What is Localcoin?
Localcoin is Canada’s largest cryptocurrency ATM network that enables customers to buy cryptocurrency with cash at a physical location. Customers can visit one of our 950+ physical ATMs at our retail locations, composed primarily of convenience stores and gas stations.
What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency, meaning it is not controlled by any government or central bank. Bitcoin can be used to buy goods and services online, and can also be held as an investment. Each Bitcoin is like a computer file that is stored in a 'digital wallet' app on a smartphone or computer. People can send Bitcoins to your digital wallet, and you can send Bitcoins to other people. Every single transaction is recorded in a public list called the blockchain.

A Bitcoin ATM is a machine that enables users to buy Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies using cash. It functions similarly to a traditional ATM, enabling users to deposit cash and receive Bitcoin in their wallet, or sell bitcoin and receive cash.
How do I use a Bitcoin ATM?
Step 1: Get a Bitcoin Wallet:
We recommend the following easy-to-use Bitcoin wallets downloadable from your app store: Trust Wallet, Exodus or Coinbase Wallet
You'll need to take this wallet (or a printed QR code) with you, to the machine.

All you need is your wallet’s address, QR code and cash!
Step 3: At the Machine
a. Tap the machine's touchscreen, then read the on-screen prompt.
b. Select your desired cryptocurrency. (Bitcoin, Ethereum, LTC, etc.)
c. In your wallet, find the QR code. This tells the machine where to send your Bitcoin once you've confirmed your purchase.
d. Hold it up to the machine's camera and wait for it to be scanned.
Step 4: Purchasing Your Bitcoins

b. Confirm the amount on the screen to complete your purchase.

What is a Bitcoin/Crypto Wallet and how do I get one?
A crypto wallet is a necessary part of holding and transacting crypto coins. To send or receive any kind of coin, you’ll need a secure wallet that’s just for cryptocurrency. These specialized wallets:
1. Exist to keep track of coin ownership
2. Help generate the public addresses you’ll need to make transactions.
3. Don’t hold your coins like a traditional wallet does; instead, your Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, etc. all exist on the blockchain — your crypto wallet simply gives you access to them.
You can download a crypto wallet from your app store, some easy-to-use mobile wallets include Trust Wallet and Blue Wallet.
