TowerBTM, Another Bitcoin ATM Player in the Market
TowerBTM has made available its new range of Bitcoin ATMs with great features and futuristic design.
Bitcoin has grown a lot bigger since it started, as the number of people using bitcoin has increased exponentially except for the number of merchants accepting it. Also, the inherent properties of this digital currency has made it one of the most favored currencies among tourists as it saves them the hassle of currency conversion and other charges associated with it. Moreover it is safer to carry bitcoin than fiat currency while in a new place.
However, the lack of merchants accepting bitcoin makes it necessary for bitcoin users to exchange it to local fiat currency. Using online bitcoin exchange is more time consuming as they have to wait for the money to be credited to their account and then withdraw it using conventional means. Bitcoin ATMs or Bitcoin Teller Machines (BTMs) offers an easier and a faster way to exchange bitcoin to fiat currency. The process is almost instantaneous, offering a lot of convenience to bitcoin users which includes both tourists and locals alike.
