"Bitcoins, the online currency built on cryptography and beloved by libertarians, could be available for purchase through specialized ATMs in the United States this year."

"At least two firms have plans to ship out Bitcoin ATMs to American cities in the coming months. Robocoin, the Las Vegas-based firm rolling out the world’s first Bitcoin ATMs in Canada this fall, plans to ship 12 to 15 of the units by the end of the year. “We are working on deals right now in the U.S. that should deliver in December or January. Los Angeles, Florida, NYC, Austin, to name a few,” Robocoin CEO Jordan Kelly told TIME in an email."

Well I'm ready for this.  You know there will be many people wondering what is that machine for.  An atm for what?

It looks like they are planning on shipping them to 13 other countries too!  Too bad there wasn't one in New Zealand when we went last month.  We paid way too much in international transfer fees.  We tried to hook up with someone on local bitcoin but the guy never responded.  Oh well.  One of these days.

My favorite quote from the article was this:

“It’s a truly democratic programmable money, a currency that is not owned by a central authority, but owned by the people.”

Some people "get" this point at least.
