It seems Australia is becoming a more crypto friendly country than others. I think Australian government's decision to exempt cryptocurrency from double taxation helped the Australian businesses to get in to crypto related businesses.  This is a massive step taken by Brisbane airport.

There are around 9 bitcoin ATMs in Brisbane according to coinatmradar.com. I guess there will be more bitcoin ATMs in Brisbane in the future as there will be more demand due to Brisbane airport's cryptocurrency acceptance.

I wonder what kind of cryptocurrency does Australia currently accept?
Just bitcoin? So how to confirm the receipt of bitcoin, 12 blocks synchronization?

One reason I found was that some countries where economic conditions are not very good have specifically supported cryptocurrencies. It seems that the dollar hegemony has also come to an end. The cryptocurrency must defeat the rule of the dollar!

Hey, which airport? I am intersted in all types of adoption news but I would very much like to have a link or a source because it is difficult to tell fake from true.

This is a great start. Cryptos are actually easier for payment on the go like on public transportation as well as buying of product and services.
Bitcoin ATM sustain on a fee and work as an exchanger, while buyer to seller transaction would be more beneficial to both the parties.

They do not just take bitcoin, but also BCH, DASH, ETH, BTC, STEEM, and XEM.
This is a cool move forward. I never traveled to Australia. But I hope soon other airports will see that it works fine and will start using these developments.

Can you tell me the reliable source about that? it will be much better to let everyone know about that through use the reliable news. The problem by using atm is the fees for every tx is really high. It's easy and even instantly but there is a lot of people are still feeling doubt to be charged more fees through use atm.

Thank you for sharing the link.
"....every merchant there now accepts digital currencies."
The line that excites me so much. Now we can say that cryptocurrency has this real uses. I really appreciate Brisbane Airport for believing in this idea and as a large airport like this, it will surely attract more users of crypto.

Yeah its good but whats the official source here? It would be great if you try to provide the source so that reading the full information can help us know whats the actually stuff going around here.

Off course if they start using the Bitcoin ATM at airport then it would be far far beneficial as it is international centre point where foreigners will have an opportunity to exchange their crypto currency for the australian dollars. 

I think this idea is great and if the news is true then really Australia has taken nice initiative by starting up this ATM. Lets see how big it goes.

Although their support is a good thing, I personally do not like Australia. They are short-sighted and they are American running dogs.

The news is actually really cool, because it is not only about the ATM in the airport, but also about merchants accepting cryptocurrencies as payment. I think that ATMs are not what can solve a problem, since they indicate that people still use cryptos only indirectly, by converting them into fiat. What we need is terminals in shops where you can pay for goods by a touch of the card. I know there is the project which wants to establish that in Lithuania, perhaps there are similar talks in other countries, but so far it is not our reality and that imprisons cryptos as means of payment.

It seems to me the use of crypto currency in payment for something either now can be complicated by fact that the price is very unstable and it is necessary to update the price data constantly.

The news is very interesting and fun, I think developing countries will not reject cryptocurrency, technology and transparency cryptocurrency is very advanced and cutting edge, I am sure other countries will receive cryptocurrency and ATM cryptocurrency will spread in big cities.

[tresbien21]

Australia is already my favourite country in the world. I really like the fact that they want to make the use of crypto more mainstream in all the country, and i hope that other countries will adopt the same mentality as Australia.

I don't like ATMs much tbh, best is to have more merchants and services to accept crypto but to issue payments in crypto as well. We are yet in some slow beginning of things and this is great news airport! I guess I have to move to Australia

I tried to Google it. Besides some for-and-about-cryptocurrency websites, I found 2 traditional sources that we may trust:

• http://www.foxnews.com/travel/2018/01/30/major-airport-announces-it-will-now-accept-bitcoin.html
• https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/news/brisbane-becomes-worlds-first-airport-to-accept-bitcoin/

According to the articles, the refered airport is Australia’s Brisbane Airport, which (at the time of writing around end of Jan 2018) will accept Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dash and Steem.

Do you guys have any update?
