The big American retail giant Walmart and Coinstar have partnered up to deploy some 200 Bitcoin ATM machines in Walmart stores across the US. As a result of this coalition, Walmart’s customers would be able to buy BTC from various Walmart stores.
To use the ATM they would need to insert bills and then receive a voucher that can only be redeemed after they have signed up with Coinme and passed a background check.
A statement by Sam Doctor, the Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Research at BitOoda to Bloomberg, confirmed the presence of those 200 Coinstar booths. According to his comments Walmart joins the BTC ATM trend after other stores have already done the same and that will “further legitimacy among skeptics”.
This piece of news, by the way, comes after the fake news that Walmart would start accepting Litecoin as a payment method.

I do think this is great news for Bitcoin, that such a massive and established retail giant has entered such a partnership.

Very cool! great news! The world of the crypt does not stand still and is developing at a fairly fast pace! I think that in 5-10 years we will be able to pay with some types of cryptocurrencies even in retail stores!
