Where Was the First 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 was invented in 2008 by an unknown person or group of people using the name Satoshi Nakamoto, and started in 2009 when its source code was released as open-source software.

NOTE: WARNING: Before using a Bitcoin ATM, make sure you understand the risks associated with using a Bitcoin ATM. There may be legal issues or security concerns that could put you at risk. Additionally, some Bitcoin ATMs may charge high fees or have limits on how much you can withdraw. Be sure to research the specific Bitcoin ATM you intend to use ahead of time, and stay safe!
