Thanks for sharing this article @zer0hedge. It is interesting to see Bitcoin ATMs overtaking installation rates of traditional ATMs, although there are already so many ATMs in the world, that there is not a huge need to install many more, so this does not necessarily mean much as a statistic.
I used one of these a few years back when there was only one in my entire country. But I agree that there are now much more privacy issues with these Bitcoin ATMs. As their manufacturers try to comply with the regulations being imposed on the market, there are a lot of identification processes implemented, such as the mobile phone number that you mentioned.
Personally, I would not feel comfortable using a burner phone; I don't know why, but it would just feel like I was doing something dodgy, even though I wasn't!
Thanks again for sharing this update, keep up the great quality content!
