Why use a Bitcoin ATM?

Well, transferring money between traditional currencies into Bitcoin isn’t actually that easy. If someone wanted to purchase a Bitcoin they would have to open an account with an exchange where registration could take up to 30 days.  Also, banks are able to shut down accounts that Bitcoin users and exchangers are using to convert money into Bitcoin. With a Bitcoin ATM, the physical ATM cuts out the banks as a middleman. Overall, this machine takes care of the banks and makes it easier for people to change money into Bitcoin.Jeff Berwick’s Bitcoin ATM is said to launch in Cyprus however there are others in the works.
