’t always like that (https://web.archive.org/web/20190101192919/https://coinatmradar.com/charts/growth/)). Negative increases are decreases (there are less ATMs now in some countries than at the beginning of the year). Currently, KYC will vary from country to country as per their regulations, and it could range from being necessary for any TX, to being necessary for TXs above a certain threshold. The KYC itself, when required, can sometimes be a scan of your Id, but in other instances providing a cell phone will suffice (you’d normally need to have it handy to complete the TX though, since they'd normally send you and SMS with a code that you need to complete the TX). Oh, forget it. I missed that the 1st column is actually the most recent date. And 2nd column is the oldest date. I missed that detail when I first look at the table/chart and for instance for UK I was seeing 23 ATMs at the beginning of the year and 99 as of now. So, this would be an increase. However, the 3rd column is showing -76 which was weird to me. But I just noticed that the 1st column is is actually the most recent date! Forget it! :p Why are some European countries separated from Europe even if they are part of Europe? Like Spain and Switzerland? Any special reason? Also, why is an increase in the number of ATMs represented as a negative number? Anyway, 2k machines in the USA is an amazing increase. I would like to see more in my own country, despite the fact that the fees are probably too high. Does these machines have any kyc?? I think there we see separate countries just to stress where most of European ATM situated. If they post 1000 ATM in Europe, people might think that they would find an ATM in every European country, but in reality it might turn that 500 ATMs are in Spain, 499 in Austria and 1 in "rest Europe". For example it is said that Europe has 1378 ATM units, while there is 0 in my country and coinatmradar.com shows we have dozens of them (answer - little shops that accept Bitcoin (I havent checked that info) mark themselves (or coinatmradar does) as an ATM). Yeah, maybe, probably. Anyway, an increase is always good. However, there is many people still concerned with KYC and high fees. Title: Re: Three thousand Bitcoin ATM Installed In first quarter Of 2022 Post by: TheGreatPython on April 07, 2022, 09:20:09 AM While there are many ATM's being installed worldwide , my question is do the ATM machines for Bitcoin really receiving support from users? Depending on the region you are in. Sometimes you do not "need" a business, but it is better to have alternatives and in some regions it is like that. We do have a grocery store around my house for example, but there are 3 more in a 2 mile radius too, should we close them all down?if yes then this is indeed great news but what if people has more option in trading their bitcoin into fiat and vise versa? like in my region , there are so many places where i can buy and sell bitcoin or couple of altcoins without the need to go in ATM machines in which mostly installed in strategic places? but yes this is one proof that the increase of Bitcoin user worldwide is really spreading . It is basically a competition type of deal and I believe that it is working quite well. ATM for bitcoin is just an idea and provides an alternative to people who would like to use them, people who do not trust exchanges and that is how they get their coins. It is not super simple to use, but it is not difficult at all neither. Hence why it has been established in so many new places. Title: Re: Three thousand Bitcoin ATM Installed In first quarter Of 2022 Post by: virasog on April 07, 2022, 09:25:44 AM Bitcoin adoption around the globe is increasing with time. The installation of 3000 more bitcoin ATMs are a proof for the same. Though there is regular installation of bitcoin ATM, it isn't possible to see the same diversified around the globe. Only in specific locations the bitcoin ATMs were getting installed. Maybe this need to get diversified beyond the first world countries where 90% of the bitcoin ATMs were installed. Once we have more and more bitcoin ATMs installed in first world countries, there are higher probabilities that the under developed countries will follow the same practice. However, only those county can install these public ATMs where the government have no problem with these installations. If bitcoin is not legal in any country, there is no way we can see those machines in those countries. Making bitcoin legal in countries is the first major sign of bitcoin adoption.

Lucky are those countries that have Bitcoin ATMs installed and ready to use by most crypto users for they will be able to use their Bitcoins without any hassle. It will surely be another reason for more people to adapt and use Bitcoin as a currency. I hope that more countries would also experience using Bitcoin ATMs in the future because it would really cause convenience for all of us. Title: Re: Three thousand Bitcoin ATM Installed In first quarter Of 2022 Post by: SpenserReed on April 17, 2022, 04:25:04 AM As the rate of Bitcoin ATM increased it has become evident that holders of Bitcoin can spend their Bitcoin at any shops or outlet, this give Bitcoin the mainstream adoption and the rate of Bitcoin ATM increase to a very high and the previous year 2021 saw where bitcoin ATM we're installed in gas stations and now pos outlets now accept Bitcoin debit cards for various transactions/payment. About 20,000 Bitcoin ATM was installed in 2021 and that has not stopped as the have been an installation of over 3,000 Bitcoin ATM in the first quarter of the year 2022. This data was show on the news: https://news.bitcoin.com/tracker-shows-close-to-3000-crypto-atms-were-installed-in-2022s-first-quarter/ Bitcoin integration does not depend on the number of ATMs. The most important thing is the BTC integration of bank payment for companies and individuals, not cash. Title: Re: Three thousand Bitcoin ATM Installed In first quarter Of 2022 Post by: uelque on April 17, 2022, 11:35:58 AM This is good news. Knowing thousands of bitcoin atm machines has been installed only in the first quarter of 2022 means there are more to come on the next quarters. And I'm proud that my country also have this in the city despite of being classified a third world country. And I'm sure that sooner or later we can finally see a world where large percentage of people are into bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. Probably the right time to add more bitcoin.
Title: Re: Three thousand Bitcoin ATM Installed In first quarter Of 2022 Post by: suryana on April 17, 2022, 09:07:07 PM 3000 bitcoin ATMs installed since 2022 is not such a small number of course this is very much awaited by bitcoin miners and hopes that the following years will increase the number of bitcoin ATMs, which indirectly makes bitcoin more popular and so many favored by miners and the public.we really hope that bitcoin ATMs can be added again in the following years

Title: Re: Three thousand Bitcoin ATM Installed In first quarter Of 2022 Post by: masterrex on April 18, 2022, 01:22:12 PM Wow that was amazing information about the Bitcoin development despite all of the attacks on Bitcoin and hostile regulation issues Bitcoin and the crypto industry manage to expand their services Imagine another three thousand Bitcoin ATMs were added for me that's living proof and testament for a continued Bitcoin and cryptocurrency development and I hope it will continue further.
Title: Re: Three thousand Bitcoin ATM Installed In first quarter Of 2022 Post by: Wiwo on May 09, 2022, 08:23:28 PM () Bitcoin adoption hasbeen on a steady rise lately even though we have not seen much positive growth in the price of Bitcoin lately with Bitcoin having a six weeks downtrend in Bitcoin price, Bitcoin development has seen significant growth with new Bitcoin ATMs and POS which provide easy gateways. for Bitcoin transactions in other to aid p2p payments.And also we saw how Bitcoin miner's activities have increased which is evident with the recent harsh rate all-time high which has happened consistently which indicate that miners' activities are growing despite the many regulations and attack with a ban on mining and the proposed movement from proof of work to proof of stake which many sees as a set back to the original content of Bitcoin. That being said Bitcoin has gained a wide range of publicity lately and that is what increases the number of Bitcoin services such as the ATMs being installed all around. |
