Po vsej Ameriki bo nameščenih na tisoče Bitcoin bankomatov

Bitcoin ATMs have the potential to help the king coin go mainstream. If that’s the case, one country is definitely in the lead. After all, the United States of America currently has the most Bitcoin ATMs/tellers in the world. Yet, a new partnership could soon bring thousands more.

Bitcoin boom

The cryptocurrency company Bitcoin Latinum razglasitve that it had partnered with OSO ATMs for three years to install crypto ATMs across the US.

A press release from Bitcoin Latinum navedla,

"V okviru partnerstva bo OSO ATM pomagal Bitcoin Latinumu namestiti 100,000 bankomatov v vseh 50 zveznih državah ZDA, kjer lahko uporabniki preprosto kupijo žetone LTNM z uporabo svojih fiat valut."

Glede na sporočilo za javnost, OSO ATMs reportedly aimed to install 25,000 ATMs before the end of January 2022. The available currencies are stated to be Bitcoin Latinum [LTNM] and Bitcoin. Worth noting, however, that Bitcoin Latinum was untracked at press time and there was little information available about it on Coin Market Cap.

At the last count, the USA already had 26,414 Bitcoin ATMs and tellers.

Stvari, ki jih je treba spomniti

Pomembno je upoštevati, da je po namestitvi kripto bankomatov treba le-te tudi zavarovati.

Due to the decentralized and largely unregulated nature of crypto, lost money can be difficult to follow. Furthermore, double-spending transaction incidents have taken place, as že poročali.

In September, crypto exchange Kraken reported that it had ugotovljene ranljivosti in the General Bytes BATMtwo (GBBATM2) ATM range. Kraken’s report navedla,

»Naša ekipa je ugotovila, da je veliko število bankomatov konfiguriranih z isto privzeto skrbniško kodo QR, ki omogoča vsakomur s to kodo QR, da stopi do bankomata in ga ogrozi. Naša ekipa je odkrila tudi pomanjkanje varnih zagonskih mehanizmov, pa tudi kritične ranljivosti v sistemu upravljanja bankomatov."

Primerjaj s Kanado

When counting the number of Bitcoin ATMs and tellers in each country, the runner up is none other than Canada. Yet, the difference is large as Canada only has 2,033 kripto bankomati compared to the USA’s 26,414.

Even so, Canada’s Cape Breton Island recently got its very own Bitcoin ATM, courtesy of the LocalCoin company.

On the other hand, the popularity of Bitcoin ATMs across the country has also meant a rise in reports of scammers trying to scare people into handing over their money. Yet, on the flip side, more informed locals have been stepping in to help.
