Bitcoin is gaining popularity wordwide, not only bitcoin but the entire cryptocurrency space and i think that is a good thing! Its getting more and more (mainstream)media attention and its value is steadily increasing which in my opinion is likely to continue. There are all kind of developments taking place and one of them is the emergence of Bitcoin ATM's , the number of Bitcoin ATM's worldwide has increased from 948 ATM's on the January 1st of 2017 to 1191 ATM's May 18th 2017 thats an average of almost 2 ATM's each day
So you could say Bitcoin is getting more and more accepted troughout the world but like i said the whole cryptocurrency space is! one of the first Bitcoin ATM's is here in the Netherlands is placed at The high tech campus in Eindhoven where people can not only buy but also sell bitcoin which is allready fantastic but last week news came out that they are also going to add Ethereum to the ATM withing the next 2 months.
More Coins
So with Bitcoin and Ethereum available at the ATM and blockchain technology gaining popularity they are looking to add more coins in the future. cant wait for that moment!

This is pretty interesting, and I'm surprised that they aren't offering Litecoin. I wouldn't be surprised if Coinbase started making ATM's in the near future, though I guess that they have pretty much installed one in everyone's pocket.
i think that litecoin will be amongst the currencies that wil be added later, yeah thats true, i think its just a temporary thing these ATM's because like you said almost everyone has one in his pocket, but its a good thing to bring it under the attention the people, thanks for your comment! much appreciated
I wouldn't be surprised to see the regulated currencies rolling out in the near future as well. I tried to address thier strengths in my post on Ethereum(ETH) and analysis on Ripple(XRP).
Thank you for sharing!
Very interesting news.
I'm studying very near to that place, I'll be sure to have a look at it some time soon.
