The distribution of bitcoin ATMs is uneven, mainly concentrated in the United States and European countries. I was surprised that Japan-only crypto-friendly country has only one bitcoin ATM, moreover Africa has only 3 Bitcoin ATMs.

Would be an interesting study (and it's probably worth a discussion anyway) but are there fewer bitcoin ATMs in crypto friendly countries because they are just not needed as much.

Using the one I posted about.
If I could go to Vegas and go to the cage (or even buy in at the table) with my BTC then I would not need an ATM.
If I could pay for my coffee / drinks / whatever with crypto instead of cash then I would not need an ATM.

So in countries where many retail merchants / locations take BTC at the register do you really need cash?
