ATM

yes I know that it's an online currency it's crypto but i thought there were like bitcoin ATM machines to load it onto an account

If you do business with Coinbase, they can issue you a debit card which you can use for purchases or at ATM's.  Each transaction with the card triggers an automatic exchange of BTC to USD.

djscoox

The key is to avoid touching fiat. It may take time, but the moment people start accepting Monero (or other privacy coin) as payment, the problem goes away. The problem ATM is people think of crypto as an investment, not as a payment method.

Bitcoin ATM machines but you’ll pay a huge fee, you can usually buy a small amount with cash and no KYC

Come to Switzerland and go to the BTC ATM.

IBIT is barely holding $50, and the QQQ is near ATM ... IBIT top was at $70 2 months ago...they're selling!!!

AppearanceNo8602

I got the discount so it was $30 for the year. Can only trade $500/mo. But Coinbase rip off by changing the sell/buy price. This makes insane same with CashApp. Crypto has become an expensive ATM machine. Im trading at very low volumes so I recognize every dime they nip off the tip.

I don't know how Mstr could go up decent amount when Saylor keeps doing ATM.

Well I buy in different ways because they are not very strict where I live, so sometimes Binance, sometimes P2P, and in the past other ways when there weren’t that many options, but if I lived somewhere where they wanted to tax me for having BTC, I would explore options to hide it. I mean, there’s nothing really associating a wallet address to an individual’s ID, so can’t someone not get cash out the ATM and look for someone selling (P2P), they transfer the BTC to your address and you give them the cash? How would the government find out you own BTC? Especially if you’re holding long-term. That’s why I was curious. Fortunately I don’t have to do all of that here but it’s crazy for me to think people are freely telling their government how much BTC they own, when from my perspective, the idea of BTC is to take the power back, gain autonomy over your money, and because governments are not to be trusted, especially here where governments are so corrupt. For example, there’s an issue here where a public bank (owned by the state) leaks client data to scammers, so I’d be afraid that they know I have X amount of BTC because they could have insiders trading my information and making me a target. I wouldn’t want them knowing all of this, so it’s crazy people are sharing all these details with their government and paying then taxes for money they own.

Walking by an early bitcoin ATM in about 2015, and thinking, who would throw away money like that? it's 'play money'. Damn.

I sadly had this same experience, only it wasn't $50K. I was withdrawing $4.8K in cash to purchase a gaming/ai/ml computer 5090 waterforce RTX, AIO liquid cooler, etc. It's a cash only transaction and the bank kept asking why I needed the money. After withdrawing and providing the cash, they called me later and left a VM almost in a panic that made it come across like the bank was doing something sketchy. TLDR; I bank with Charles Schwab - they don't have their own ATMs but allow you to use their debit card at any ATM with $1K daily limit. I had 3 days to purchase the computer (not because the seller was pressuring me, but because I run my own startup and use my computer to run Residential VPS instead of paying for Vast/RunPoid/Fly.io etc and the machine I used was failing) I set up a free checking account with a local bank to use to transfer money to for cash withdrawals only. Then went to the bank to withdraw the money I had transferred. Was completely honest about what I use the account for, why I withdrew the money. Had a pleasant transaction, but after leaving the bank called, kept asking if questions like: Did the seller reach out to you, or did you reach out to them? What did you use the money for? Even after I confirmed it was for a computer again, and told them I had the computer in my possession, they then asked me to send bank statements of my connected account. This made no sense, because 1) Charles Schwab was connected to my bank account via Plaid, so why would they need me to email proof my of my bank statements for an external account via email which is already unsecure? 2) Why are they policing me over how I spend my money when I clearly stated what the cash was for and that I had the computer in hand and was actively testing it 3) Why did such a small cash withdrawal of $4.8K raise such a huge concern? I get that they have a right to ask if I was being scammed, but the questions OTP didn't stop there. If I: 1) Confirmed I had the computer in hand and wasn't scammed, why did they still block my online access and ask me to send a bank statement of an external account already connected via Plaid? 2) I also walked into Charles Schwab and they informed me they don't carry cash on hand. They can only do wire transfers. The entire experience has made me skeptical of where any of my money actually is. If it's mine, and I've worked for it, why am I being treated like a criminal under prosecution for simply wanting to withdraw what I already own? It's understandable if it were $50K but man, $4.8K seriously?

Post is by: rishikeshkubasad and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1ppvt1d/memecoin_trading_finally_clicked_for_me_after/ Meme coins have been insane this cycle but, being honest, I was mostly the exit liquidity. My usual pattern: * See a coin trending on Twitter or Dexscreener. * Ape in late, chase a green candle, then watch it bleed while early buyers dump. * Repeat until tilted. A couple months back I joined a group called **The Trenches Premium** on Whop and it’s the first time I’ve had something more structured than “scroll CT and pray”. What it actually includes (from my experience): * **Real‑time meme‑coin calls** in Telegram with clear entries/exits instead of vague “I like this coin” vibes.​ * Access to **sniper bots, volume scanners, and wallet trackers** to catch launches / rotations early instead of chasing after CEX listings or TikTok pumps.​ * A **step‑by‑step crypto course** so newer people understand wallets, risk, and basic on‑chain stuff, not just “buy this now”.​ * **1‑on‑1 / team coaching calls** and a pretty active community sharing plays, journaling, and post‑trade breakdowns.​ Who it seems best for: * People already trading or wanting to trade **meme coins actively** and willing to treat it like a serious high‑risk/high‑reward game.​ * Traders who want tools + community + education in one place (instead of separate bots, courses, and random Discords).​ Stuff to be aware of: * It’s not cheap: around **60/week** for the main membership, so if you’re not trading size or won’t show up daily, it’s overkill.​ * This isn’t a magic ATM. You can still lose money if you ignore risk or copy trades blindly; meme coins are extremely volatile.​ If anyone wants to see the exact group I’m talking about, this is the Whop page I used to join (affiliate link, supports me but same price for you): 👉 [ACCESS HERE](https://whop.com/the-trenches-join/the-trenches-join?a=wearycliff) If the mods don’t want links here, I’ll remove it and just DM it to people who ask.

tldr; Retailers like Circle K are profiting from hosting crypto ATMs, despite a surge in scams targeting users. Bitcoin Depot, a major operator, has placed thousands of machines in Circle K stores, generating significant revenue. However, scams involving these ATMs have led to substantial consumer losses, with victims often coerced into transferring money under false pretenses. Critics argue that both Bitcoin Depot and Circle K should take more responsibility for consumer protection, as scams continue to proliferate alongside the growing crypto ATM industry. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Didn't the regulations change at the start of 2025 now requiring KYC for all ATM transactions?

Severe-Masterpiece61

I agree with you, 5% spread is very acceptable for the opportunity to buy bitcoin KYC-free. However, non-KYC bitcoin ATM are exceedingly rare, and if it is KYC, there is no point in using it. You might as well just use an exchange

ReliantToker

ATM has a very minimal affect on price action. The algorithm they use is programmed this way. A perfect example would be shortly after the mnav guidance announcement. ATM stopped stock still dropped. This stock has absolutely ripped to the upside the last 5 years. You have to understand that even at these prices some are still up around 7x on initial investment. Then you have short sellers piling on due to sentiment. Banks spreading FUD because the MSTR model is disruptive to theirs. Alot of forces are working at the same time here. In the end it doesn't matter because bitcoin will do what bitcoin does and MSTR will keep stacking and become one of the most valuable companies in the world.

Agitatednunchuck

Been a share holder of MSTR for a year now. If price goes up, Saylor hits the ATM to buy more bitcoin and the price comes right back down again. MSTR will only moon shot if Bitcoin goes up significantly and Saylor stops buying bitcoin which will rocket the mNAV up. Won’t happen any time soon if I was a betting man.

Just saw for the first time a bitcoin ATM in Sydney!! It’s welcome change and I’m seeing first hand more people in my personal life getting behind it (without my recommendation) so expect more positive changes in the next few years

When was there btc (ATM’s) at the same time btc was $25 🤔 the math ain’t mathing I think your mate might be lying

agentlardhat

First BTC ATM was in Vancouver in 2013, second probably in Bratislava and Prague

Puzzleheaded-Dot-762

Your friend is a pathological liar. You think they started building multiple Bitcoin ATM all over the world before BTC was 25 dollars per btc? 

crunchyeyeball

The first bitcoin ATM in the the US was installed on February 18, 2014, but was removed shortly after: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin_ATM At that time, the price was around $600-$700 and never again fell anywhere close to $25: https://charts.bitbo.io/price/ Your friend certainly didn't buy a $25 bitcoin from an ATM, but if you know roughly where or when this might have been, he might have bought some fraction of a bitcoin, though the odds of recovering it are slim without knowing more details. You could try posting an image of the "receipt" (with any key details redacted, of course). That might give us an idea of what actually happened.

Soggy_Cracker

They aren’t ever going to let one person make a withdrawal so large to prevent them from servicing their other clients with Cash On Hand. You usually need to call in advance or be ready to visit multiple branches for a large transaction like that. I had a business customer who every Thursday would Have a 400-500k withdrawal for their ATM business. Never failed because we ordered cash to meet their needs.

tldr; A 71-year-old woman in Westlake was scammed into depositing $5,500 into a cryptocurrency ATM despite warnings from police and store employees. The scammer, posing as a bank fraud investigator, convinced her to act under the pretense of protecting her savings from theft. The scam began with a fake virus alert on her computer. Law enforcement froze the scammer's crypto wallet, but it is unclear if the victim will recover her funds.

Dismal_Bumblebee_299

I needed to pull out 15k one day and the tellers had me use to business ATM that had high limits and more cash than they had access to. And this was a busy branch of a large national bank.

Limp_Complaint1785

Ya this is pretty dumb tbh. I'm a fan of bitcoin but bank branches don't just carry everyone's cash in a vault to withdraw at any moment in every branch. As someone who runs an ATM business, I need to call every week to make a special order to take out substantial amounts at a time. If you call ahead they'll give you as much as you want. If you need a large sum on a consistent basis, expect to pay for that with services like brinks armored car delivery. They have your money they just don't keep it everyone's entire balance in whatever branch you feel like visiting that day for security purposes.

physics515

I have yet to find a bank branch near me that isn't "cashless" meaning the ATM is the only cash they have. And I live in a fairly large city.

Aazimoxx

Maybe in a branch that regularly handles large cash amounts (like one next to a casino lol)? But not a smaller regional location or in the suburbs. It's simply a logistics and liability issue; a standard suburban branch is likely only insured for up to $100-150k across all sources (tellers, in the vault and ATM refill) at any given time, without extra security in place. In practice it's often under 100k. For a central/big city branch, these numbers are only doubled. Usually to service requests like the OVP's, they have to arrange more to be delivered by armoured vehicle. This doesn't mean they don't *have* $50k sitting there, but rather that they can't give out more than half their sitting cash to a single transaction and potentially drain their float below a policy-defined amount without good reason. These on-hand cash reserves have generally only halved over the last 50 years, so it's not as dramatic as all that. Walking into a branch 30/40/50 years ago and expecting to walk out with 50-100k same-day was almost always going to be a recipe for disappointment then too. 🤷

Faxon

It's perfectly doable to keep old notes in circulation. In the US they're all left to circulate until they wear out. Banks regularly take old beaten notes and get them replaced, but we've never had an issue doing it this way, and when the counterfeiting proof notes started coming out you could still find the old ones around for a looooong time. I got an ancient $20 like this not that long ago out of an ATM as well, so they're still out there even for larger amounts.

poisito

in some banks in the US … or at least in Schwab, wire transfers are free , same as ATM withdrawals..

Difficult_Collar4336

I tried to withdrawal $12k once to pay for my new roof - they only let me get $10k, said I could get another $1k from the ATM….told me for amounts higher than $10k I should arrange it in advance.

VirginiaSlimmed

So you would be ok with a bank giving grandma her life savings in cash to dump in a Bitcoin ATM because she thinks she is in love with Keanu Reeves?

Zaytion_

When they get cash, ATM companies are quickly coming to grab it, they daily are grabbing cash from banks to fill up ATMs. It doesn't provide any value just keeping bills in the back.

pk9417

Bro can be happy to get this amount from just 2 bank branches in just one day. He has no idea how real limitations look like. If you want withdrawal a higher sum in Germany then I guess 5000 or 10.000€ not sure how much exactly it is now,you have to fill a form and the bank has to organize it first to be able to pay out. Regularly from the ATM, you get between 500-1000€ per day allowed to be withdrawn

bitcoin_islander

I cant even withdraw $1000 from the ATM most days. When I ask the teller about this (since I inevitably have to que in the long like up), they tell me that the ATMs just run out of cash and to try a different one, or to try again tomorrow. This is in a major city with millions of people downtown bank, so not some backwater country bumpkin, and still no cash.

ripple4me

Can you exchange it for an anonymous crypto like monero? Then exchange it when you need to back to a crypto that you can sell in person or cash out in small increments at a Bitcoin ATM or even buy something physical like gold? I've thought about this lol

mikkeltaylor1

They’re not selling . Either ATM then holding cash for future divs or something new to raise more fiat for btc

RevolutionaryStaff42

There is kyc depending on how much you deposit. I've used Bitcoin ATM's a few times but the fees are a major deterrent. Unless you're a person that can't or won't get a bank account these ATMs are the absolute last resort

Apristo

My opinion is someone who endorsed Bitcoin want to selling up price and re-create BTC ATM cash machine to makes BTC has utilities token or for money laundering for some reason, Like if you won a huge amount of money from Casino, probably the best thing you can do fo cross border payment and safety to keep your money is, BTC

Shot-Maximum-

Because it would push the incentive more towards using digital payment solutions which I prefer that are more secure and more convenient. I honestly don't know the last time I withdrew money from an ATM and many of the stores in Germany still refuse card payments, or only allow Giro/EC cards instead of credit cards.

Capital-Road-7815

100% truth I can't even lie I was one of those idiots many years back when I sold off a ton of BTC worrying it would drop through the floor and end up with Pennies on the dollar. That was back when BTC went from dam near $10 up to about $3k-5K it was fluctuating up and down with people swearing it was gonna crash I saw it hit that $3k and sold needless to say after it shot back up above $10K a month or so later I did the smart thing and dove into BTC their structure, strategy and the entire crypto ecosystem there really is no way for BTC to die! I don't think it's idiotic to think that way but if you do anything today go online and do some real research into BTC you can see how strong their position is and you also have to think this is one of the best international currencies. You can use BTC anywhere the have ATM's to buy and use BTC their is an ecosystem inside the ecosystem they have a set number of coins not like paper money which is printed dam near daily and it holds no real value it's not backed by precious metals and if a bank decides to close its doors tomorrow and shut down their online banking what would you do with no access to physical currency? BTC is reliable and the ability to use it anywhere at any time no matter what's happening in the world makes it unstoppable it will have its ups and downs but it's going to be the staple of currency not only now but also in the future! Do some reading before you just bail on the biggest Crypto ever!

MonsieurReynard

Indeed. Good point. I was a customer of Washington Mutual bank in 2008, and had about $25k on deposit there. When the feds shut them down in the wake of the MBS crisis, I lost access to my money for one day, a Sunday when the bank was closed and my old ATM card didn’t work. (Even then I could still have written a check.) When the bank opened Monday morning i had a Chase account, Chase signs had replaced WAMU signs on the branches overnight, and I had full access to my funds. If I had put my money as BTC into Mt. Gox two years later, I might still be waiting to get made whole.

Because its a investment/pump and dump asset currently with very little usage compared to the dollar outside niche markets. Almost like gold ATM. Since you dont buy your food, get paid, pay taxes, pay bills, and buy houses, cars, take loans, primarily with Crypto it will stay that way. The dollar is still way stronger compared to it and it relies entirely on the dollar to actually stay afloat as the entire infrastructure for the coin itself if dollar dependent.

Why would you use coinbase? Such amount should be stored in cold wallet. Sell it on retroswap or in BTC ATM for cash. Milions would take some time, but its doable. In case you want to use coinbase/whatever - make accounts on as many sites like coinbase. Send daily $5k btc to coinbase or coinbase clone account and sell for cash. Not much here to discuss really.

What, you don’t believe the market is manipulated? What planet are you on. There is ample evidence with Btc alone that there is coordinated bots and stop losses hunters. Whales or big players have the pockets to snipe and drive prices and reap profits in either direction, it happens in stocks and happens here. I’m not a conspiracy theorist, a realist and I’m not an expert. My question remains, is there clear identity of the wallet clusters most active ATM. Other poster is partially right, crowd sentiment is active now and works to create a trend or volatility. I am very curious to know if any spot retail is left or active and or is it just market maker bots playing or whales positioning for the best next move. Halving aside, healthy correction aside, something smells iffy. Retail isn’t big enough to hunt like this. DYOR it’s not hard to find evidence of manipulation. It’s kinda more interesting to analyse the current situation cos it may reveal motive apart from greed.

rgnet1

Because it's BS. There's no free lunch. If you buy an ATM put with whatever contract period, the scenarios are: \- Bitcoin price declines. You still lose net worth, but you lose less than if you bought actual BTC. \- Bitcoin price is flat. You make a little money (the premium) versus holding BTC where your net worth is same. \- Bitcoin price increases. You would gain more value holding BTC directly. It's all just forms of betting with different terms. Like saying, "If my team wins by 2 points, I make more money than if they win by 10 points." Bottom line: If you believe in bitcoin, just buy bitcoin.

there is very little overhead. MSTR shareholders own it because Saylor is able to increase their btc per share over time (via ATM when Mnav>1 and other instruments), while keeping margin rate low.

I want a bank that lets me withdraw my balance as stablecoins as seamlessly as it is to withdraw as cash at a ATM or swipe my card and buy something.

My mother drove to two separate BTC ATM’s and both ‘malfunctioned’. She’s 80, it’s more likely she couldn’t figure it out. The total would have been 5k not 23k.

This. And anyone who uses crypto regularly wouldn't need the ATM anyway, they'd have their own normal on ramp for crypto. Nearly every exchange on the planet has better spread and lower fees than these things. These devices should be removed everywhere.

Also, if $20 is taking you out then you shouldn't be focused on investing ATM. Focus on balancing your own income from a job first.

One of my friends selling USDT to a Chinese buyer at ₹110 per USDT, but after the INR was credited, the bank account got frozen. The buyer withdrew the money instantly from an ATM. Can someone please suggest a legit and trusted chinese USDT buyer? I also want to sell some safely and avoid getting scammed. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

No no no dude you don’t understand, of course all his bros with millions in liquid cash will be happy to be his ATM. Don’t all your bros have millions in cash, willing to trade it for a commodity that will In this case be more difficult to use? Passant

The truth is, aside from bitcoin and gold, - maybe real estate, you really don’t own anything. Your bank account is a line in a spreadsheet telling you what the bank thinks they owe you. A world shaking event can bring down your bank, ATM machines will go dark, and no one will take your check, anyway. For every suggestion of how bitcoin might be affected by existential threats, there’s a hundred people on Reddit screaming about being scammed. People need to spend more time paying attention to the danger at their door and less time prepping for a disaster that may not even be worth living through. Anyway, if and when the internet comes back, your bitcoin will be there. How many green beans each will buy is anyone’s guess.

Don't believe it. Institutional Investors are buying it up at huge discounts. This narrative is from the past oriented perspective of a day trader. Bitcoin is maturing. Please HODL.The game has changed. The rich are taking over. Watch as they create new commercial products to use it. They raise the price of Sats to create lending vehicles. Then the Billion dollar thresholds to gain control of new financial systems. By the time you notice, you are standing at an ATM paying interest on a purchase funded by a Bitcoin based product. It is happening so fast. HODL! Get your .1 of an actual coin, not an ETF. Good luck.

We had to walk uphill both ways to get to the BTC ATM to buy our sats. Kids these days.
