i had a problem using an atm today. i was deposit usd into a coinsource atm and it suddenly powered down. i dont think it is the store owner that did it. i think the atm had a power surge or something and shut down. i had to call the number and everything was taken care of.
some of the atm are not that reliable. some other atms that i went to sometimes doesnt even work from the beginning and on most nights its working.
I don't get it why do people like buying via ATMs, I see that people make them like they are of hge importance when in my opinion they aren't. I've even seen ATMs asking a lot of information about you before they even let you buy crypto (which is mainly bitcoin of course). Secondly, why I hate them is that their prices are a bit higher, since they are usually connected to a 3rd party exchange and take fees for their service, by doing this you have to pa higher price to buy and also you sell at lower rates. Thus it doesn't benefit you in the long run.
Well, most you've said was actually true but if OP doesn't have any options other than buying using ATM in their place so why not use it. Only a few numbers of people using this means because there are only a few of them but still hoping that they get multiplied soon. And I will not argue about the high fees they take when buying and selling using this service, still, recommend to use an exchange to buy BTC then move it some debit card services where it will be converted to cash
