I have never used a bitcoin ATM, nor have I ever seen one. All I know about it is what I've read from this forum and other sites, since I've never met anyone that have used it. So I would like to ask a few questions that I couldn't get the answer to online.
Though bitcoin ATMs sound enthusiastic logically, I don't support it that much when it comes to using it. Besides you also have to make use of your secondary wallets when you make use of them so you don't end up losing your Hodlings if you make a flimsy mistake.
Personally I'll always prefer to make use of
a bitcoin payments at the store instead even if it's a lightning transaction.
It's not only safer but also it's more convenient too if you ask me. I think stores don't accept sometimes because of dynamic rates and if that region doesn't really support bitcoin and crypto.
