The first Bitcoin ATM is still chugging, but will it go mainstream?

“The Vancouver bitcoin ATM opened for business on October 30 and, 29 days later, its operators claimed the machine had processed $1 million (about $920,000 USD) over the course of 1,500 transactions.  At the time, I had my doubts. Given the air of evangelicalism that surrounds so many things Bitcoin, it seemed possible that the ATM operators were puffing up the numbers.  I still don’t know if the $1 million figure is accurate, but I can say that, on December 27, people plunked thousands and thousands of dollars into the ATM. I know this because the ATM screen, which I could see from my table, shows how much money someone has inserted for any given session.”
