http://techcrunch.com/2014/08/08/visiting-the-bitcoin-bodega/Far from the glitz of the older Las Vegas strip, past a ragged Travelodge, and next to a smoke shop is a small bodega offering t-shirts, flip flops, and two 16-ounce bottles of suds for $5. It also has a Robocoin bitcoin ATM, the first on the Strip.
It is a high-tech obelisk, seemingly placed at random amidst a parade of drunk men and women on their way from somewhere to somewhere else. I visited it yesterday, cash in hand. It was my first bitcoin ATM experience and, despite the Ground-Control-To-Major-Tom oddity of the thing, I’ve come to understand the true power of this weird little ATM.
