🇻🇪 Bitcoin ATM Startups say they’re booming, thanks in part to Venezuela

Bitcoin ($BTC) ATMs are surging in Latin America due to the Venezuelan crisis. Startup Cryptobuyer is planning on deployed Venezuela's first Bitcoin ATM in Caracas in February 2019. Additionally, Athena Bitcoin claimed $3 million in net profits largely from Latin American operations alone. Athena Bitcoin launched 25 new machines and plans to launch 90 more in 2019. The ability for displaced Venezuelans to access bank funds is believed to be a key market driver going forward.
