In the PC Praha shop on Rostovská Street in Prague 10 there is a bitcoin ATM where you can both buy and sell bitcoin for cash: to buy, you enter your wallet address (via QR code), insert banknotes and the bitcoin is sent; to sell, you send bitcoin to the address shown by the machine and withdraw cash once the transaction is confirmed. The whole process takes a few minutes and you don't need an exchange account. Clients of our hosting can also collect their earnings from their account in cash at our shop.

Summary

  • A bitcoin ATM is a machine for buying and selling bitcoin for cash without registering on an exchange.
  • All you need is cash or your own bitcoin wallet.
  • We can buy, sell or exchange cryptocurrencies other than bitcoin directly in the shop (P2P exchange) – just get in touch in advance. We are preparing to extend the bitcoin ATM with roughly 250 more cryptocurrencies.
  • PC Praha hosting clients request a cash withdrawal in the PCPRAHA app or in their hosting account and collect the money at our shop.
  • Always send bitcoin only to your own wallet – never to an address someone else has dictated to you.

What is a bitcoin ATM

A bitcoin ATM is a machine that allows fast buying and selling of bitcoin for cash. You don't have to open an exchange account or wait for a transfer to be approved. All you need is cash or a crypto wallet, and the transaction takes just a few minutes.

Advantages over an exchange:

  • Speed – the bitcoin is sent as soon as you insert the cash, no waiting for a bank transfer.
  • Simplicity – just a few steps on the screen.
  • No exchange account – you don't need to register with a crypto exchange. For larger amounts, the machine may require identity verification under anti-money-laundering rules.

You can see the machine's exchange rate and fee on the display before you confirm the transaction.
