Robocoin's bitcoin ATMs are hitting the United States later this month, Reuters reported Tuesday. Robocoin is installing these automated teller machines in Seattle and Austin, Texas. The kiosks will let users buy and sell the digital currency, while using scanners to read government-issued identification, like a driver's license or a passport. People will be able to sell bitcoin for cash, buy more bitcoin, or transfer funds through a digital wallet. Bitcoin is a type of currency introduced in 2009, but it's only recently gained mainstream attention. As its use grows, more companies have found ways to build onthe popularity of the digital system, but it's also drawn the scrutiny of regulators. These new ATMs are not Robocoin's only machines. The Las Vegas company installed its first ATM in Vancouverlast fall. The company also has plans to roll out ATMs in other US cities, and in Asia and Europe. |
據(jù)路透社2月18日報道,Robocoin公司的比特幣ATM機將在本月下旬登陸美國。 Robocoin公司將在西雅圖和得克薩斯州奧斯汀??安裝這批比特幣ATM機。這批比特幣ATM機將允許用戶購買和出售數(shù)字貨幣,同時還能使用掃描儀來讀取政府簽發(fā)的身份證明,比如駕照或護照。人們將可以把比特幣兌換成現(xiàn)金,購買更多的比特幣,或通過數(shù)字錢包轉(zhuǎn)賬。 比特幣是一種在2009年推出的虛擬貨幣,但直到最近才得到主流媒體的關(guān)注。由于比特幣用戶的增多,越來越多的公司已經(jīng)找到方法來普及數(shù)字系統(tǒng),但這也受到了監(jiān)管部門的審查。 這批新的比特幣ATM機不是Robocoin公司僅有的機器。去年秋天,這個總部位于拉斯維加斯的公司在溫哥華安裝了首臺比特幣ATM機。該公司還計劃將比特幣ATM機推廣到美國其他城市,以及亞洲和歐洲。 (譯者 serenitylnj 編輯 丹妮) |
