Now you can buy Bitcoin from the grocery store

[Apes]

very good development. more users will be able to buy and invest in cryptocurrencies. today there are still many people who are not familiar with cryptocurrency and do not know how to buy it. with developments like this anyone will easily buy and even distribute it. Hopefully more of these machines will be installed on grocery stores worldwide. so that the general public can use cryptocurrencies in real life.

In the U.S. there are these machines in grocery stores called "Coinstar"...they were originally used for fiat coins but now they've modified them so you can buy Bitcoin from them. This is great for mass adoption!

Yeah, It is really mass adoption, and it is a easy way to buy bitcoin, also it will popularity of bitcoin. Most of the people who have no awareness about bitcoin they will be know about bitcoin in this wise.
But unfortunately i have never seen in my country like this store. But i wish i see it and definitely this moment will be remember-able for me when i buy a bitcoin from a store.  

We cant say that these things can drive adoption because some people do already recognized cryptos but they insist to stick with fiats  . people still have doubts because of the volatility factor of cryptos  .  overall , this news is good for us who already use cryptos because we can now buy coins easily just by going at a supermarkets grocery  . how i wish that these machines will be available on my place  , right now we only have a few crypto powered atm's still they are miles away from my hometown .

I think this is awesome we can buy bitcoin in a grocery store because it will less hassle when you can buy bitcoin while you are going to shop so it may be save your money and time because you dont have to go in some remittance center to buy bitcoin. And I think when they start to sell bitcoin time will come that they will also accept bitcoin as a payment.

Although it's awesome, I think only a few people who want to buy bitcoin in a grocery store unless they know about bitcoin before so they can try to buy bitcoin. Maybe it needs a months before people realize that they can buy bitcoin in an offline store, but if we could promote this, I am sure people will become curious. Their curiosity will attract them to buy bitcoin and no matter what, it will spread among them, and more people will try to buy bitcoin.

I’ve heard about coinstar but I can’t believe that they are been modified and can now support cryptocurrency transactions. Whole and sole function of this machine would be somehow similar to bitcoin atm’s but yet gaining mass adoption is not that easy for anything related to cryptocurrencies. I would love hearing this news from a more official source so that it could then be considered as a official news.

[tunapa]

This is good if it’s really true. It will help mass usage of the machine which is also good for the crypto and bitcoin development. But we need to be sure the transaction fee is not much else it will discourage people from using it. These are one of the things to take note so ur can go a long way.

The transparency of bitcoin at local stores should be practiced very well, and we must spread information so that this will become trending to all of us. I wonder this will be implemented in asia particular on rising economy like Singapore and Japan. Because of that merging of fiat and digital is one way of making bitcoin to soar up higher.

I am glad such a thing exist in the US now which clearly shows bitcoin adoption is on the increase. The grocery store is one store people love to visit every time to time and being able to buy bitcoin there makes things very easy for bitcoin lovers to get bitcoin with ease. As time goes on more places will have Bitcoin machines where bitcoin can be purchased with ease.

I think I can adopt it from America, in my country, I hope it will be like that to make it easier for us to store it, it is easy and precisely this is not possible in the US.

Crypto Currencies are not very popular among many people. Even my friends and my near and dear ones did not know much about bitcoins and how it works. If bitcoins are introduced in physical stores, then it can really help the adaption of bitcoins.

[Moiyah]

In my country, only some selected restaurants already have this kind of payments. Looking forward that such grocery stores here allowed btc too as a payment. Less hassle for bitcoiners who want to purchase something in grocery.

Oh well, what do we expect from the people who are not aware that bitcoin exists? This is a good step for them to know that bitcoin can be used as this payment method and for them to be aware about this technology.

Expect more of these in the coming days as more and more people are now attracted to join the investments in which they realized the exceptional earnings from Bitcoin specially in countries in which declared Bitcoin is free of government tax.

As a bitcoin user, i also have great wishes about bitcoin and i rely on it that in future more other ways will be introduced for us about bitcoin investments. But unfortunately still in many countries people can't buy bitcoin in a store, including in my country. 

[Ray55]

Wow, It really is a piece of very good news. Bitcoin is being accessed to a grocery store with a machine called "coinstar". It's really good news to people around the world. But I am a little worried about how much the transaction fees will be for each moment. Transaction fee: if it is too much it will not be convenient for the people.

I believed that this is the main objective of this movement they want to see what is the reactions of the people about this

And i guess this is just a dry run for the bigger opening from this country to around the world, as i think that japan has a lots of this machinery for years now

And the concept is just taken fron japan to spread to ths world

It's not that easy as many government around the world are still ain't convince of what the potential bitcoin have, those who started to embrace are making good outcome, better to look for future results and not just the investment part of this industry, bitcoin will be embraced and will gain more and more interest from different people and businesses, things will be adopted all around as part of payment services.

[EdvinZ]

Such equipment for buying Bitcoin extremely popularizes cryptocurrencies. In addition, if you place it in grocery stores, it is even more efficient, because such stores are the most visited. For a buyer, a low commission when buying is very important, I think competition among suppliers of such services will help reduce it.

[samputin]

This is actually good. This can wake the curiousity of those who do not know bitcoin yet. And once their basic questions are answered, they might find it convenient and get engaged eventually. What a great step for adoption. It may be small, but it surely will give a great impact on the crypto community. However...

Security might be the most important thing in this kind of development,  stay secured all the time.

And bear in mind, "Safety first."

[jak3]

Seems like they are trying to make a replica of Bitcoin ATM. Anything is good as long as they are contributing something for the Bitcoin growth. It is sure that people were going to find it interesting and then try it on so it is going to increase the public adoption.

This is really good news. It can be the first step for adoption of Bitcoin in the U.S. . Trump doesn't like Bitcoin as we all know but someone else will replace his place eventually and the approach to Bitcoin will change too I believe.
