The Bitcoin ATM Is Coming at a Location Near You???

http://www.bitcoinblogger.com/2011/07/bitcoin-atm-is-coming-at-location-near.html

If the cards fall into place bitcoin ATMs may be on the way.

There are many annoyances with bitcoin including the following:

1.) Bitcoins are very difficult to obtain on the Internet.
2.) It is near impossible for an average user to generate bitcoins with his or her computer.
3.) Technical skill is required to obtain bitcoins via an online exchange.
4.) If money is sent from a bank account to an online exchange then the transaction is no longer anonymous and that money can be traced.
5.) Sending cash in the mail for bitcoins could take days, weeks, or not at all and is unreliable.

What is the solution to these many problems? Multiple teams within the United States are attempting to build and distribute ATMs in mass quantities. ATMs will allow bitcoins to be distributed anonymously with cash without the need for an exchange. With bitcoin ATMs it will only be a drive away before an average person can buy bitcoins! The value of bitcoin will skyrocket once a non-technical user can buy bitcoins as easy as buying local goods.

There are many ways to distribute bitcoins with an ATM and each development team is handling them uniquely. I could explain in further detail in how these bitcoin ATMs would work, but to protect the business interests of my sources I am going to remain quite for now. Who will win the race to provide the best bitcoin ATM with the most locations?

Here is an early attempt of one team hacking open an eBay bought ATM:

I love this idea, cant wait to use one

[Jaime Frontero]

this would be a true game-changer.

it appears a bit early yet - but i certainly look forward to updates.

the thing that comes immediately to mind is this:  what is the exchange infrastructure behind this idea?  because really - without an exchange, there's just a well-tested ATM box.  the box isn't a challenge at all, and is actually kind of irrelevant, no?

We are glad to announce first permanent Bitcoin ATM of Switzerland!
It is an Lamassu ATM and it is locatet in downtown Zurich, in Cafe Schoffel, Schoffelgasse 7, 8001 Zurich.

Cafe Schoffel also is accepting Bitcoins (As one of the first Restaurants in Switzerland).

Please drop in, when you are in Zurich.

Wow, what a great project!
Hopefully we'll see some ATM's in the Chicago/Milwaukee area.
See, if we can make them dirt cheap, then we'll see them all over town

I hope to see a bitcoin ATM near my location soon, but unfortunately I can't find any right now...  
What is the best source to find bitcoin ATM locations? I just know about https://bank-nearme.com/bitcoin-atm-near-me/.
Thanks.

If data on this link are accurate https://coinatmradar.com/country/226/bitcoin-atm-united-states/ then in this moment there is a 1290 ATMs in USA and this is the largest number of BTC ATMs in one country.This is for some easy way to buy/sell BTC,but in most cases very expensive way because of high fees(average 9.21%).

Every initiative that can help in a way that BTC becomes more accessible is commendable,but current situation with high fee and slow transaction+fee taken by service make purchases of BTC through ATMs very expensive.

Bitcoin ATM is the great solution for the fast transaction when the FIAT money is needed. There are more and more ATMs that are being put in the right place every day. Many of the people without proper knowledge about cryptos are often mistaken when they see the ATM. They try to use it to pull the FIAT money from their bank and they are not aware that its purpose is only for the Bitcoin. Bitcoin ATM flaw is only the high transaction fee that is usually 10 percent of the whole value that the user of the ATM is cashing out. I personally still haven't used ATM myself but in the future, I will for sure. My city has a couple of ATMs and the improvement of technology will probably pull more people into the trading crypto market and that will result in many more users of the ATMs.

This is a good idea for me. It will be very accesible for everybody. But i think its not going to happen yet anytime soon. But maybe in the near future as technology arises.

At my place in HCM City, ATMs have been shown to remove Bitcoin to VND, and from there you can standardize, so everywhere in the world it is easy to find an ATM with bitcoin. Is the reason I advise you not to care about it and your job that is how to own so many btc!

Yes, we keep working that bitcoin ATMs will be placed in many different locations around the world and people get the knowledge about cryptocurrency

That's right and I am, so if more and more bitcoin ATMs are established where for those who don't know about bitcoin, they can know faster and their development will also grow more rapidly

You guys realize that you are necroposting from a post that was done in July 04, 2011... right? < A necropost is a post on

an "old, abandoned thread that has been considered 'dead' for a while...that no longer serves any purpose but is bumped back

 up to the top of the forums by someone posting in it." - Source : https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/Necropost

OP's post is a clear example of how Bitcoin has grown in 7 years. Back then Bitcoin ATMs was still in development. 

[ginobitcoiner]

in my country there have been several bitcoin ATMs, although not exactly in the city I live in but this is not too far away.
ATM locations are in the City of Jakarta and in the Province of Bali precisely in Ubud and Kuta.

yes. now we have coinatmradar and easily can find nearest crypto ATM and now we talking not only bitcoin ATM, but multycurrency crypto ATMs and POS terminals

[kamBlanV]

basically, a bitcoin transaction system is designed to work without an ATM machine, and ATM is an innovation to complete the bitcoin system.

and we will always need exchange, especially for trading, because we cannot trade at an ATM.

ATM is only a small part to withdraw after we sell some crypto into BTC.

[Vit83]

ALL ATM with crypto I saw had awfull commissions. Interesting what price will be in this system?  

[Adetemiii77]

One of my dreams is to us the Bitcoin ATM one day. I hope this happens soon.

Well everyone loves this is of news. Aside from it making transactions more easy and faster, it can save time and effort too. All also this probably will help the market to boost its popularity that may result to the bul run or somewhat to the market of bitcoin increasing its value.
