Is there some catch to these things? I need bitcoin for a couple things and my bank blocks attempted purchases of it from vendors which apparently doesn't happen on ATMs

Have you ever gone up and looked at one??? Actually read the letters and numbers on the screen?? It's not hard to find the catch...

I assume there's some fee, don't know what else you mean. Haven't seen them in person

High fees, somewhere between 10-14%

Gotcha.. yea some of the ones I have seen are extremely high market buys plus a fee. Once you actually see what the cost is, it's not worth it imo.

High fees and on the legit ones (maybe all by now?) KYC.

I met a guy who ones one of the BitCoin ATM networks in the US. Up there in terms of number of machines, but no the top. Told me the top one didn't follow certain KYC rules for a large amount.

He makes money, but price volatility and one reason why the prices are so high. They do photo KYC and have helped some customers who were being scammed by people who wanted to be paid in BTC.

Personally, I'd stick with an online exchange.

Eh I can deal with 10-15%, I'm only withdrawing around 60-70 anyway. My other option is selling gift cards which I'll lose 15-20% on anyway

If you are ok with it, then research the specific ATMs around you and do eeet.

Alright thanks, was mostly checking I wasn't going to get smacked with some bullshit besides an expected fee

Selling gift cards? Hello drug dealer anon. Make sure you get around the KYC with a fake ID and don't let the camera in the machine see you or else you're fugged if the fascist government ever tries to bust you
