Of course you notice something! Exactly in the middle of Europe, between Benelux and Poland, Denmark and Austria, Switzerland and the Czech Republic, a huge, screaming white spot. Germany forms the front of the Bitcoin ATM refusers with some democratically and economically rather weak-breasted states such as Belarus, Bosnia and Moldavia.

After all, the only German ATM is in the most beautiful city in the world, namely in Bamberg in Upper Franconia. He stands in the “Hackerspace” which is a kind of clubhouse for technically creative. Under the coat of the club activity, you can even smoke there or go into a WLAN unannounced.

Satoshi Bay once wanted to bring Bitcoin-Atms to Germany and started a trial run in Munich. After a short time the machine had to be dismantled again. Since then – since January 2015 – the company “With High pressure” has been working on finding a solution to set up ATMS in a regulated environment. It does not seem to have been found until now.

In Bochum and Berlin, too. But they all failed after a relatively short term. In Berlin, after receiving wind from a machine, Bafin wrote to everyone who was known to her in connection with Bitcoins and asked not to apply for a license, but to remove the thing. And immediately!
