Bitcoin #ATMs

What is the general #Bitcoin community opinion about them?

My guess that nowadays is or will be mostly negative, because their operators will have to require #KYC of the customers (depends on #regulation). Am I right?

Aren't they still kyc-free under ~1k USD/EUR?

Arguably, the easiest KYC-free way to get some first sats.

They have pretty high fees. Partly by the imperfect information and competition, mostly due to the regulation requirementa and barriers to entry.

All the ones I’ve seen are kyc any amount

honestly, I do not know. I have not use any for a loong time, but it is the right question, as this used to be their biggest pros

I think the upcoming regulations force them to require KYC more and more.

If every ATMs will require it + the high premium, it will result in a usage decrease.

Opinions?
