Maybe your local gas station now has a sticker on the front door. Buy Bitcoin here! Has anyone used or seen anyone using these machines yet? You must know how these work. I'm guessing there has to be fees. I'm seeing the business that controls these is called coinsource. In fact,We have one of those coinflip crypto atms in the store I work at. Little old lady comes in talking on the phone, is trying to figure out how to work it. So I go over to help. I'm already concerned because the elderly don't normally do crypto stuff.
