The fee advertisement is simply a marketing scheme in my opinion. If Bitcoin is currently at $71k, and you walk up to any and every btc atm I’ve ever used (which is a good amount) you’ll see that the price they are selling a Bitcoin for is probably over $80k, then you pay the 5%+\- on the $80k price. That’s where they get you my friend.
Now you may ask, why would an idiot such as me pay $80k+ for Bitcoin and a fee on top that, when they could go to an exchange online such as Coinbase and purchase it for around $70k? I only have one real answer for you, but I’m sure there are more. Anonymity.
There better options probably, but convenience plays a big roll in it also. It also doesn’t have to be the type of anonymity one needs to hide it from their perverted uncle Samual, could just be they are too lazy to open their own bank account and don’t want their spouse noticing where all that tip money they earn at work goes. Seriously though, other than those two reasons, I have no freaking idea why anyone else would use a crypto atm. The only other time I’ve seen someone at the btc atm was a poor little old lady on the phone and you could tell by her side of the conversation that she was on the phone with a scammer who was explaining to her how to send them $. Cruel world out there.
Would love to hear others opinions on why people choose to pay so much for using an atm as well.

Yes, anonymity is what I was looking for. You only find out about the 29% fee after you check your wallet. The other ATM's I have used charge 13%.
Coinbase wants you to upload your driver's license up to the internet. That's a good way to get burned by identity theft.
I recently joined up on a stock trading site called Tasty Trade. They have no charge for buying Bitcoin. They expect you to trade it on their site. I have not been able to find out if they allow you to transfer it to your personal wallet.

Bisq sounds similar but still reading about it. Don't mind an ATM with SMS Only but don't like the ID requirements on some.

For locating the nearest BTC ATM near you. The fees are tough but its an anonymous way of buying BTC.

Good morning Guys
- T @ Tinyfishnemo: Hope everyone has a good and safe weekend.
- T @ tylerderrden: Dunno
- S @ soupson: What happened to chem genie?
- D @ drdrizzy13: LSU is trash and has always been trash but a night game in death valley is unlike anything I've experienced. Except the first game back to the superdome reopened after Katrina destroyed it. Everybody was crying and drunk as shit lol. All time favorite in person sports moment ever.
- M @ meepmoopmeep: Kiffin is a traitor and he and LSU deserve each other since they’re both complete trash
- D @ drdrizzy13: yea he's a joke lol. Can't stand him.
- L @ Layne_Cobain: You know who rly sucks…lane kiffin 😂 dude is all that’s wrong with college sports or at least a big chunk of it…and he lied about being told he could still coach ole miss in the playoffs
- D @ drdrizzy13: Hey at least Ole Miss got in. I can't stand LSU. They really sucked this year.
- M @ meepmoopmeep: as an A&M fan I’m content with us missing the SECCG for that reason. Georgia about to fuck Alabama up
- D @ drdrizzy13: Yeah I agree if bama loses I think they are out. That would be 3 losses. I don't see a 3 loss team getting in this year.
- L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah that’s why sark was pleading his case about that Texas shouldn’t be punished for scheduling a non conference game against the best team and losing if they hadn’t done that they’d probably be in but oh well way it goes there’s always gonna be a few teams who get robbed or feel they got robbed even with a 12 team playofff…if bama loses to Georgia I’d think they’d be out but who knows
- D @ drdrizzy13: Alabama also lost to Florida State pretty bad. Whom Florida beat. I just think if they didn't decide to play ohio state the first game. They would be in with 2 losses instead of Alabama.
- M @ meepmoopmeep: @drdrizzy13 Texas lost to Florida of all teams, they weren’t heading for the playoffs anyways imo. At least not this year
- D @ drdrizzy13: Texas is offically out of the playoffs they didn't make the top 12. I do wish they were in it. They showed up against Texas AM. But there fatal flaw was scheduling Ohio State for their opening. Which would have been great if they won but they are a 3 loss team now.
- L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah idk about arch I could see him staying with Sark for another year but if he plays rly well in the playoff who knows that is if they get in
- D @ drdrizzy13: Man a lot of Saints fan want Arch but I think he said he is playing another year. I would take him probably. But if Texas AM QB comes out or Ohio State's I think you gotta take one if your picking top 2.
