...will there be in the world by end of this year?

End of 2015?

End of 2016?

ATMs? None.

Vending machines? Lots. Then none.

Anticipating the whole world banning them?

When - on what trigger?

every big city has a bitcoin atm?
no. so, now Bitcoin ATM is too little

if bitcoin no broken, ATM will more.

Ban them? No, Mr. Bond, I expect them to die. By themselves. Wait not so much themselves. By the greed hand of the market actually. <- That's code speak for Bitcoiners doing everything they possibly can to destroy Bitcoin all day every day. Because they are. They just don't realize it.

Right now there are more than 100 of them, with seven each in Singapore and Vancouver. By the end of the year, we will be having 300-400 of them, as expansion plans are underway in UAE, Canada.etc. By the end of 2015, who knows? May be 5,000?

Just yesterday posted on reddit that we reached "100 Bitcoin ATM worldwide" milestone.
Today there are 103 on my Bitcoin ATM map (http://coinatmradar.com/).

My humble forecast:
End of 2014: 300-500
End of 2015: 1500-3000
End of 2016: 8000-12000

End of 2016: over 100k

We have one in our main city , but it only sells bitcoins, doesn't buy them :(. It's the first in Slovenia (2 million population country).

I expected exponential growth in coin map.org, but I am not seeing it so far. Perhaps that will still come.

Likewise I expect the same for coinatmradar, but I am also not so sure whether that will happen.

Perhaps with Skyhook releasing their open source cheap atm things will grow quicker.

I am hoping for around 3000 by end of this year and end of 2015 perhaps 15 000 end of 2015 and 100k end of 2016.

What makes you think there will be no arms by the end of this year?
