Noticed that in the past 3 months, bitcoin ATM locations have increased by 15%. For the past 3 years, it has increased 23-fold.
Sorry if this seems dumb, but I don't know what a bitcoin ATM is. I guess it would be the same as a real life atm and instead of being able to retrieve money from it, you receive bitcoin from it. If anyone has a picture of a Bitcoin atm, please send me a pm with a imgur link please

How many Bitcoin ATMS are in the world now?
Why are bitcoin ATMs even a thing though? We have localbitcoins and other marketplaces so why would we go outside to buy bitcoin when we can just hop online and save time via localbitcoins?
