I doubt that it is safe to assume that if a Bitcoin ATM only offers buying BTC, and does not offer both buying and selling, then there is some kind of a malicious plot - because there could be a variety of reasons that a machine might ONLY offer buying BTC that might include regulations or it might include logistics.

Sure, it would be better for society overall if all Bitcoin ATMs were to offer both buying and selling - but we do not live in an ideal world, and sometimes things happen for a variety of reasons that don't always make sense on the surface.

Don't bother about the overpriced BTC if this is the only way to accumulate then why deny yourself? but since your name stands for it then maybe you have a lot of way to purchase and sell Bitcoin.

Update that I have use the bitcoin ATM machine again yesterday and good news? My officemate also have His first atm use of bitcoin together witn me yesterday .

Does that mean that the tangible Bitcoin as a Coin will also be counted on its circulation? Because ATM would work like cash is it? Maybe instead of ATMs like banks do have, crypto exchanges could just put up a machine where users can do transactions with hard wallets. People then are able to buy, sell, and transfer funds and coins more conveniently. I believe Binance already does have cards where it is easier to transact because of the QR code and chip attached to it.

Bitcoin ATM has too high fees, i will never use it. p2p is much better way

For now I have never owned or used a bitcoin ATM because there is no bitcoin ATM machine in my location. However, if it is an area where bitcoin ATMs are available, and you are interested in using a Bitcoin ATM, it is advisable to do more research about Bitcoin ATM operators in your area, look at the fees involved, and consider the necessary safety factors before making a decision.

It is highly logical and indeed accurate. By bypassing the involvement of banks to withdraw money from a BATM (Bitcoin ATM), Bitcoin users can greatly benefit, especially when vacationing in countries where BATMs are available. This provides a solution for countries that prohibit Bitcoin transactions, as BATMs allow Bitcoin owners to instantly exchange their Bitcoin for local currency and promptly engage in transactions with local sellers.

In my country, Bitcoin is not permitted to replace the presence of FIAT (for in-store transactions), but buying and selling Bitcoin is allowed. I believe this situation calls for the presence of Bitcoin ATMs.

That's right, even though I've never used it, there are many news that transactions are quite expensive.  This becomes one of the weaknesses that may hinder. Even though there is currently LN but it has not been able to overcome the network density that occurs. Maybe more people use Pay Pal as a transaction tool because it has been recognized in the world. But I am quite amazed by the rapid development of the number of ATMs, especially in the United States.

I don't know if it's same like the normal ATM machine because there's no bitcoin ATM in my country yet, but I'll love to use one in the near future and I hope it becomes widely adopted in my country so it would prompt installation of the bitcoin machines, I live in an urban area so I think it wouldn't be difficult to locate when its finally adopted in my country because there's a current ban on Cryptocurrency that's made average people see bitcoin as an agenda for scam but hopefully the newly elected government would uplift the ban making more people to adopt the use of bitcoin in other words creating an opportunity for the installation of bitcoin ATMs in malls, banks and several locations.
 However, OP I'm trying to figure out if in your next statement you're talkinv about tendering bitcoin as a means of gift for birthdays or ceremony, yes of course a gift can be any valuable item including bitcoin however not everyone would be very familiar or know how to operate the bitcoin ATM and there are other challenges like distance also so it would be faster and easier to use exchanges to send bitcoin as gifts to friends and family l

Finally , a group mate just advised there is a New installed Bitcoin ATM in the next street and yes I will check it tomorrow and hope that this is functional already as I missed using a machine for couple of years now.

This is dream of every bitcoiner he used this ATM but sadly many judiciaries and areas are not allowed to have this as I personally love to use this bitcoin ATM because now after falling in love with bitcoin things looking much better and most chances bans and restrictions are not going to have any impact on this in near future.

In our country now central government announced about own digital currency which is surely going to be had good chance for the peoples in this country hopefully they will also bring better policies for the bitcoin and its more use around the country because now we are in top ten countries those are having adoption and things are looking positive for this all.
