Bitcoin Forum

Bitcoin has now reached in some countries in AFRICA and this is very good to bitcoin users. An ATM machine for bitcoin has been launched in kenya and so lets call bitcoin a long last crypto currency for ever. it will stay.

You can only congratulate Kenya, I would also like that there would be ATMs for Bitcoin in my country

this is amazing as day in and day out several people and countries come to embrace the benefits of blockchain technology. This is a good start in kenya and i hope other countries would also follow suit so that the legalization of bitcoin would surely be a success.

Kenyan peoples are very lucky to got that and also its a greet news.

This is a very big news that was waiting for a lot of people in The African continent. Now this should not stop. There are still a lot of countries in which there are no ATMs, and there is not even an exchange where you can buy or sell Bitcoins. UAE, KENYA - what will be the next country?

Still pretty good news, even though I really really dislike purchasing on bitcoin ATM machines due to the overkill fees. At least they have a way of buying bitcoin anonymously, I guess? (Depending if the bitcoin ATM machines have surveillance cameras on them or not)

It is good to know, Bitcoin helped a poor country and I believe that bitcoin can help some poor country to become rich using cryptocurrency.  It is based on how knowledge you have and how business minded you are.  If one county that uses crypto then they cooperate to each other then it could be great because some money of other country must get by some poor, the tendency was the rich one do loss money into a poor because crypto was for the whole world.  If you don't enough knowledge about investing on some good coin or any investment on crypto, then you lose.

At least you have an ATM machine around you and you know how it feels to work with it being the crypto machine! Must be great feeling while entering into it and coming out with crypto based transaction.  8)

We have no such place in my country and there are sarcastically more users of it but government is unable to process any law regarding that one.

I think over the time fees may get reduced the same way we pay for the fiat ATM's. Its just about the time when user base will get more and more prompt for such ATM's and it will help grow it.

I sure hope so. I personally think the only way to get the fees/cuts lessened is to have increased competition. If buying bitcoin through ATMs becomes so hot that lots of companies release their own ATMs, they would want to lower their cuts to have competitive prices.

Such a great news, this is what you can only get from a country that doesn't see Bitcoin as a threat to it's financial system rather as a development.
I hope other African countries will start thinking in that direction.

not always an investor must HODL, because it could be bitcoin prices will not rise again. HODL is only for par investor (investor who does not use the main asset in his investment)

This a huge success for bitcoiners in Kenya. The atm machine is such a wonder outcome of their efforts. If this is trueI salute to those who made this atm machine posible. Congratulations to all our bothers and sisters in [Suspicious link removed]munity Kenya base.

Good news for Kenya people and it will be a good start also cor the crypto community there to be easier way to use bitcoin for daily needs, but I want to know what is the reference rate for bitcoin to be used in ATM by obtaining FIAT?

Well that is good for the country of kenya and the bitcoin holders around the world ,because it is starting to be recogniized and accepted in this country and it might also happen in the neighboring countries there in africa.this will booster the name of bitcoin in kenya and trusted  this crypto for good.when you travel kenya then you can use your bitcoin account there.

this is good news, and Kenya is the second country in Africa build bitcoin atm, precisely in the capital of Nairobi
the first country in Africa that built bitcoin atm is South Africa, about 4 years ago

https://cryptodaily.co.uk/2018/06/kenya-has-its-first-bitcoin-atm/

If a developing country like Kenya can have a bitcoin ATM, there’s no reason for other nations not to have one. I guess their leaders know what’s good for their country.

It is a good news if it is true. Somehow we can consider it as a development towards cryptocurrency. It is not an easy way to do but someday it will slowly be adopting the digital currencies, it will only start as that.

Totally agree, I wish bitcoin atm implementation will be much greater worldwide so everyone can have an easy outlet to get their hands on some corn. I think Africa has been overlooked as a massive potential market for crypto, there's a lot of wealth around there contrary to popular belief, and I think marketing efforts should target and include that continent more.

Well done to Kenya, anyone here tried that machine? I'll admit I was sceptical about these ATMs. Chiefly because of the high fees, and the fact you've to go out in public to buy them. Still not sure I like the idea of buying Bitcoin out in the open (never tried it myself). Also not sure where the appeal is coming from when it seems far easier/safer/cheaper to buy p2p.

But with the numbers of them growing all over the world, and in some of the weirdest places, I suppose they're making money after all. The two that opened in my country in 2014 eventually closed down and were never replaced. Maybe the world is finally ready for them.

I know this news I read it a few days ago in an article. hopefully this will be a good start for bitcoin and hopefully other countries can legalize bitcoin and ATM machine bitcoin will be everywhere

this news is really great for kenya  people who love crypto they got new ATM machine in - Nairobi at Westlands area Approx 3 km from central business district. , Now they can buy Bitcoin and Litecoins instantly in cash. As per news sources , keniya people they can buy worth 5$ bitcoin with cash.

to buy bitcoin they need to create  a new account first with this company. I hope this machine come to my place.

This is great. Maybe it will enlighten other countries. Changing people's vision of Bitcoin.

That is good news.  Bitcoin is now accessible in kenya and this only shows another adoption of Bitcoin in a country. I am looking forward to the mass adoption in each in every country.

Wow that was a great milestone and I felt proud for Kenya. It was a well done job and I'm hoping that it could be the start of new dynasty for bitcoin. It's just a proof of how strong bitcoin is and its capability to handle this kind of system. I'm looking forward for more of this kind of progress for bitcoin cause it offers a lot of opportunities.

I think it is a good source of information with bitcoin, it will grow stronger as you invest, you grow profitable for you.

It's really good to know that bitcoin system are continuously spreading all over the world and there will be much advance developments happened. I've already read some articles that says some countries are officially having ATM machine for buying Bitcoin which is very nice improvement and enhancement for bitcoin and maybe for the next few days there will be other countries that doing next to it.

This is another move for progress if bitcoin ATM will be spread the whole africa and next is the whole world,in asia there are many atm machine has been deployed in some countries and i believe this is only the start

The benefits of this action is to reached the investors so that they can buy bitcoin instantly whenever they are in ATMs and in time will give us opportunity to buy without using any sites

According to BitClub, the bitcoin ATM connects to various exchanges and picks the best exchange rate at the time of purchase. The exchange rate however seems to be much higher than the market rate, making it a bit more expensive.

Such formations should now take place in more countries. I can not believe that countries do not develop blockchain technology for people's benefit. Maybe they are away because of security issues, but they will have to go through a day.

It's a good news, Digital currencies become more popular in East Africa, hope it's not the only one.
According to the article I read stated that there are 15-20 people a day who used that ATM, particularly among younger people. It means Kenya had some of the largest Bitcoin holdings. The country has a good prospect.

I can see this is a great news for most bitcoin holder but it's for Kenya because they become one step better in their economic fundamental.

If Kenya really adopt bitcoin, I think inflation will be upon them that will lead everything gone expensive or I can be wrong !

It's great news and it's really brings additional points to bitcoin reputation because we all known that in the past few weeks there are lot of negative news spreading about it and probably it affects to the increasing number of it's adaptation process. However, for now it's really a good news that despite of many negative news spreading there are still people and country's that really trust, supporting and patronizing it in a way of making ATM machines for bitcoin.

The opening of a bitcoin atm machine in Kenya is another proof that bitcoin can and will last a lifetime. This is another achievement for  cryptocurrency world, although there is a disadvantage for this because btc or crypto owners will go in public  to go to this  machine. But yes, this is certainly a good step d hopefully other countries will follow in the future.

Oh Kenya, other African too should just adapt this blockchain technology into their system as i know they are other African countries developed more than Kenya like North Africa

This is one of the reasons why I do not use Bitcoin ATMs, because the fees are outrageous. The idea behind this technology is to offer a cheaper alternative to the current financial solutions, but the introduction of these Bitcoin ATMs, just add a lot of extra cost to your transactions and cancel out any advantage that Bitcoin might have had over other financial instruments.

Agreed, it is a good onramp for adoption, but the main focus of this exercise in these countries should be to offer a cheaper alternative to Banks/Cash/MoneyGram/Western Union and M-Pesa.  ::)

That's very much expected for bitcoin users in my country in the presence of ATM machines for bitcoin.
so if there is, we can directly use the ATM to shop something goods for our needs, without having to exchange first and then get the original currency.

ATM being launch in Kenya is a sign of major breakthrough of cryptocurrency in that country. The question most people ask if I tell them about bitcoin is how can I cash out in out country's traditional fiat currency. I believe if my country have atleast one ATM it will reduce my strength while explaining how to cash out bitcoin.

So because bitcoin ATM is being reported to have been launched in Kenya means that bitcoin is just reaching Africa. Internet has made the world global for those who are ready to make use of it and to have access and use bitcoin, you only need basic understanding of the internet and an average user of a smart phone is already endowed with such basic knowledge and that is very common in Africa. The launch of ATM have more of financial environment and its surrounding laws that the popularity of bitcoin.

If you do not want to get cryptocurrencies from mining, you can buy them from your friends or at the ATM. They have also come to my country where I have been living a few. I can only congratulate you on BTC ATM in Kenya - Nairobi. So far I have over ATM BTC did not buy, but I want to try it sometimes just for fun.

I think it would be a very nice initiative for many African nations to start adopting cryptocurrencies. It can help with economy in diverse ways.

It is growing rapidly. One day all of the countries will have this Bitcoin ATM.

Dose anyone know which country will launch the 3351 number AMT?

I think bitcoin will be big in Africa, it is safely kept away from the hands of the government. Anyone with wealth in Africa should invest in crypto, it is safer than buying diamonds and hiding them in a safe. Hope more ATM machines are set up over there

This was really great the ATM Bitcoin growing so fast wish my country will have one soon since our government bank didn't mind bitcoin to be use here. This rapid growth will surely make BTC more known and accessible for all which mean popularity more demand higher price.

Great news.Am wishing my counry to come next.By this bitcoin will again more popularity.

I think it's a very good news for crypto currency investors, due to this there will be more believe created. l wish more & more countries launched it in future.

if bitcoin has been recognized as a valid and official currency that can be used all over the world it is likely that not only Africans will get the machine all the countries will certainly make it

It's a good news. It's nice to hear improvements and developments on Bitcoin.

Wow this is a great achievement for Kenya and I hope it will inspire other countries to do the same thing. It's an amazing accomplishment and very good. A lot of opportunities has been unfold with this milestone. I'm looking forward for more kind of this news and hope other countries will follow the path.

Good news, also heard a bitcoin ATM machine was lunched in Zimbabwe. I am truly happy hearing that Africans are adopting bitcoin and soon we will have more African countries with a bitcoin ATM machine

I'm not sure bitcoin ATM will be very popular in the future, because it will be much easier to simply use your phone for example, or any equipment like that. Not saying these are not good new though, because it shows that there is still interest in BTC. Also, I think BTC will have a great future in underdeveloped countries first, so seeing it in Africa is probably a good thing.

It shows the increasing support of bitcoin over the African countries, long back itself in Zimbabwe bitcoin is suggested to overcome economic downfall. Recently Nigerian business people used bitcoin for large scale transactions as they were to carry big sum of fiat as there currencies were in inflation.

It is very good to think about it because if they really get the ATM machine, they are very lucky. They will be used in more transparent transactions, the Confidence Level will be higher among them

Zimbabwe also has ATMs and now Kenya, perhaps the cryptocurrency market is moving to Africa, I also know there are many trading floors are also moving headquarters to Africa. I hope this is an opportunity for African countries to transform their economies to grow stronger.

I'm happy for Kenya and it's just the beginning. I wish more countries around the world to follow the Kenya initiative. In this article you can see more details. Kenya is the latest Country to launch its Own Cryptocurrency Atm (http://www.konbini.com/ng/lifestyle/kenya-is-the-latest-country-to-launch-its-own-cryptocurrency-atm/)
The ATM users can dispensing Litecoin and Bitcoin in exchange for cash. ATM was developed by BitClub, a Kenyan startup.
This project happily achieved is innovation and a merit for Kenya. I do not doubt that any of you want an ATM like this in your country.

There was a time when there were many speculations about Bitcoin, many people had the hope that when the crypto king would be established? Those days began to come because I saw a post earlier, where it has been said about Bitcoin's ATM! Belgium has 8 Bitcoin ATMs. Now seeing the bitcoin ATM in Kenya is also being seen in this topic. I do not know whether the things are true! But it is understood that Bitcoin's future is well-established.

Oh another great news for us and can you share the link news for the proof, Africa Bitcoin as virtual cryptocurrency because they knows the benefits can get adopting this new decentralized currency how to help their economic growth because as i know Africa  is one of the state have an poverty crisis.

This is really a great news. I hope ATM machines for crypto will be set up more in many countries. And this is really an awesome initiative to attract people in this industry. Through this process people will be more interested in crypto.

I congratulate the kenya for the development of their knowledge of bitcoin. Certain ATM Bitcoin Machines will increase in Kenya and this will be the start of the economic growth of Kenya

Even though I think this is some cherry news for Kenya and Africa, I also will like it to spread to other Africa countries and more in the west Africa region.

Thank you for providing us with a link to the site, even though the OP did not do that to verify the source of his information.

Well when I read this, it again add up my excitement to the Bitcoin. I am one of those people that is so proud as a Bitcoin user. This is the first time for me to hear that Bitcoin has ATM machine. So, I also want this to be launched in our country. The crypto currency community is really keep on giving us interesting informations.

I was hoping that more countries will be able to launched such ATM machines. No the country of Kenya is one way step ahead to other countries that uses Bitcoin. I will be glad if our country will be able to have Bitcoin ATM machine to. This is another thing that will boost the name of Bitcoin to the community and be more popular.

This is good news, it's great that Kenya has started showing bituminous trees, which will promote new bitcoin development in the world. I hope more countries do the same thing as Kenya to make the exchange of bitcoin easier.

WOW. Congratulations for kenya. Hopefully in my country there will also be bitcoin ATM machines. Given only in some countries that have legalized bitcoin. But in my country bitcoin still not legalized but not also legalized. Hopefully my country can soon legalize bitcoin and there is a bitcoin ATM machine.

wow ATM bitcoin machine in kenya this is good news for crypto users in kenya, hope this will help bitcoin to increase and I hope that many countries adopting bitcoin.

The weakness of the value of the Kenyan currency against the dollar, making the government kenya decided to use bitcoin and other crypto money as currency.
And the existence of ATM bitcoin will make it easier for people to buy and send bitcoin faster.

This is good for African countries as they are now adopting the use of this technology, this what most of them needs for now to make their economic development stable...

I can only congratulate you at the BTC ATM in Kenya - Nairobi. So far I have more than BTC ATM not buy, but I want to try it sometime just for fun and if you do not want to get cryptocurrency from mining, you can buy it from your friends or at ATM

Fintech company from Nairobi BitClub opened the first ATM in the western part of the city, three kilometers from the central business district. In South Africa, the first bikkoyn ATM was installed four years ago. Zimbabwe and Djibouti also have one ATM. The latest data from CoinATMradar shows that around the world the number of ATMs has surpassed the number 3000 in mid-May and currently stands at 3125 machines.

superb news for all the bitcoin investors, because this plus point can affect the BTC price highly. In America, China, Russia will reach this progress in crypto soon.

Unexpectedly when there ATM bitcoin is located in a country like africa kenya. I hope the bitcoin will help people in poor country like kenya. I hope that one day my country will be like kenya

Bitcoin ATM machines have been around for many years now. Of course not many years in Africa yet, but definitely many years now in countries like the US. I can't remember exactly when they first came around, but it was probably 2013.

Its really good news for bitcoin user and who love bitcoin. Bitcoin is unstoppable and it grow and cover all over the world.In Kenya now people buy bitcoin with ATM and they take advantage of it.I think many other African country inspired with see Kenya.

Congratulations. Enjoy using Bitcoin ATM. How much for the seller fees?
here in CA USA the fee is 12.5%, so ridiculously high that not many people dare to use.

it is very convenient for the simplest citizens-to buy and use bitcoin. this is exactly what is needed for organic price growth

Those are good news but i do not think that it will make an advance on the entire community, this is good for the people that lives in there, but how are the fees? how does that machine works? maybe it is risky for some people

This is seriously a very good news and a thing a great achievement and a very great landmark for bitcoin, as we all know that bitcoin has made tremendous progress since 2008 , in the year it was introduced and has proved its existence and thus proving that it is very sustainable and versatile crypto currency, though bitcoin is going into controversy because of its illegal use and its improper regulation but still there are countries who are working with bitcoin and legalising it in their nation like Kenya who has introduced bitcoin atm machine.

I do not understand how ATM bitcoin works. Is it linked to the Internet and converting Bitcoin directly to real money? Can you tell us more about that?

This is a good news to the Bitcoin Enthusiast, I spotted same Bitcoin ATM in my country Nigeria recently, this will bring more people into Bitcoin investment

This is awesome Kenya in Africa? Then bitcoin is really doing well and spreading with its decentralized  gospel world over. Bitcoin will eventually rule over the world financial transaction let us watch it in the next coming decade. More countries will now follow Kenya may be Nigeria or South Africa.

it is good for cryptocurrency itself, bitcoin ATM need to spread and not only 1 in every country. i know i can't do that and only can talk  ;D, but if it is good for cryptocurrency, why not? let's keep support it can be happen

Well, if so that is good news for both Kenya and bitcoin. An advantage for Africans who have been ravaged by continuous hyperinflation is that bitcoin is an international asset that cannot be inflated away by central banks.

Bitcoin has now reached in several countries in AFRIKA including the newest built in the country of Kenya, and this is great for bitcoin users. the more people use the bitcoin the better the future of Bitcoin, with the proliferation of Bitcoin ATM machines to countries on the face of this earth, the same as a good promotional media for Bitcoin. hopefully in the future will be much in the build of ATM Bitcoin machines.

BTC is gradually becoming a currency, and it has its ATMs. I realized that BTC would be a real currency like FIAT and no one doubted that it was FIAT or property. I am waiting for BTC to used as FIAT in daily payments.

That of Nigeria is on it's way.
And it's gonna motivate other Africans countries

I'm glad to hear that!

It is a new trend to evaluation  and transaction currencies. It will be support for new generation.

Great news to hear that, so think more countries will be able to provide same service soon.

Wow , i really hope that it will spread around the world, because many people uses bitcoin and need this atm machine for bitcoin. I hope it will adopt by other countrys.

Yeah that is great! Kudos to them. It is great to see blockchain becoming a great tool for the Africa to higher their quality of life.

Wow that is so good for them. They now can experience using atm for their bitcoin. I wish I could experience that too. I hope our country will use atm too, hopefully someday.

This is a good idea and investment scheme for the Government and the people. This will allow better use of bitcoin for other purposes like paying bills and is also a good source of advertising crypto currency finance. It's a viral means of passing the knowledge of bitcoin to the public. It will be good if other African countries can do the same.

This is a great thing about bitcoin that they have ATM machine. But how would it affect the situation of bitcoin now?

Wow thats good news ,great thing and they can already start using atm with their btc, i hope ATM machine
 will spread around the world, i would be more happy if my country will have it too,its proven how  btc change our lives convenient living.

Very good, I think need ATM in all countries in the world.
This is useful machines :) People will be use it 100%

Well, that s great news that Kenya a small country is also benefitted from the Bitcoin ATM machine and i wish this could happen in almost all the countries so that every person can get the benefits of this ATM machines. But i think what would be the Fees and charges. If it includes heavy charges and if for any reason the withdrawal limit if very high that we can't process a small BTC withdrawal request then it will be best that we don't use it, and you can better go for local cash request with some local agent or using the escrow system in localbitcoins.com.

I think ATM Machine cannot be easily execute
because it needs a high-end advanced technology wherein I think not all countries can easily adopt that thing and implemented as well.

Yes this is the good news for bitcoin future if this kind of ATM machine reach in every country then peoples will be familiar with this currency and market
condition will be good. i hope so this currency replace fiat currency in future also all transaction made by bitcoin and no need paper currency. so every country government should come next and think about  Bitcoin ATM.

This is a good news for Kenyans and hope to the crypto world.

I am very glad that the ATM machine is used in Kenya for real time. People without good opportunities working with it. Popularity of Bitcoin still grows up.

In Africa, BTC is heavily appreciated, in certain countries in Africa BTC is very much welcomed there, and now to think that ATM machines will also be made there, then I'd be happy to take a vacation there, I'd be happy to explore not only how BTC is appreciated there but to also take a look around the tourist spots and their culture as well, this is great, taking a step forward means that the economy will continue to grow.

The tendency is for the rich to lose money to the poor because the code is for the whole world. At least you have an ATM around you and you know how it feels to work with it's crypto machine! We have no such place in my country and there are more satirical users but the government can not handle any laws related to it. It's just about time when the user base will get more and more prompted for such ATMs and it will help develop it.

The information is very congratulatory, indicating that the penetration of Bitcoin and Crypto is growing. It will continue to spread until Bitcoin is recognized globally.

fun news and congratulations to the citizens of Kenya users who have been given a gift by the government. It will surely be more prosperous inhabitants and hopefully other countries will also follow like this. Because this is very useful and easier for all of us.

This event should now take place in more countries. this is good news and it's really brings additional points to bitcoin popularity because we all known that in the past few months. bitcoin recieve negative news and the price is declining.

It seems Bitcoin ATM is being built a lot in the cryptocurrency legitimate countries. I think in about two years, Bitcoin ATMs will be built around the world and I can withdraw cash whenever I want.

that's great news, but how many people in kenya use bitcoin? and is it really worth it? correct me if i'm wrong but i dont think kenya was the way to go .. I heard that buying bitcoins in Kenya is not easy task, but at the same time it has been ranked as the fifth highest bitcoin holder per capita- in the world

Wow! Great news for Kenya!

good news sir, and hopefully coming soon in my country and other countries atm bitcoin so that the existence of digital currency and ICO can be recognized and can be felt benefit by society wide and of course will easy in transaction between country

Good for African countries, what's now left is for other counterparts Africa country should also adopt this.

Wow, congratulations to Kenya, that is very good one to hear in part of Africa development, which has been working perfectly to circulate round the world by using bitcoin payment.

this is a very good development for us as bitcoin users. With the ATM bitcoin in kenya there must be a solid community to market bitcoin to the kenya community so bitcoin can have enormous progress in africa. I represent bitcoin users in asia are very happy if bitcoin can develop in africa

Congratulations to the State of Kenya who has adopted Bitcoin with ATM.

this is a best breakthrough for us for the future of Bitcoin, why?
because from now on every country starts receiving FIAT payments with BITCOIN. holaaaaaa

Oh, that's great news. The community of cryptocurrency lovers is growing. Digital currencies are becoming more popular in Kenya, despite warnings from experts. Cryptocurrency ATMs are becoming very popular all over the world.

This is amazing news. I am also from Africa though not a Kenyan. I hope my country also fall in line.the bureaucratic process involve in exchanging btc to our local currency  is a little bit streanuos .i think the is nothing as stress free as just inserting ur btc ATM into an ATM machine and withdrawing cash

It's great to realize that bitcoin framework are persistently spreading everywhere throughout the world and there will be much propel improvements happened. I've just perused a few articles that says a few nations are authoritatively having ATM machine for purchasing Bitcoin which is exceptionally decent change and upgrade for bitcoin and possibly for the following couple of days there will be different nations that doing beside it. In any case, for the present it's extremely an uplifting news that in spite of numerous adverse news spreading there are still individuals and nation's that truly trust, supporting and disparaging it in a method for making ATM machines for bitcoin.

I think this is a welcomed development for bitcoin, I think this is the first Africa and it will create a positive impact in bring a exposure of bitcoin in Kenya and other African Countries to emulate it and from there the popularity of bitcoin will massively increase in Africa. I know this will increase the number of bitcoin holders. 

Great news for us all! I hope this happens in other countries. Have you seen the ATM machine? was it equipped with surveillance and stuff?

I am very happy to hear this news. I just hope that my country, Indonesia, immediately give legal status on bitcoin and bitcoin ATM machine can reach my country. I rate this an improvement on bitcoin. The more ATM bitcoin so transact with bitcoin is easier. Bitcoin can more easily reach the step of becoming a legal and legitimate currency globally. The existence of this ATM machine as a sign that bitcoin still survive with a variety of great innovations.

Good news for us happy to heard about this news this is another achievement of bitcoin as currency because this is the goal of founder of bitcoin become number currency in the worldwide and it's possble if some country continue to adopt bitcoin.

it seems that bitcoin has been accepted by many people who initially atm bitcoin only available in dubai now has spread again and this proves that bitcoin is comfortable to use and good to invest.

That's a good news from bitcoin. Eventually bitcoin increasingly expanded its legal operating area. Hopefully, with the presence of this ATM machine, more people are aware of the benefits of bitcoin as a means of payment. With the presence of this ATM machine so transaction with bitcoin is easier and faster. We are not worried anymore with internet access from our device because there is an ATM that we can meet to transact with bitcoin. Okay, that's a bit of my idea.

and indeed countries like Kenya are the ones who will get the most benefits of the crypto currencies as the bank and payment systems are very limited in the mentioned country. Hope it will expand much more and make life easier for people.

Unsurprisingly bitcoin is so popular that there will soon be in every city

I found that ATM Bitcoin is being built in many major countries. It is possible that the governments of these countries are accepting Bitcoins, but they have not dared openly because they fear the countries in that region will protest when they announce the adoption of Bitcoin.

I hope someday Bitcoin ATM will be built in my country. ATM is really necessary for everyone. Because people can easily withdraw cash whenever they want with very cheap transaction fees compared to withdrawing Bitcoin from exchanges

Agree with your comments. I think we should talk to the government about building Bitcoin ATMs in major cities. Because many tourists will visit their country and can withdraw money with Bitcoin everywhere

this is amazing as day in and day out several people and countries come to embrace the benefits of blockchain technology. This is a good start in kenya and i hope other countries would also follow suit so that the legalization of bitcoin would surely be a success.It is based on how knowledge you have and how business minded you are.  If one county that uses crypto then they cooperate to each other then it could be great because some money of other country must get by some poor.

I am hoping that more countries will be able to launch such ATM machines. Not only the country of Kenya is a one-way step ahead to other countries that use Bitcoin. I will be glad if our country will be able to have a Bitcoin ATM machine too.

Kenya is one of the developed Africa countries and their economy is quite strong. With the introduction of ATM machine, it is possible that it will be found in many other africa states too very soon.

Bitcoin is spreading at a quick pace.  In 10 years will we all be using Bitcoin as our main currency?  The fact that it's in Kenya is amazing.  I have a feeling we will be blasting off soon to record highs.  I sense we are at the bottom in the 250-280 B market cap. 

Good to hear such countries now have direct access to bitcoin, this is how we can get cryptos more and more mainstream.

It quite remarkable that bitcoin is breaking new ground in Africa. Most of the English speaking countries in Africa are quite positive about bitcoin. There are some Nigerians in the core team of bezop. Crypto will hit the whole world by storm and bitcoin will herald this renaissance.

Really? This is incredible. how does it operate? can you tell us more about it please?

Good news!
it seems that bitcoin has been really globally accepted, although there are still some countries that prohibit the use of bitcoins but I am very confident in the future bitcoin will achieve its goal.

It is good to know, Bitcoin helped a poor country and I believe that bitcoin can help them to become rich using cryptocurrency. It is based on the knowledge you have and how smart you are.

That good news for everyone who play cryptocurrency. Slow but sure people arround the world accepting bitcoin and make bitcoin is virtual currency. I hope is not only in Kenya but another country can make ATM machine for bitcoin.

This is a major news that was sitting tight for many individuals in The African mainland. Presently this ought not stop. There are still a great deal of nations in which there are no ATMs, and there isn't even a trade where you can purchase or offer Bitcoins. UAE, KENYA - what will be the following nation?

What a great news, this is a great improvement for the world of crypto currency and if this can happen in all other country bitcoin will really increase in value

There are crypto currency ATMs not only in Kenya, but also in many other countries including Russia. The second step towards the popularization of the crypto currency will now be its legalization.

These steps of the crypto currency are part of our present life, and will soon be available to all segments of the population. This is great news, thanks for the topic.

Great news, but it's a pity that such automatic in poor countries, if they are around the world, it's very good

a very lucky country that has got an ATM machine for bitcoin exchange. But what if the area that has no internet network and ATM machine. this is very difficult for investors to trade in bitcoin. the government should give approval to expand the trading system and bitcoin transactions to this country for the benefit and progress of the community together ..

Kenya as 44% population below poverty line. If Bitcoin/Crypto can be accepted there, then it should encourage other countries too. This is indeed a great news for Kenya and crypto enthusiasts.

even in some large countries such as the United States for example has a lot of installed machine tool for penguinbilan bitcoin or so-called BTM bitcoin teller machine the more advanced and growing so rapidly bitcoin be a role model in the world crypto I hope for the future bitcoin can be legal in all countries

It Was really a great news.I know that people in kenya specially to the holders of bitcoin in kenya are very happy having Atm machine for bitcoin.Hope there are also machine here in our country.

It is true that's a good news for kenya.it is the most developed countries and this is a great promotion for the world of crypto currency.i hope one day bitcoin most of the countries ATM machine reached.

Ever known as the new atm become the place to withdraw bitcoin and buy bitcoin

its very interesting news, now bitcoin boom africa continental

correct. the people of Kenya are very berutung, with the availability of ATM machines mareka bitcoin can make deals as easily as local ATM

This is a welcome development in the world of cryptocurrency, if other African counties too can adopt this inovation in no time cryptocurrency would be a major means of payment which will enhance the international relationship of the countries, Bitcoin ATM would definitely ease and make bitcoin market blossom in African nations.

Advances in bitcoin technology such as bitcoin ATMs, should be able to expand even expanded even reach the entire world for the development of modern technology

 it is a positive move for bitcoin expanding in Kenya and other African counties bitcoin is decentralized  service to cash out in fait currency which is a positive move for crypto currency industry

Though I did not find this news on any website follow. But if this news real, then this is a great news for every crypto enthusiasts! Japan, Belgium and some other countries and now Kenya! Hope it will be growing and one day we will see Bitcoin ATM in every country.

wow thats nice! It just means that Bitcoin is being accepted in different areas in the world, slowly but still good news. I havent tried using Bitcoin ATMs
but we have several ATM machine for Bitcoin here in our country.

Did the ATM machine is integrated with banks ?
what's our input for getting payout our btc ? should we input card or something like that ? i really curious with the usage of bitcoin ATM

Installation of an ATM machine in Kenya will be adding many benefits to the economy of Kenya.  Tourism sector may develop due to this facility available in the country.  To reach the roof we have to use stairs and have to step on first step first and second and so on and ultimately the person reaches the top of the house.
Due to limited number of ATMs presently the services are costly.  I think with the passage of time more and more ATM will be installed; more service providers will be providing this service and so the services will be available cheap.

If this is legit, then it's a great news, it means that bitcoin is dominating a lot of countries, it is possible that Kenya might influence its neighborhood which is also a good news. If it's legit, then we should expect some increase of price in the market.

I'm glad to hear that!

great 'is good news. will it be in every country like this. I believe in the future of bitcoin. and the cryptocurrency bitcoin that will remain forever

This is good news for Africa people. I hope it come to my country soon.  I can't wait to see it soon. Bitcoin will be accepted worldwide soon. The technology is very amazing I love bitcoin and I will make it known to the world. For the pass 3 years I have been benefiting from this technology. Bitcoin is changing life's. I love this good news from Kenya , we hope to see in more other African countries. 

for a developing country like kenya already adopting an atm machine for bitcoin that's a good thing and beat the developing world. maybe other developed countries can be used as a motivation to use a bitcoin special atm machine to make it easier for bitcoin users.

Some Bitcoin ATMs offer bi-directional functionality enabling both the purchase of Bitcoin as well as the sale of Bitcoin for cash. In some cases, Bitcoin ATM providers require users to have an existing account to transact on the machine.
A Bitcoin ATM is a machine that allows people to buy Bitcoins with hard cash. Some machines allow selling of Bitcoins for money, but these kind of machines are often hard to come by.

I just found out that in some cases bitcoin atm providers require having an account first. and bitcoin atm is a purchase only with cash. what withdrawal in the form of bitcoin to cash can?

Thats great news for the kenya and African Crypto community as a whole what's now left is other African counterparts should join the revolution.

It regards know, Bitcoin helped a poor nation and I trust that bitcoin can assist some poor nation with becoming rich utilizing digital currency. It depends on how learning you have and how business disapproved of you are.

On the off chance that one region that utilizations crypto then they coordinate to each other then it could be incredible on the grounds that some cash of other nation must get by some poor, the inclination was the rich one do misfortune cash into a poor in light of the fact that crypto was for the entire world.

Kenya get the bitcoin ATM? its very good news for bitcoin user and investor because I think it makes change in cryptocurrencies and the structure of it, i hope after Kenya all country will have their own Bitcoin ATM, to makes changes digital currency that we know

It seems that Kenya is an awesome country since bitcoin has an ATM machine for many bitcoin user and investor will be have an easy access. Also its a good point for cryptocurrency to help the poor countries in Africa to develop and be able to learn how cryptocurrency  works which sooner and later may help them.

Kenya are always on front news in the cryptocurrency market in the whole of African followed by some other who are also trying to adopt like South Africa etc.

That what's up when peolple start believing in something - you can see it effect on real life situation.

I hope more and more ATM will spread all around the world so everyone, even those who are not so well thought with web thing can buy their own coin.
Keep up bright guys!

I am really very happy because so many countries accept an ATM machine. It looks like Bitcoin get more population in the world.

If it is true, then I am happy for the people in different countries of africa since they can experience a more convenient and easy way of investing and managing their crytos in Bitcoin. Yet still sad since my country doesnt have this like of atm machine. Hoping to have here!

I never have any doubt in my mind about bitcoin staying forever, nobody can stop it. For ATM machines it is very welcome development and I waiting to see it in Nigeria so that it will serve as an evidence for us that are into crypt business in Nigeria.

I am very happy to know about it because I still believe in there good opportunities in the future for all of us who use Bitcoin. New Technologies connected to this cryptocurrency is very well in our daily life.

Well I was amazed by the progress of this very innovative bitcoin. The more countries that accept the presence of ATM bitcoin the more users. I am sure with the presence of this ATM then the transaction with bitcoin could be easier. We can at any time find this ATM to make transactions especially when our internet connection is bad or dead so we can easily transact with bitcoin through ATM. I can only hope that more countries will accept the presence of bitcoin without fear of national fiat currency replaced. I'm sure that bitcoin will not replace any currency, bitcoin just wants to complement the limitations of fiat currency.

This is a good news and this also means that Africa has embraced bitcoin. The other day I heard that Zimbabwe is now using bitcoins as official means of transaction because of the super hyper inflation in that country. Bitcoin is now helping to dress the economic woes of Zimbabwe.

This is a very good news. This is a great achievement which has been achieved by bitcoin. Because many countries government is against bitcoin or cryptocurrency. And they are continuously taking major action against bitcoin. And on the other side, Kenya has adopting blockchain technology. And helping in bitcoin's growth. Bitcoin Atm machine is the great example of their government, by giving massive support to bitcoin.

Thats a good news you all you guys  i have been try bitcoin ATM already and i feel realy good fast and secure atm but the only problem i saw is there is an expensive transaction fee in it but if there is no any other remerances that not accepting your bitcoin then atm is realy good choice.

It’s a great news that bitcoin will really be recognize in terms of automated machines to sustain perhaps (fiat to btc) by this way. Consequently, it is very good to say that it will develop into its legitimacy since other countries do not believe in bitcoin. Nonetheless, it is really effective to identify the best practices which relate to bitcoin to know how are we going to meet with the expected future and the aim of investors to attain their maximized goals.

Its a great news it reached over in any country so theres a posibilities that bitcoin will improve in that particular country it has a chance to grow and that country will develop in terms of transaction in any businesses i hope it could helps in thoer country and lot people will enjoy.

Such a nice news. Congratulations to crypto family. I hope we might get such a news daily that 'a new bitcoin ATM has been installed.'
But in my country there is no bitcoin ATM :'( I hope it might be possible to install a bitcoin ATM in my country.

That is too much interested, no doubt that it is a very good news for bitcoin, it shows that now bitcoin popularity has spread out even in backward countries of the world. I think that we will hopefully see some other backward countries even where people will give a positive response to bitcoin investment.

This is a good news to the Bitcoin Enthusiast, I spotted same Bitcoin ATM in my country Nigeria recently, this will bring more people into Bitcoin investment

Great news to the bitcoin users in kenya, this will increase bitcoin popularity and will attract more investors to the bitcoin community and I see bitcoin gaining more grand.

Wow Good news am really hoping for the day it'll get to my own country and looks like kenya is the first african country that has gotten the first opportunity to acctually own a bitcoin machine, but i hear that the fees charged is actually on the high the thing is how can it be stable for everyone to be able to use it when it goes viral 

I have two or three of them in my city, and what is amazing for me that my country is not having any legal position about bitcoin and cryptocurrency, but we are already having those ATMs around here.

This is great news about bitcoin, the acceptance of bitcoin in kenya shows with time all orther countries will key into it.I strongly believe if it continues like this, I see bitcoin becoming acceptable worldwide

waw is good i just found out this i think bitcoin is getting more popular now with this bitcoin atm obviously will help people to further popularize crypto and bitcoin

 :o :o :o congratulate Kenya, I'm awaiting for ATMs in my country.

I've been wondering about the fees when buying at these ATM's. We are still patiently waiting for the one in South Africa. We did have some around 2014 but I guess not too many people knew about Bitcoin here. But I guess I will have to wait and see.

EDIT: Never mind, I see it is operational now, Guess what I'm doing this weekend  ;D ;D ;D

I wonder how many use that bank when the people in that country, their still be starving for food and water.

Now thats what you call a Good News, As more and more countries embrace Blockchain technology, it will help Cryptocurrency market.

This will open doors to new investors and create a positive atmosphere, which eventually should lead to other countries removing Ban and legalizing Bitcoin.

This is good, maybe Kenyans would realize that Bitcoin is a good investment too. Let's just hope that they would install more ATM Machines for Bitcoin.

Progress that really means that bitcoin can be accepted and recognized with its own ATM, hopefully it will continue to other countries.

Its really good to hear a news like this because we all know that it will have an impact to bitcoin and cryptocurrency even if its not a big one. I hope that bitcoin not only spread all over the world but be accepted too by all of the countries worldwide.

This is a really great news for the people of Kenya. Now they can easy, secure and fully anonymous buy bitcoins. Getting a Bitcoin ATM are only the first step in Kenya I'm sure we will see many interesting start ups companies on the blockchain in years to come.

Installation of an ATM machine in Kenya will be adding many benefits to the economy of Kenya.  Tourism sector may develop due to this facility available in the country.A Bitcoin ATM is a machine that allows people to buy Bitcoins with hard cash. Some machines allow selling of Bitcoins for money, but these kind of machines are often hard to come by.

Great news and it is a big impact in crypto world because there another country accepted bitcoin, I hope the other countries follow this steps, and for sure we will used bitcoin more in the future and it will be recognize as of the global currency.

This is good news that every day we hear and see on the map that new regions of our globe are opening new ATMs of cryptocurrencies, where you can buy or sell cryptocurrencies. This is great news for all of us.

It's a good news. I know that such ATM machines are in some countries of Europe. The next time should be more favorable than the beginning of 2018 and I think we will see many more ATM machines for cryptocurrencies.

This is a very good news indeed. Hoping for more country to adopt bitcoin, inorder for every investors not to feel the burden in doing transaction in a not so good manner because of the barriers. As of this moment we need to persuade the government amd other peopl to believe in the power of bitcoin. Bitcoin has a huge potential amd that isthe reason why it is called the king.

very good news for Kenyan Bitcoiners.

Wow a very good news to hear that ATM machine for bitcoin is now available in Kenya. I hope that all countries will have an ATM machines in the future so that we the bitcoin holders and investors can withdraw money through that ATM machines.

When I see that news I'm very happy because I understand that Bitcoin became more popular from the day to day. So people really will understand abilities of it and want to use it to earn money for themself.
