Buttcoinbros are hilarious, they are saying Saylor is out of money and the whole thing is just around the corner from collapsing now. They don't seem to be aware tomorrow is Strategy Earnings call and he can expand the ATM if voters approve.

friendly-survivor

yes because you can just run to the ATM when the power goes out... You simpletons fail to realize that physical gold is tbe only real currency. /s

Do you mean Cash? Banks will be drained before you can reach an ATM. Bitcoin is safer in an apocalypse as anything in the banking system.

heinzmoleman

A majority of the capital has come through ATM share offerings and super low interest convertible debt notes. There is nothing for investors to sell, in fact they have a vested interest to pump the price higher. The ATM offering is where most of the 21 billion has come from but its been an accreditive dilution in that more shares are offered but because the funds are used to purchase additional BTC the BTC per shares increases for everyone. It really is a clever idea, curious to see how it pans out in the long term but if BTC continues to repeat history than MSTR shareholders are going to have even more FIAT they can pump back into BTC.

ModestGenius66

As long as mNAV is healthily above 1 Saylor can keep issuing ATM and accruing btc yield. The inevitable rise in the price of btc is a welcome addition, but not necessary for btc yield.

If the world suffered a power outage like you described, everything would be dead – not just bitcoin. You can’t even go to the ATM to pull out cash.

snek-jazz

yeah, ATM is not borrowing.

askacanadian

It was an ATM… but go off

snek-jazz

> Where is he getting it from? Selling newly issued shares > Is he printing coins? No > If using ATM, why? Because the share price is high enough that it means the dilution from the new shares is less than the bitcoin they can buy with the proceeds from selling them. In short bitcoin per share goes up, despite the fact there are more shares. This raises the floor of MSTR since assets increase but debt stays the same.

zxr7

Where is he getting it from? Is he printing coins? If using ATM, why? If he wishes to put the price up, then simply buy the spot market. Or he's getting large discounts, and not rushing for quicker but more expensive on the Spot market.

Realistic-Jelly8133

My guess is that the announcements on Monday premarket are to drive a MSTR pump so that he can sell ATM shares into it. Then he hoards that cash through the week, buys slowly over the weekend to maintain liquidity in the BTC market, then repeats.

tldr; The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) reported $2.8 billion in cryptocurrency scam losses for individuals aged 60 and above in 2024, marking a sharp rise in fraud targeting older Americans. Total crypto-related losses reached $9.3 billion, a 66% increase from 2023. Investment scams were the primary source, alongside schemes like sextortion and crypto ATM fraud. Older adults were particularly vulnerable, while younger individuals increasingly fell victim to pig butchering scams. Efforts like 'Operation Level Up' aim to combat these frauds. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

You still in delute past? ATM is an arbitrage it gives yeld, last year yeld was 80% Breath, btc per share is always raising. Thats why is always going up faster than bitcoin and this wont stop.

dis_guy_boddering_u

Long Island’s lack of ATMs is due to NY state’s “bitlicense” which makes operating a ₿ ATM next to impossible unless you were grandfathered nearly a decade ago. It’s incredible expensive to even apply and the waiting time for just getting a response back is generally in the range of 2 years.

akataytek

Are there any BTC ATM's where you are. Maybe a Mall or Airport? If you do then it can be completely invisible. Pay cash, keep in a hard wallet.

LegendaryJohnny

There is crazy amount of hardware built around Bitcoin including ATM machines plus another mining hardware backing up the value. Also its just first crypto which is advantage. But I also agree that it is basically useless.

CasaSatoshi

I just spent 3 months in Mostar - there is a Bitcoin ATM in Mepas mall.

A lot of these people were either rich or robbed at an ATM with a lot of money in their hands. It's different from a sticker on your car. And the car wasn't even a Ferrari, I wouldn't want to be seen dead in an ID.3 ;)

Option 1: Use a Crypto Exchange App (Easiest & Most Popular) Apps like Bitso, Binance, or Kraken make this pretty easy in Mexico. Step-by-step with Bitso (popular in Mexico): 1. Download the Bitso app (or go to bitso.com). 2. Sign up & verify your identity (you’ll need an ID and maybe a selfie). 3. Deposit MXN: • Tap Deposit. • Choose SPEI bank transfer (you’ll get a CLABE or account number). • Transfer money from your Mexican bank account to that CLABE. 4. Buy BTC: • Once MXN shows in your wallet, tap Buy/Sell. • Choose Bitcoin, enter the amount in pesos, and confirm. 5. Done! You now own BTC. ⸻ Option 2: Use a Bitcoin ATM • Find a Bitcoin ATM near you in Mexico using coinatmradar.com. • Bring cash pesos. • Scan your Bitcoin wallet QR code (can use apps like BlueWallet or Muun). • Insert pesos. • Confirm and receive BTC in your wallet. ⸻ Option 3: Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Platforms • Use Binance P2P, Paxful, or LocalBitcoins. • Find someone selling BTC for MXN. • Pay them (usually via bank transfer). • BTC is released to your wallet. This is cheaper sometimes but riskier — make sure to use escrow-protected platforms and only deal with high-rated users. -ChatGPT

Avoid Zypto because if your funds go missing from their debit card issuance they won’t take responsibility. Redotpay is excellent. I used the ATM with their card and no money came out yet my card was still debited, without me chasing them down after a few days once the Thai bank did their audit my card was credited for amount lost. Very impressive

Bitcoin ATM

MachinimaGothic

We speak about situation in which we want to exchange this in physical place. In virtual scenario in which access to electricity or internet is not that sure. In my country its only few places in which you can exchange BTC like you exchange to person dollars for euro. Most common are BTC ATMs but be sure that even if you have electricity and internet they wouldnt have money. Places in which they buy silver or gold are plenty like this. I already tested this with silver. Coin was evaluated and price proposed and you get cash. I didnt have to prove anything. I am currently silver bug in future I will go for gold. Why I want physical place? Because this complicated chain even if we have internet or electricity "Exchange>Bank Account>ATM Machine" will be much easier to compromise. Shoutout to my friends from Venezuela which are robbed by their bank because it deducts huge % for every transfer which go from countries outside of venezuela. And shoutout for them because they cant withdraw shit from their ATMs Maybe such a thing like localbitcoin solution is an option but never tested. And you put yourself at risk in the moment of truth.

Kriskao

The first time I arrived at Panama, I only had US dollars on me so I figured I would get some local currency. I went to an ATM and I was very confused when it gave me more US dollars. Yes I know this is not bitcoin related, but there are countries that just use someone else’s currency.

life764

> Is there anything I can do? Of course. You can learn from your experience and be smarter next time. The blockchain has no useful information for you. If you got scammed by a physical ATM, then that's your best lead.

Well then go to a Bitcoin ATM and print it from there. If you're going through luck to but it and learning how to send it to someone else, you've already gotten into it

Why would any country need this 🤡 Just buy BTC ATM!!

naminghell

How would an ATM even work under this conditions? And even if you are lucky and cashed out "1 day before" your hypothetical scenario, before everyone else, your printed paper is as worthless as a credit card would be. You'd be back to barter if you wouldn't be a prepper or extremely powerful in the first place. So, what do you have? >Food, Medicine, Ass, Gas and Grass ?

Antique_Wrongdoer775

I asked this before, but was ignored. If you use the ATM with fake glasses with a big nose - will the ATM reject your transaction?

__Ken_Adams__

No, not in the way you're thinking. A Bitcoin ATM could not link a Bitcoin address to a phone or anything else. There are potential ways to link an identity to a bitcoin address, but it's not simple & would require additional pieces of information. Basically, extra manual investigative steps would need to be taken to connect the dots. Usually we'd be talking about law enforcement involvement. So it depends. If you are someone who may be on law enforcement's radar, there are many ways they can connect your bitcoin activity to your identity. If you're just a nobody that wants to know if using an ATM risks exposing your identity, you don't have much to worry about. Ironically, you said you weren't concerned about the phone number part, yet that is the most likely way the ATM would identify you. It cannot identify you simply from a bitcoin address, but your phone number definitely will.

AdMost6090

Buying Bitcoin from an ATM can potentially be traced back to a phone during the transaction. Most especially through phone number verification or kyc.

izza123

The Bitcoin ATM will take a photo of you

izza123

Crypto ATMs are in public places with cameras or private businesses with cameras. They also have inbuilt cameras. There is no using it truly anonymously. Scammers solve this problem by tricking the elderly into using the ATM for them

__Ken_Adams__

Can you explain further? When you buy bitcoin at an ATM to receive bitcoin all you provide is your bitcoin address. The ATM would have no way of identifying anything about your phone from a bitcoin address.

NiagaraBTC

Yes, that is an excellent feature to have. Bitcoin only, self-custodial mandatory. The right way. In Canada at least they have a good network of ATMs, which you can use to fund a kyc-lite account (email only), at a much lower premium than for a regular ATM purchase. You can also pay bills from that kyc-lite account.

pinktrending

150k from an ATM seems pretty crazy. How did they keep refilling all of that money?

windinghigh

If you willingly give your ID to a Bitcoin ATM company that requires it to use their services then don't be surprised when they report your activities, crypto is no longer the wild west and these companies are giant enterprises that have strict reporting requirements just like every other crypto and Fiat brokerage. If you don't give your ID, then you're probably fine. These guys aren't going to track you down using CCTV and facial recognition to associate your account, at least not in 2025. Moral of the story is: if you give a financial institution your ID, expect them to report on it. The only naive move here was thinking a KYC enabled Bitcoin ATM is a way to avoid taxes.

Much_Anybody6493

of course just like withdrawing from coinbase and no reporting would do the same. He gave the ATM his ID lol

Or use an ATM that only requires a phone number and get a burner phone and spend the money as cash. Better yet, do it in another country.

I have some bitcoin in a Roth IRA, and if there was the will to do it in the banking industry, they could make it happen. I could deposit $7,000 once a year in a bitcoin Roth IRA, and I "should" be able to spend that money whenever I please with no tax hit. If the spending was in the form of a credit card/ATM card, why not?

Justsomedudeonthenet

You didn't deposit $40 and receive $26. You deposited $40 and received some amount of bitcoin. There shouldn't be any tax involved. Tax is what the government collects. But there usually are fees involved - the actual transaction fees plus whatever extra the ATM operator wants to charge. They also might not give the best available exchange rates.

TheBakedGod

Yes the fees are outrageous at the ATM's. Just buy from an exchange like everyone else

vijsha79

It depends. MSTY uses ATM CC to maximize the premiums which runs a risk of shares being called away or gold digger (as RoD calls them). 10-delta 30-45 DTE are much lower risk and could be used to generate decent cash flow while giving you enough protection if the MSTR price moves 30-40%.

tldr; A 73-year-old woman from Delhi Township recovered $35,000 lost to cryptocurrency scammers after falling victim to a Microsoft impersonation scam in 2024. The scammers convinced her to convert $41,750 into Bitcoin via a Bitcoin ATM, claiming her computer was compromised. Prompt action by the Delhi Township Police and Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation led to freezing the funds and recovering most of the stolen money.

It’s probably a Ledger Nano that needs to be plugged into a computer with a USB cable to function. So there are two passwords to look for. The first one is a PIN. It’s likely to be either 4 digits or 8 digits. Ask her if there is a 4 or 8 digit number she would typically use. I would try the PIN to her ATM card first. People might also use a birthday or the code to something like a safe or garage door. You can try some PINs but the device will eventually erase itself after to many incorrect tries. The second password to look for is a 12 or 24 word list. This is the recover phrase for the wallet. You can literally erase the ledger and still be able to recover the wallet if you find this list. Ledgers come with little cards that these words are expected to be written on. One might keep that card in the original box, a safe, or a safety deposit box. It will look like this: https://cryptopotato.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/ledger_nano_s_4.jpg The recovery words are only words on this list: https://www.blockplate.com/pages/bip-39-wordlist So if she saved these 12 or 24 words on her computer (which is a terrible idea btw), she might have saved the BTC after all. Perform a search on the computer for literally every word on that list until you find a document with a list of them.

....perhaps, but there's no way a 25% tax on unrealized gains would've stuck for anyone anyway. Not sure about you but my BTC is in cold storage and crypto tax reporting is based on sales, so if I'm not selling, there are no gains to pay tax on and like hell if I'm gonna tell the IRS what I'm holding unless I have to. By the time it's actually worth withdrawing, I might just grab a flight to Dubai and withdraw it all from one of those sweet Bitcoin ATM machines lol.

", you say to the police officer as he tries to escort you out of the building. "NO- WAIT!" He's pulling you from the ATM as it prints your ticket. You barely grasp it with one finger but the cop pistol whips you on the jaw. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" You suddenly break free. You were wearing a full-body button suit and the cop was unaware. Now he's holding the suit in his sweaty palms as you run out into the sun fully nude.

The year gets crazier, and the politicians giddy off every time things go their way, and everything is sus on the globe. The simple citizen observes, if they are lucky enough - and if they can think critically then they're probably tired. Real tired. They probably find solace in footprints in the mud, and damselflies trying to dodge hail as everyone runs out to the parking to cover their cars. But it's too late, all the lambos are totaled, and suddenly you wake up, but you're sitting in a chair at the bank, and security is tapping you on the shoulder. You've been a derelict all along, but no one knows you've implanted your seed phrase under your bottom lip. Obviously, you go to the closest ATM and purchase more BTC before the cops see you.

cyborg_elephant

I believe it's part of the manipulation. Their 8-k filing was very vague. An at-the-market offering 'from time to time at the corporations sole discretion" to use for "general corporate purposes including buying bitcoin" So they're gonna dump a bunch of stock on a day when insiders have short positions but they are the only ones who know when up to $2B of stock will be sold off ATM. Super sketchy. And then use the proceeds for whatever the fuck they want. While the headlines all say it's to buy bitcoin, the SEC filing suggests they're likely using it for other reasons. On the surface it looks like a Strategy strategy, but I honestly believe it's more of a fraud strategy. Any leverage on mara is basically going to be stolen from you but a long term hold has potential.

The bonds are issued privately to EVO Fund which holds a ton of Metaplanet shares. So it is in their interest to help Metaplanet pump their bitcoin bag. They've been doing it for months now and so far it continues working great to their mutual benefit. Evo Fund also helps Metaplanet with ATM, since in Japan you can't do that yourself like MSTR does in US. So, Evo fund basically short sells their shares ATM and then Metaplanet issues more shares to them to replenish. It's not _exactly_ like that, but net effect is the same. Anyway, I don't want to type an entire dissertation here, but this whole thing has been working great since they started :) Source for the above: I'm a shareholder and follow their disclosures.

Antique_Wrongdoer775

How can you trust anyone you connect with on one of these exchanges? Is there a high fraud rate? Then, silly question, would an ATM sell you bitcoin if you were wearing fake glasses with a big nose and mustache disguise?

SmoothGoing

Bar has to pay processor fees for accepting your card. It's a convenience to both them and the customer. They could just be a cash only bar and have an ATM on site so if you came with a card it would be up to you to pay ATM fees to get cash out. As for minimums there are different rules and contract terms and laws governing all that. At one time the merchant could not impose a minimum payment per their contract with the payment processor (Visa, MasterCard, Amex, Discover). And it was just a store policy that could be challenged. But whether they get in trouble if someone complained is unclear. Nor how it works in different parts of the world. You can always not be customer and go somewhere else. Unless you can't and that's the only game in town. Bitcoin also has fees and they are paid by the sender. Lightning requires a funded channel so that businesses will have to put in as much as they need to accept. Isn't ideal since it effectively freezes capital that can't be used for salaries or supplies and other business things. And this option will cover a tiny percentage of customers who are in tune with lightning payments. The vast majority will still be paying by other means. At least for the time that purchases with BTC are taxable events which comes with some heavy reporting overhead.

Starwaverraver

Trust wallet fees are dodgy. Just looked and they say they have nothing to do with it and say the current bitcoin transfer fee is $3. Yet you can see online a priority transfer ATM is $0.23. Not trust worthy.

Real money is also fake money, but it's government enforced and therefore government approved money... Still very fake to be real, it's lent into existance, fractionally inflated as well as printed out of nothing, not backed by anything... I mean the path from fiat money to cryptocurrency is one based on people's trust of a trustless network and that scares people, adoption is a pain but do note that people adopted many technologies in the last 200 years... Do you think the mail industry liked the telephone, or telephone companies liked the internet? All everybody has done to align with new inventions is align with the ones that are following an adoption curve and hope that they picked the right technology... ATM Bitcoin has no contest really, so until that changes we can only trust in the first mover advantage and network growth rate...

The first question is more or less answered by others below and is a basic guess, not to mention it is possible to upgrade Bitcoin before that treat becomes a reality. Your last question; it will be as safe as you taping your bankpass with the PIN written on it on an ATM. The whole Bitcoin system is based on you doing some thinking yourself. Not just assuming things or believing others but to verify. You can formulate the right questions after some help, so you can think.

Bitcoin ATMs usually don't offer options to cash out but you can use the app to cash out on partner ATM network such as the touch screen NCR ATMs you see at CVS and Walgreens

No stupid questions here! It works by inserting physical cash into the ATM. You paste your wallet into the app and after you insert the cash into the ATM to buy the Bitcoin, the ATM will scan your wallet off of the app. And yes companies like Unbank are safe as long as you are the one buying the crypto and putting it into your own wallet.

The ATM scans a QR code on your phone for your personal wallet. After you insert the cash, it sends the coin through the network.
