As Bitcoin becomes more and more accepted around the world, industries related to the Bitcoin industry are also developing accordingly. Bitcoin ATMs are one of the initiatives that benefit the public.

There are currently more than 1,000 Bitcoin ATMs in the world, most of which are deployed in the United States; they are still relatively rare in Europe and England.

The Bitcoin ATM in Brighton is the third city in the UK to install a Bitcoin ATM, following the deployment of Bitcoin ATMs in London and Scotland. Bitcoin ATM provider Alphavend expressed optimism about entering the south coast of the UK.

“Brighton has a reputation for innovation and embracing the new. The social message behind Bitcoin, its permissionless and stateless nature is sure to resonate with the city’s free-thinking and egalitarian residents,” commented a spokesperson for Alphavend.

The Bitcoin ATM is located at an SV News convenience store at 54-55 Kings Road and is open from 7am to 3am Sunday to Thursday, and 24 hours on Friday and Saturday.

Alphavend also said that in addition to Bitcoin, it will also add support for Litecoin, the fourth largest cryptocurrency by market value, and will add more digital currencies in the near future.
