Poland Welcomes Its First Two-Way Bitcoin ATM

Published at: Feb. 25, 2015

Bitcoinomat.pl, a project aiming to create the largest Bitcoin ATM network in Poland and abroad, announces it had successfully set up the first two-way Bitcoin ATM in Poland located in the city center of Warsaw.

Only three months after the opening of the first Bitcoin ATM in Poland at Bobby Burger, Bitcoinomat.pl, a collective of cryptocurrency enthusiasts, strikes back and announces its latest project, a two-way BitXATM device that allows users to buy and sell Bitcoins anonymously in less than one minute.

The two-way Bitcoin ATM is located at Five Restaurant, Grzybowska 5 street, Warsaw:

The owner of Bitcoinomat.pl, Andrzej Głowicki, stated:

"Bitcoin is the digital currency of the future. At the moment, around the world, more and more companies accept payments [in Bitcoin]. [...] Poland also follows this trend, and the mission of Bitcoinomat is [to set up] machines to facilitate the acquisition of the currency.

With [Bitcoinomat], you do not have [to register] in an exchange, give [your personal] data, wait for the transfer [to process]. Purchases and sales [using] our machines are immediate - you only [need] a Bitcoin wallet, cash and to be an adult."

The Bitcoin ATM is available everyday from 11am to midnight, and was installed with the help of Midgar. Bitcoinomat.pl charges 5% commission.

 

Bitcoinomat.pl aims to educate the Polish people on Bitcoin and promote its use throughout the country. The collective is looking to put Bitcoin ATMs at the "best possible locations in Poland", and also provides assistance to businesses wishing to implement Bitcoin payment solutions, as well as corporate training sessions on various Bitcoin-related topics.
