So, saw this #btc #atm the other day at the mall.
Comes with a warning to never use it if someone asks you to pay in #crypto, which includes #government agents, etc.

Dang I kind of want to read the full disclaimer but it's too blurry. Sounds weird tho
It says:
It goes ahead listing examples such as sweetheart scams, oil rig equipment, Craigslist deals, etc.
And the final red line:
Oh that makes sense now. I was thinking they were referring to anyone to include private individuals that just so happened to have a preference for payment. I think must criminals with half a brain cell would probably use something like Monero anyway.
XMR is not mainstream enough to fool normies with.
Oil rig equipment? I'm interested what kind of great scam that is :D
Lol, I have no idea. I know there are refineries around here, but it seemed oddly specific.
They sometimes charge A LOT of external fees.
I have never used one myself, but that's what I've read from many people's experiences.
I've seen some with 50/50 payout and fees, a real honeypot type of machine.
Ugh...that sounds awful.
Very true.
hah 50% fee lol $120,000 for a 59K bitcoin yeah ive seen that.
people just have @cashapp cards now and @cryptocom cards
I wouldn't be caught dead using one of these, but always like seeing them out and about.
I wouldn't use them either. But, it's cool seeing them about.
The problem with these is transaction fees on BTC are so high now that unless you are doing thousands of dollars a purchase it's just not worth it. I was a bitcoin maximalist for a long time. I still think it's great as a secure, settlement layer, but for transactions under $1000 it's not worth it anymore. Lightning is stupid, saying this as someone who ran a lightning node.
Good, edgy marketing they got going though.
I wouldn't want to show people that I'm spending big on BTC in public anyways.
