The term Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) has connotations that come with it that could be avoided if we just avoid using that term.
How many Coke ATMs have run into regulation difficulty? When getting tokens out of a token ATM did you need to have your hand scanned?
There is even a gold dispenser. No regulations necessary.

Either one--the point is to avoid the term ATM.
BTW I agree with OP. A teller is a functionary of a bank, and banks warrant regulation. As long as you are not "changing" money, or dispensing fiat there should be no need for regulation beyond that required for candy machines.

Except there are regulations necessary! A bitcoin ATM is a money transmitter and needs to be licensed appropriately as such. There is no getting around this by simply calling it a "bitcoin dispenser" or something. Changing the name doesn't change what it does. |

People using the wrong technical terms for things is nothing new... I think when people say "Bitcoin ATM", we all know what they're referring to even though it may not be technically correct.

LOL! Sounds pretty catchy... I could see Bitcoin ATM's being referred to as something like a "bucket". BM - Bitcoin Manager |
