On Thursday, March 20, 2014, Robocoin unveiled its new Bitcoin ATM in Mountain View at the 500 Startups’ Bitcoinferance. It then was moved to a permanent home down the block at Coinage, LLC.
“The Las Vegas-based company was the first to install a Bitcoin ATM in the U.S. last month — and it’s expanding quickly,” wrote Biz Carson in Gigaom. “The company’s first ATM debuted in Vancouver in October 2013 and Robocoin has since added a second in Canada, four ATMs in Texas and just shipped 10 units overseas. The majority of this happened in the last month under the shadow of MtGox’s collapse and the confusion over Satoshi Nakamoto.”
