not really a lot of countries lack internet access these days it’s 2025 we have evolved and so does many countries if they do not have internet access i do not think they would be even needing ATMs or anything like that so i don’t think this is such a concern

in fact if this were to happen i am sure that many countries can provide it’s just a matter of interest

What about African countries such as Kenya and Nigeria? Do they have widespread Internet access? I doubt it. But if they do, then nothing should stop crypto from growing there. Vending machines accepting crypto payments are just the "tip of the iceberg". Imagine paying for train tickets, plane tickets, and even a taxi with crypto. It might eliminate the need for Fiat in its entirety.

I'm yet to see a real implementation of a crypto vending machine in the US. I'd bet it will accept stablecoins to eliminate "volatility issues". I sure hope no KYC is required. Otherwise, what use would they be to privacy-oriented crypto users?
