What Are the Advantages of Using a Bitcoin ATM Machine?
A Bitcoin ATM is basically a kiosk that enables a user to buy or sell currency by using either a debit card or credit card. These ATM’s are capable of all major brands of debit and credit cards. Some companies like MoneyGram and FXCM have launched their own ATMs which accept both debit and credit cards. These ATMs provide all the functionalities of any traditional ATM machine like a teller, a key pad or an LCD screen but with the added capabilities of accepting major currencies.
There are also some companies that have launched their own version of a bitcoin ATM called a bitcoin ATM station. This is basically an upgrade of the existing ATM which enables users to make transactions in a more convenient manner and usually operates with the support of the manufacturer.
