If we can get these to accept cryptocurrencies, it will be the holy grail of ATMs! Cryptocurrencies are borderless unlike the USD and other fiat currencies. If these ATMs can accept crypto, they can be deployed around the world.
I never thought I will see the day of a Goldback ATM, especially now. So is it really a pipe dream for a crypto to Goldback ATM?
I would prefer a Monero to Goldback ATM personally since I prefer Monero when it comes to cryptocurrencies. but even a Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash or Litecoin ATM will be an amazing leap forward.
Goldback works with the state governments to ensure legal protection from the feds. Hense why they only issue goldback in gold friendly states.
They are expensive to make since they could be almost double over spot, but it is the best solution currently for fractional gold in the form of a usuable currency. Adoption seems to be picking up, but slowly like bitcoin adoption was in the early 2010s.
