With media in tow, the first Bitcoin ATM opened at a downtown coffee shop in Vancouver, Canada.
The company behind the ATM, Bitcoiniancs, ordered five of the ATMs from Nevada-based RoboCoin. The other Canadian cities getting kiosks are Calgary, Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa.

Do you dumb dumbs buying bitcoins wonder who gets your 211.79 after you complete the purchase and why they want REAL money for the bitcoins they are selling after getting them for FREE, right out of cyberspace. This may top Wall street for scams.

I just created 1000 BITCOINS – anyone want to buy them? – available at a discount of 33% off the current price of $200 Canadian/coin?

Do you think Starbucks will accept my Bitcoins? How about Target? Or Chipotle? Oh that’s right, none of them will because Bitcoins are a fictitious thing that’s been made up and pumped by the few who look to scam the lemmings of society.

Indeed, just like the Federal Reserve and other central banks.
