I love localcoin because they are easy to use and easy to teach someone new how to use them. On several occasions when I have gone to a machine there has been someone there trying to use the machine for the first time. I was able to take them through the process easily so that they too could enjoy using them

This is my first time buying from Localcoin. I didn't have a Crypto wallet. I sent through ID and selfie checks. But took me a while to set up a wallet.
Would have been much quicker if I had a wallet first.

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.
What is a Bitcoin ATM?
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:

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.)

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.
