Whats the point in destroying the ATM? even if they are trying to steal shit the bitcoin arnt even there .....lol
It could be a rival company or even a rival technology.... just look at all the shills operating on this forum and on Reddit and all the misinformation that are being spread to confuse people. There are a lot of people/businesses that would suffer huge losses if Bitcoin succeeded. { WU / MoneyGram }
I would doubt that a lot of companies would go to extremes like destroying ATMs or anything as an attempt to try and reduce the popularity of something like Bitcoin, especially when you consider most people find out about bitcoin online and then maybe transfer over to physical stuff later in their experience.
Shills definitely exist though.
