What is a Bitcoin ATM? Here's how it's different from banking ATMs

什麼是比特幣ATM？這是與銀行自動取款機不同的方式

Like traditional ATMs, Bitcoin ATMs are kiosks that allow you to purchase or sell crypto by using cash or your own credit/debit card. Also known as BTMs, you can cash out your Bitcoin at a Bitcoin ATM, according to the personal finance website Bankrate.

像傳統自動取款機一樣，比特幣ATM是售貨亭，可讓您使用現金或自己的信用/借記卡購買或出​​售加密貨幣。根據個人理財網站Bankrate的說法，您也稱為BTMS，您可以在比特幣ATM上兌現比特幣。

Unlike traditional banking methods, however, cash withdrawals are made through a QR code that the machine provides. You then send your Bitcoin via the QR code before receiving your cash minutes after.

但是，與傳統的銀行方法不同，通過機器提供的QR碼進行現金提取。然後，您在收到現金鐘之前通過QR碼發送比特幣。

What is Bitcoin and why is it so popular?

什麼是比特幣，為什麼如此受歡迎？

Bitcoin is a type of digital currency that can be bought, sold, and mined. It acts as a form of payment that's not governed by a single entity, according to Investopedia. It's run on the Blockchain, a record-keeping system of computers that tracks crypto transactions.

比特幣是一種可以購買，出售和開采的數字貨幣。 Investopedia稱，它充當不受單個實體管轄的付款方式。它是在區塊鏈上運行的，該區塊鍊是一個跟踪加密交易的計算機的記錄保存系統。

Bitcoin has a limited supply, and because it's a decentralized system, it's not issued by central banks or authorities, USA TODAY reports. While known for its price volatility, some investors have become rich by investing in the coin at the right time.

《今日美國》報導，比特幣的供應有限，由於它是一個分散的系統，因此不是由中央銀行或當局發行的。儘管以價格波動而聞名，但一些投資者在正確的時間投資硬幣而變得富有。

Are Bitcoin ATMs safe? Americans lost over $60 million in BTM scams last year

比特幣ATM安全嗎？去年，美國人損失了超過6000萬美元的BTM騙局

Planning to use a Bitcoin ATM? The rise of BTMs doesn't come without risk, as Bitcoin ATM fraud is on the rise.

計劃使用比特幣ATM？ BTM的興起並非沒有風險，因為比特幣ATM欺詐正在上升。

The Federal Trade Commission found that during the first six months of 2024 alone, consumers lost around $65 million to Bitcoin ATM kiosks; older adults over 60 were the most vulnerable. Scammers will impersonate a government official, tech support, or business and urge victims to remove cash out of their bank accounts and instead deposit it into a Bitcoin ATM for added "protection."

聯邦貿易委員會發現，僅在2024年的前六個月中，消費者向比特幣ATM售貨亭損失了約6500萬美元。 60歲以上的老年人最脆弱。詐騙者將冒充政府官員，技術支持或業務，並敦促受害者將現金從其銀行帳戶中刪除，而是將其存入比特幣ATM中以增加“保護”。

The FTC notes that the scammers will give victims a QR code. Once scanned at the machine, their cash is deposited straight into the scammers’ crypto account. The agency also cautions against clicking on suspicious links, responding to unexpected calls or messages, or swiftly moving funds if rushed.

FTC指出，騙子將為受害者提供QR碼。一旦在機器上進行掃描，他們的現金將直接存入騙子的加密帳戶。該機構還警告不要單擊可疑鏈接，響應意外的電話或消息，或者如果急於迅速搬遷資金。

"Don’t believe anyone who says you need to use a Bitcoin ATM, buy gift cards, or move money to protect it or fix a problem. Real businesses and government agencies will never do that – and anyone who asks is a scammer," the FTC writes.

FTC寫道：“不要相信任何人說您需要使用比特幣ATM，購買禮品卡或移動資金來保護或解決問題的人。真正的企業和政府機構永遠不會做到這一點 - 任何問的人都是騙子。”
