Just bought Bitcoin from a train ticket machine in Switzerland for a trip abroad

Hope, SBB can share us some sales. It would be interesting to see some charts of the next months. This would be a huge indicator for the Bitcoin-World.

Thank you

Thanks for sharing your impressions!

I am surprised at how quickly the Swiss railway has implemented this. The announcement is only a few weeks ago. This is an impressively proof how very effective the Swiss are.
Luckily, I am often in Switzerland and will definitely try the service next time.

Thank you very much for sharing such great news and explaining everything in detail.
I hope to see many other train ticket machine in the near future soon, in other countries.
It's great news for the skeptic people to.
I heard many complaints that Bitcoin have just virtual value but no value in the real world.
Such reports can help to change minds of such people and inspire them to join us.

Thanks for sharing this with screenshots quite information, fee also seem just around 5% which is not that big. Will love to exchange my cash to bitcoin in this way but sadly i have to pay like more than 10% here for local guy as demand is very high and price is well above market rate for cash payment.

thank you for sharing your experience, can buy bitcoin with credit card (CHF Credit card of course) or only physical check?

This is amazing for Swiss and further bitcoin implementing, also I was amazed to find a website that buys/sells bitcoins in our local currency and it's pretty fast tho. We're a few years away from a wide spread usage of bitcoin.

I hope in our country, the Philippines, they would be able to apply that here but I think it will be a long way to go since we just had our upgrades to our trains (Upgrade in the ticketing system) it is where you buy a reloadable RFID card so it will be faster and waiting in line is not so much of a problem unless you have no load already. Well, hoping they could receive bitcoins as payment.

but you can't buy a ticket with btc?
and why do you need a phone number?
