How Does a Bitcoin ATM Work?

It works almost like the ATMs you use today.

There are a few differences:

Instead of inserting your debit card and getting cash, you insert cash and get bitcoins sent to your Bitcoin wallet (if you are buying bitcoins).

Some Bitcoin ATMs also let you sell bitcoins, so you would send bitcoins to the machine and the Bitcoin ATMs would spit out cash.
