Not me. It’s my wife and son who are currently travelling in Europe.
Yeah, my wife sent me some photos last weekend (see below) about a Bitcoin ATM (in some places, they are called BTM, i.e. Bitcoin Teller Machine). She knows that I am crazy about these cryptocurrencies and I have been talking these alien things to her in the past year.
I was excited to see those photos, but did not ask her for more details (I am pretty sure she did not use it as she has never handled any coins before) because I know it’s quite stressful travelling with a 5 years old boy alone in a foreign country (who the fxck has time to answer your trivial questions about this stupid machine! you should be thankful that I had time to take these photos and sent them to you already… I imagine^^)
Well, I have Google to help me. So, I soon found out that this machine belongs to a Czech startup company WBTCB, World BTC Business. Here is their website.
I have also found a story on coindesk back in 2014 about this company:

Based on the info from the website, I tried to locate the Bitcoin ATM my wife ran into. Turns out it’s inside a shopping center called Omega that Google Map doesn’t have a direct street view, but I can still imagine from the bird’s eye view. ^_^

This reminds me of my previous encounter with BTMs … Also in Europe and it was my first time! ^_^

I visited Prague last year, but have never been to Brno, a city that I can only associated with Milan Kundera. Now, since I have known that they have a bitcoin machines there, suddenly this city seems a lot friendlier to me now… lol
