Coinsource Installs Oklahoma’s First Bitcoin ATM, Bringing Network To 121
The Coinsource bitcoin ATM network has installed the first bitcoin ATM in the state of Oklahoma, bringing the network to 121 machines in the U.S.
Coinsource installed the bitcoin ATM in the southwestern hub of Oklahoma City at Speed Mart 1, located on 3462 SW 29th St., where it is 24/7 accessible.
According to coinradaratm.com, which tracks bitcoin ATM placements, the Speed Mart location is the only bitcoin ATM in the state of Oklahoma.
A Strategic Location
Sheffield Clark, Coinsource CEO, said they are thrilled to provide the people of Oklahoma City with cheap and easy access to the ‘our generation’s hottest asset.’
The trend we’ve noticed over the last six months is holding true; more people are leaving behind the complexity of digital asset exchanges and opting to buy and sell bitcoin at physical, conveniently placed machines. While we plan to install many more here, and in neighboring Tulsa. The first machine is strategically located midway between the city center and the Will Rogers International Airport.
Coinsource bitcoin ATMs provide an alternative way to pay for goods and services, particularly for those that have difficulty gaining support from a bank or financial institution. Oklahoma’s $36,797 median household income is among the lowest in the U.S.
Clark added:
Coinsource will always find ways to service the underbanked and unbanked; it’s a major part of our business culture, our beliefs, and why we started the company in the first place. It gives us a deep sense of personal pride knowing we can provide a valuable service to people in the lower income bracket, and let them invest in an industry on the rise.
