Leading japanese ATM manufacturer OKI has entered into Bitcoin ATM business.They are launching their first line of Bitcoin ATMs this month.The OKI electric company claims to be the first to develop world's first cash recycling ATM in 1982.It seems that all the companies who are pioneer in their fields are jumping into bitcoin industry to make utmost use of bitcoin development.
We do need more companies investing in the hardware ecosystem. With more ATM manufacturers, hopefully the price of an ATM will come down and we will see more ATMs in our neighbourhoods. A lot of people prefer buying bitcoins in person, rather than wiring money on the internet.
