Title: There is a potential for even greater popularity
Post by: Jeremy-Whites on November 09, 2017, 02:23:25 PM
Companies that are installing ATMs are bringing more to the picture than simply providing sources of revue for themselves. When you think about it, a lot of people consider Cryptocurrencies in general to be a thing of the internet and that's about it. An awesome way to spark up the interest of ignorant people or skeptics would be to install ATMs because all of sudden this "bitcoin thing" manifests into the real world.

Well, yeah, having btc atms more commonplace would be more helpful. It's really a bit of a hassle to send the money to my bank account before taking it from the bank's atm since there's a delay of a few hours. Hardly the what we want for "instant".

I hope they install more in urban centres because it only makes sense to grow the popularity this way. However, I live in one myself and have yet to encounter these atms there must be seldom of them around that it makes it a bit of a hassle to go through a btc transaction irl right now.

edit: Wow the fees are ridiculous I would never even consider using one of these stupid machines. Lower the fees to make it more mainstream imo.
