什么是比特币ATM？这是与银行自动取款机不同的方式

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.

像传统自动取款机一样，比特币ATM是售货亭，可让您使用现金或自己的信用/借记卡购买或出​​售加密货币。根据个人理财网站Bankrate的说法，您也称为BTMS，您可以在比特币ATM上兑现比特币。

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.

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.

比特币是一种可以购买，出售和开采的数字货币。 Investopedia称，它充当不受单个实体管辖的付款方式。它是在区块链上运行的，该区块链是一个跟踪加密交易的计算机的记录保存系统。

《今日美国》报道，比特币的供应有限，由于它是一个分散的系统，因此不是由中央银行或当局发行的。尽管以价格波动而闻名，但一些投资者在正确的时间投资硬币而变得富有。

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

比特币ATM安全吗？去年，美国人损失了超过6000万美元的BTM骗局

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

计划使用比特币ATM？ BTM的兴起并非没有风险，因为比特币ATM欺诈正在上升。

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."

联邦贸易委员会发现，仅在2024年的前六个月中，消费者向比特币ATM售货亭损失了约6500万美元。 60岁以上的老年人最脆弱。诈骗者将冒充政府官员，技术支持或业务，并敦促受害者将现金从其银行帐户中删除，而是将其存入比特币ATM中以增加“保护”。

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，骗子将为受害者提供QR码。一旦在机器上进行扫描，他们的现金将直接存入骗子的加密帐户。该机构还警告不要单击可疑链接，响应意外的电话或消息，或者如果急于迅速搬迁资金。

"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写道：“不要相信任何人说您需要使用比特币ATM，购买礼品卡或移动资金来保护或解决问题的人。真正的企业和政府机构永远不会做到这一点 - 任何问的人都是骗子。”
