What Coins Can I Buy at a Bitcoin ATM?

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency, without a central bank or single administrator, that can be sent from user to user on the peer-to-peer bitcoin network without the need for intermediaries. Transactions are verified by network nodes through cryptography and recorded in a public distributed ledger called a blockchain.

Bitcoin is unique in that there are a finite number of them: 21 million.

Bitcoins are created as a reward for a process known as mining. They can be exchanged for other currencies, products, and services.

NOTE: WARNING: Before buying coins at a Bitcoin ATM, it is important to research the features and services offered by the machine. It is also vital to ensure that the machine you are using is reputable, as some Bitcoin ATMs may be scams. Additionally, some machines may only allow you to buy specific types of coins and not all of them, so it is important to make sure you know which coins are supported before making a purchase. Finally, always remember that cryptocurrencies are subject to market volatility and can lose value quickly.

As of February 2015, over 100,000 merchants and vendors accepted bitcoin as payment.

Bitcoin ATMs are machines that accept bitcoins and dispense cash. They look like traditional ATMs, but they do not connect to a bank account and instead connect the customer to a Bitcoin exchange.

Common locations for Bitcoin ATMs are inside of a retail store, shop, tavern, restaurant, mall or airport. Keep your eyes open; you never know when one will pop up!.
