That growth in the BTC ATM demand may push the price up further in the near future. Perhaps it will even near 1000 again in the near future.

Syscoin has the best of Bitcoin and Ethereum in one place, it's merge mined with Bitcoin so it is plugged into Bitcoin's ecosystem and takes full advantage of it's POW while rewarding Bitcoin miners with Syscoin

It's so great to see stories like this because the alternative for more adoption to occur would be for more people to log on to their computers, read up on Bitcoin and then get themselves an online wallet and figure out the rest. Keeping it simple and allowing people just to use their phone and link up at one of these ATMs (Bitcoin modules) is great for the future. Reminds me of parts of going into the future in the movie, "Back to the Future Part II". Grin

Litecoin seems to be floundering a bit lately. I am not sure why that is because it is a solid currency, but the momentum it had just seems to have evaporated.

As for bit coin atms, any way to make it easier to get is a good thing. Also just getting people used to seeing it is also a good thing.

Why don't you buy one, get some wall space at a mall and set it up? You could be making money!

How much do you think that would cost?

How long before you break even?

How many employee hours would you need?

A thousand bucks. You check it every once in a while. The exchange rate is a little above spot. I think you'd get your RIO a lot faster with one of these than with a mining rig these days.

Where I'm from, no one knows what Bitcoin is lol no one at my local mall would even know how to work it probably.

Even better! You get one of these, get a professional sign made (not just a banner) then get a flier rack with fliers about bitcoin and free paper wallets.

Curious people will start popping in $20 to get their bitcoins to play with.

Part of the whole point about these things is to promote and teach people about BTC.

Sure, 1k for the machine, but prolly.50k -75k for AML/KYC, space rental, employee time, not to mention money & btc to fund the machine...

I really like it. Precisely because of the realization of such goals  Bitcoin became mainstream

This could be huge for Bitcoin, the ability to buy a bitcoin ATM for $999 is genius.

150 shipped already, this could catch on quickly.

When reviewing ATM companies, I realized this machine was one way... wish someone could make a two way machine for $999!

My hat's off to these gentlemen.  Wonder if they will be dropping their prics on these anytime soon.  Obviously an incredible deal but with a $150 atm on the way.

Is that $150 atm two ways?  - looks like no

Can you share a link please?  I heard about it from my neighbor; haven't had time to research yet though...

hah, two articles later...
