I have to run, but here's a quick partial translation:

"The Bitcoin enthusiast Ludvig Öberg, 19, is launching Sweden's first Bitcoin ATM. The ATM will be located in Gallerian in central Stockholm."

"The Bitcoin ATM that Ludvig Öberg ordered is manufactured by another company, Lamassu in USA. It will be able to change Swedish bills into Bitcoins that can then be transfered to your smartphone. On Lamassu's website it says that one Bitcoin ATM costs about 5.000 dollars."

Very positive article. No FUD.

one bitcoin ATM in every major city in the EU, that would be cool

As someone else mentioned, if they installed the ATM bitcoins at major international airports, it would be huge business. Transfer over BTC to the ATM wallet. Withdraw local currency, and convert back to BTC when you leave the airport with whatever you have left.

So much better than paying those rediculous exchange rates at the airport.

Skojigt. Gallerian är inte sa dåligt, kanske nästa ATM:n kan vara på Arlanda?
