Well, the money part is only 1 app of the Bitcoin/Blockchain revolution that’s happening right now. Unfortunately, it’s a curiosity right now, more than a real need, i.e. if you stick $20 in that machine to get back a QR code of funny money, it’s because you’re curious and want to experience this new thing.

Being in the trenches on this, I can say with great confidence that it’s not a head fake, but it’s early days. And I would add that the biggest promise lies with the blockchain technology, which is the backbone upon which Bitcoin is based. The blockchain will enable a number of services that you will use, without even knowing you are.

These kiosks remind me of the old Internet kiosks back in the day, circa 1995-1996. Remember when they popped-up in hotel and office lobbies, and what they allowed you to do was to “browse the internet”….Well big whoop. Then the Internet became about commerce, business, networks, etc..
