Can you explain in simple terms how a Bitcoin ATM, or BTM, operates? I'm curious about the process of buying and selling cryptocurrency through these machines. Does it involve scanning a QR code, inserting cash, or what exactly happens when someone interacts with a BTM? Additionally, are there any verification steps or limits to the amount of cryptocurrency that can be transacted through these machines?
Some BTMs offer additional services, such as allowing users to check their Bitcoin balances or send Bitcoin to other users.

Like traditional ATMs, a BTM is a physical kiosk that enables users to interact with the machine and perform transactions.

However, unlike traditional ATMs that deal in fiat currencies, BTMs facilitate the exchange of Bitcoin for cash or debit, and vice versa.

The primary function of a BTM is to provide a convenient and secure platform for individuals to buy and sell Bitcoin without the need for complex online exchanges or intermediaries.
