Here’s a Map of All the Bitcoin ATMs
Ever wish that you could easily access your bitcoins and use them to purchase goods and services? Well, bitcoin may not be officially considered a currency, but technologists figured out the next best thing — creating a “Bitcoin ATM” that will dispense cash in exchange for you bitcoins, or will allow you to deposit or buy bitcoins. There are a number of companies working on this technology, including Robocoin, BitWallet, and Skyhook.
It seems like Bitcoin ATM’s are becoming more popular, too. According to a recent blog post, Skyhook announced that it shipped 150 ATM’s since May, when the company first launched its Bitcoin ATM line. The post says that “demand for the $999” device, and it also shipped 70 in the past month alone.
The problem is, since Bitcoin ATMs are so scarce, it’s hard to know where you can find one. (You’re out of luck in New York, for example, though the Bitcoin Center has two machines soon to come on line.) Luckily, Coindesk has a map of the entire country and locations where Bitcoin ATMs are. The map is crowdsourced, and may not be a comprehensive. Check out the map here.
