If it is more convenient for people to buy Bitcoin, will Bitcoin be more popular

[Tim-BTC]

Bitcoin is already really really convenient for most people. I'd even go far as saying that downloading an app and buying bitcoin through it is significantly more convenient than going to a bitcoin ATM; at least for most people besides the older demographic.

A lot of people shunning out bitcoin is mostly due to ignorance and fear of volatility than the convenience of it.

yeap，You got the point. Ignorance is the biggest obstacle.
It is too difficult to change consciousness.
Wake-up will be a big project, not something that can be solved by simply adding a few machines.

How can an ATM machine allow "face-to-face transactions"?
What about KYC policies?I don't think that the authorities would allow people to purchase Bitcoin thru ATM machines without ID verification.
The Bitcoin price would've been way higher,if Bitcoin purchases were easy and convenient.There's no doubt about that.The problem is that Bitcoin purchases will never be easy,cheap and convenient.

Now many wallets can be traded, and you can also transfer money face-to-face, without kyc at all.

bitcoin will reach new ath is coming  it would be more great if accept not just bitcoin but also another crypto or stablecoin since bitcoin in my opinion can't be using for everyday transaction since fee getting high and time confirmation getting slow so other crypto would be great and i hope it will atm come to indonesia

I can imagine if there is no KYC required to use the ATM's the will attract a certain
amount of interest from people looking to transact with cash even with higher fees,
a small price to pay for a bit of anonymity.

If the transactions are easy and convienient it should attract more traffic and that
goes into the melting pot of users and transactions.

if people are safer buying bitcoins, what is. bitcoin is more popular, maybe my answer is definitely yes, actually there are many people who want to play in bitcoin, but ordinary people find it difficult to learn about bitcoin, if there is easy access to bitcoin, there are certainly many people who are involved in the crypto world, for now the government has banned the use of bitcoin, so ordinary people are afraid to play with crypto money, unlike us people who have been playing in bitcoin for a long time, they will definitely not be afraid anymore, whatever the risks that come they will definitely face.

[mrongoz22]

anything that is safe to use and easy to find and for sure we can have advantages, of course many want to have it, especially bitcoin which definitely gives us freedom in all fields and can give us profits, it's clear everyone will buy bitcoin, the more people who buy bitcoin it is certain by itself bitcoin will be more popular,

[mrongos]

now most of those who hold bitcoins can be said, middle to upper class people, and people who are good at playing on the internet, and it can be said that people who have gone to school, but if people who are middle to lower, of course no one plays in the crypto world, right? for no reason, middle and lower people don't believe in bitcoin because they are difficult to get access to, even if there were they would be difficult to learn about it all, but if it was more convenient for people to buy bitcoin, it is certain that many would buy and hold bitcoin , for sure bitcoin will be more popular than now..

[ropyu1978]

if it is safer for people to buy bitcoin, it is certain that bitcoin will be even more popular, because we see now that our movements are restricted by the government, and china has banned bitcoin mining, so people who are not used to holding bitcoins are definitely afraid, but if accessing bitcoin easy, I'm very sure bitcoin holders will definitely increase, and definitely more popular..

Not that being too optimistic but we will get there and these days of price action will just be a blip on the charts for years to come. HODL as they say! Bitcoin isn't yet for day to day usage yet but we will be scalable in the future, fingers crossed.

That depends on the Bitcoin ATM company but most of these Bitcoin ATMs are either you need to sign up with them or you're using your credit or debit card, anonymity isn't secured here to be honest. Well, it will really never be easy if people are skeptical about their privacy in the first place. I think we are getting there on the convenience side because of the LN but on the cheapness and easeness that will depend on different occasions.

Bitcoin is started to be known by many, started to be popular in different countries. And buying bitcoin is already been convenient right now. Though centralized exchanges required some KYC but then it is still easy to buy bitcoin.

Also, those BTC ATM machines are increasing , people are being aware how those bitcoin works, how it can be use conveniently and how it can be transacted easily online. But then, there are always some disadvantage that could be some reason why people tend to disagree using it. As fees are higher and volatility is very active making them feel afraid to use it.

[DOH!]

If I remember correctly, the number of ATHs in the US has increased to more than 28 thousand.  This number may still be inaccurate as the number of ATMs is constantly expanding.  In the digital age, when people expand their needs, overcome the backwardness, they can do their own research on digital media youtube....etc, maybe the difficulty is just the middle class and  Older people will be less likely to have exposure to or trust in bitcoin.  But it won't be long before bitcoin becomes even more popular, as part of their lives.

Of course it.goes back to each other's.opinions, especially now that many people are refused.to buy bitcoin, because it.can be.taxed $ 10 well it.will have a huge impact on someone who wants.to buy it.especially from.beginners, but for the level of popularity.we really admit.that.currently the crypto world has.a fairly.high level of.popularity compared.to other investments.without any new purchases.bitcoin will still be at its.level of.popularity

Cryptocurrency ATM company Bitcoin Depot has announced a long-term partnership with Circle K, a convenience store chain in the United States and Canada.
 Bitcoin Depot plans to install ATMs in "thousands" of Circle K convenience stores. Bitcoin Depot stated that its ATM machines enable users to exchange cash for cryptocurrency, allowing simple face-to-face transactions, giving users immediate access to Bitcoin and more than 30 other cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin Depot has installed more than 700 Bitcoin ATMs in 30 states in the United States and Canada.

If it is more convenient for people to buy Bitcoin, will Bitcoin be more popular?
If you don’t know Bitcoin, and you see this ATM when you go to buy bread, do you buy Bitcoin with change?
If you didn't buy it this time, when you saw these ATMs elsewhere, would you be curious to buy some?

It is indeed convenient to buy bitcoin yet there are a lot of factors that is needed to be considered first before everyone gets encouraged to buy it. One is its volatility, we are all aware that bitcoin's value changes over time and buying is not always an ideal thing. Another is the possible fees that will be required before you can make a transaction, since bitcoin gives us financial freedom, it will make no sense to put too much fee granted by the government or any other organization. It will surely be a good help as the number of bitcoin ATM grows still we cannot expect everyone to buy bitcoin through it specially when there is a bull run going on.

no because the change wasnt mine but it was my parents money .
 i do groceries thats why  but even if its my money i think i will not buy imediately but i will got curious and do a research and probably try it the next time i go the same establishment .
nowadays loading up a wallet with btc is easy aswell all spending our btc but installing btc atm's can act as an advertisement and people will got curious and they will eventually try btc .

That can make bitcoin more popular because I think people will not have a problem buying bitcoin and can buy it from their places. With the ATM installing at many places, it makes it people easy to buy bitcoin. As long as they can see that ATM, they can directly buy it from that machine, but that will depend on how the local government regulates it for bitcoin. But I still want to use my usual way to buy bitcoin because I already feel comfortable with that way. Maybe later, I will try to buy bitcoin from that ATM.

[buwaytress]

Sort of agree. BTC ATMs seemed to not make sense to me when you considered the extremely high fees (10% or thereabouts). And then the same for Coinbase. But then I kept meeting people (Americans especially but then also English when Coinbase touched down there) who preferred using ATMs and Coinbase. Convenience is hugely underrated, at least I underestimated it.

[dothebeats]

If bitcoin is more convenient to buy, I don’t think its popularity would also follow. If the cryptocurrency does not serve any use-case for the people, then I don’t think they would even care buying or even looking at all. Most people still look for utility on what they buy, and investment only comes second. While it’s true that bitcoin becomes more and more known and accepted around the world, it’s still that there is very limited use to it currently.

According to me, if the ATM crypto in every country that will make every people become easier to know more about crypto. From didnt know about crypto, then become curios and finally try the ATM. The majority who will be the first is millenial because they have bigger curiousity than old people. 

[Saidasun]

Yes if Bitcoin were as easy as cash then yes it would be a lot more popular. I wish that companies start paying in Bitcoin because I think that is the next big step that is needed to make it more popular. I think the atms that are being placed around the world will help towards that to.

[conected]

I think yes it will attract more users to buy more bitcoin since it's easy to do coupled with it the transaction fee much cheaper than it currently is and the fee for using third-party services much cheaper, more people will definitely use it.

- There can be a little and this effort is just that, not very efficient nor increasing the space of bitcoin because online purchases for bitcoin have also reached a relatively good level, we have a lot easier access to bitcoin than in the past when exchanges provided the most convenient payments and become a neutral support service. Looking for more ease can only transact directly, face to face but in general, the amount of money is relatively high, no one wants to pile up cash and carry it out on the street like that, quite dangerous
