Bringing Bitcoin to the Masses with Kiosks
summary
Bitcoin Depot runs a network of physical Bitcoin kiosks that reaches 5,000 active kiosks across the US and Canada, up from about 250 kiosks two years earlier. Kiosks let people buy and sell Bitcoin instantly at retail locations, targeting the unbanked who reportedly pay about $2,500 a year in fees to check‑cashing and payday lenders (sometimes advertised with APRs near 500%). The build is deployed and scaling as a low‑friction onramp for cash users.
