I wonder what's the benefit for thieves stealing bitcoin ATMs to be specific ?
Won't it be the same for them to steal a bank ATM, although bank ATMs might be more secure than bitcoin ATM ?
After all, they just have to destroy the ATM and take the cash within it, isn't it ?
Yeah you're correct, in the end, the criminals can only take the cash. If the criminals are stupid enough, they destroy "buy only" Bitcoin ATM, so the criminals might not get anything even if they've destroy the machine.
The @OP think people who use Bitcoin ATM will be targeted by the criminals, but if there are many people use it, I don't think people would be targeted.
Not to mention people who use Bitcoin ATM mostly trade small amount, they just want the quick trade.
