I've been long fascinated with bitcoin ATM machines and love to spot them wherever I go traveling but haven't seen one for a long time in New York – are there any of them left in the city at all?
You can google for bitcoin ATM map and you would get your answer. Look at the links some users posted.
I keep hearing anecdotal stories of people using them but wonder if they are still considered a good way to buy bitcoin, given the steep fees these machines often charge.
Fees are an issue, you should compare it to selling bitcoin and getting fiat to pay, buying giftcards to pay and directly using bitcoin in the city.
Have you ever used a bitcoin ATM in NYC?
I live somewhere else and hence No. Where I live, there no bitcoin ATMs yet, the law enforcement confiscated the previous ones.
