It&#x27;s not a &quot;Bitcoin ATM&quot;. It&#x27;s a &quot;Buy Bitcoins for cash&quot; machine. And there is a huge difference.<p>I&#x27;ll get excited when I see a machine that DISPENSES cash for Bitcoin, anonymously. That will be a breakthrough. For the moment, in spite of many claims, Bitcoin remains the most easily trackable currency and there is no way that I know of to get money <i>out</i> of the Bitcoin system in a way that can&#x27;t be tracked.

This machine accepts tons of world currencies. This will be much to the disadvantage of its owner, who will now have to try to change $20 in each of a dozen currencies to the local fiat currency. Doing this will be somewhere within a triangle of difficult, annoying, and expensive. Once owners figure this out, they will probably demand a way to program their machines to reject most currencies, just like everyone else does.<p>Accepting &quot;currencies from over 200 countries&quot; is not a good thing when there aren&#x27;t that many countries in the world with currency you&#x27;d want to hold. Nor does it reassure us about the machine&#x27;s ability to reject counterfeit notes--owners won&#x27;t be able to verify notes they don&#x27;t normally use, and BTC will ensure that fraudulent depositors have low risk of being caught.

I think &quot;Bitcoin ATM&quot; should feature in the title.

I&#x27;m not sure if the &quot;compact size&quot; is such a good thing - There is a reason why ATMs are so big..<p>(A junkie with a crowbar)

I used one of these the other day to try to buy $1 worth of bitcoin. It spun forever and I had to leave. Don&#x27;t know if it ever actually went through or not, but it should&#x27;ve given me a timeout message way before 5 minutes of standing there.

What&#x27;s the business model for operators&#x2F;buyers of the Bitcoin machine?

It&#x27;s a bitcoin vending machine. Owner of a bar&#x2F;cafe&#x2F;shop can accept bitcoins for payments and load them in this machine to convert them to cash. Those who want to spend bitcoins don&#x27;t need to find those who want to buy them.<p>Shops have easier way to accept and convert bitcoins into local currency =&gt; more places to spend bitcoins =&gt; more places where to buy bitcoins =&gt; more people using bitcoins =&gt; value grows =&gt; more shop owners are interested in keeping some BTC as an investment =&gt; less need for local currency =&gt; less friction =&gt; more bitcoin adoption =&gt; local currencies die out of hyperinflation (aka massive sell off) =&gt; fully deflationary economy =&gt; we all die in a deflationary spiral (not really ;-)
