PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — A brand new bitcoin ATM has been installed in Philadelphia.
Inserting cash only to have it disappear into cyberspace would anger a typical ATM user, but for bitcoin holders, that’s the goal.
“Some people travel like an hour distance to get here to use this ATM,” said the store owner.
This bitcoin ATM went online just one week ago inside of the Philly Dream Shop on South Street.
“It’s kind of a land grab in our industry just because there is so much opportunity out there and Philadelphia just got a lot of the elements we are looking for,” said Sheffield Clark, Coinsource Managing Partner.
Bitcoins are a form of cyber currency. They have no physical shape and exist only in a user’s cyber account. Their values rise and fall similar to Wall Street commodities.
