The growth of Bitcoin ATM's keeps increasing... currently at an average of 8 new ATMs installed DAILY.

I always keep an eye on this because I consider ATM's are one of the key factors/signals of Bitcoin real adoption and usage (as a storage of value, at least).

Some areas like Las Vegas with 65 ATM's over a relatively small area are reaching some pretty good density already.

Unfortunately the fees, most being around 9/10%, are a complete rip off, but there is a selected few with more "reasonable" fees like the one at the D (which I think was the fiist ATM in las vegas) at 6.9% for selling or the one at the "Heart Attack Grill" with an even better sell fee of "just" 3.5%.

Btw, anyone have a graph of how regular bank ATM's historically grew? Would be a nice comparison...

10% beats the 20% currency exchange rate in French Polynesia.

I want to buy a car but I refuse to lose 20% of value plus wire fees to do it. I rely on small trades here and there for spending money but I'm still trying to work out a way to get about $2-6k into CFP.

I will likely just buy a scooter when I get back. I considered trading baht to CFP here in Thailand but no exchange deals with such an obscure currency.
Did you check Abra, they support 50 fiats and 20 cryptos  plus adding new one.
