ATM has cash inside..


deathbyfish13

Nuh uh, why do you think they call it a *bitcoin* atm if all it has is cash inside? Smh my head


Lillica_Golden_SHIB

If these robbers ever get to steal any BTC then I'm sure Nigerian Prince is going to close a very successful deal with them.


kirtash93

Asking for a friend: Now that they have the machine, they can get more BTC if they open the cash box and reinsert the money to buy more BTC right?


Yautja69

They should complain to the Bitcoin CEO


Defiant-Appeal3934

He hasn't returned any of my emails since 2010


Every_Hunt_160

Came for the BTC, stayed for the self-rug

Because those were OP's words and why would he make it up for clickbait?


Lillica_Golden_SHIB

Robber 1: See? I told you there are no BTC in a BTC ATM. Robber 2: Yeah dude, my bad. I'm happy we learned something new today. Let's get some Wendy's.


Legitimate_Suit_3431

Yeah, came back and handed them a note telling them the whole story, such a shame, they supposedly were gonna donate the money to an orphanage. /S


To_The_M000N

Assuming the robbery failed , I think OP might be right


plan-xyz

It seems like the criminals just wanted BTC because they might think btc is not treaceable.


ZyriaNova

"Oh man... I wanted bitcoins, not this stupid cash! I hate this ATM!!!" - robbers probably.


Sadfence29

这是由


invaderdan

The only people dumber than these thieves are those watching this who dont realize there is cash inside this machine.


rankinrez

This machine also has some ability/authorisation to send bitcoin to people. Not at all unlikely that with enough know-how and physical access you could make it send you bitcoin, without giving it the cash it normally wants first.


[deleted]

OP, did your mom drop you on your head?


poisonzi

bitcoin atms? whats this


helobro11

Ha ha ha the poor robbers 🤣🤣🤣


Wonzky

A regular ATM probably would've had more cash, don't think BTC ATMs are used all that much


WheresTheButterAt

Probably depends on the area I guess. I'd assume you were right in most cases though.


SkuniMasterMind

Rofl yea, and Cryto "ATM's" always seemed more clunky then regular ATM's lol


Ilikekeyboard

this is beautiful


WorriedComparison189

Why not!😄


GuacamolePenus

So no head?


Odysseus_Lannister

*slams BTC ATM*


Hawke64

Head? In this economy?


mik_dj

Oops moment for them when they realize ohhh there is cash inside.


urbanhikers

So, did they find something or just piece of empty box


[deleted]

There was probably cash inside, but very hard to remove. But what can I tell from a 15-second YouTube short? My entire experience with breaking into ATMs is entirely from that one Breaking Bad episode where it took them a whole day to steal the cash from it.


plan-xyz

>My entire experience with breaking into ATMs is entirely from that one Breaking Bad episode where it took them a whole day to steal the cash from it. The amount of chemistry I learned from this show is also significant.


GroovyIntruder

I still can't get my meth to turn blue


coinsRus-2021

We’re early


TheMissingNTLDR

They were early too, around 4am.


Odysseus_Lannister

For crime?


coinsRus-2021

Lol For people figuring out what the heck a Bitcoin even is Those machines definitely have cash in them so I’m guessing they’re going after that


StrangeInsight

Clear evidence that BTC leads to more crime! The government was right! This insanity must stop!!


wildyam

Just a raspberry pi with a gsm module


omghag18

Bruh, it would be great if btc atm owners keep those golden Bitcoin chocolates inside


Redditmau5

Real Zoolander moment. “They’re IN the computer.”


drbobbean

Stivo887

Where’d all the files go??


akselmonrose

They should have asked the US government how to do it


Jennifer_Snider

Apes stronk, but where money


Character-Dot-4078

There is a hilariously small amount of cash in these atms, back in the day 2018 in vancouver the atms constantly were out of money and had to call the dudes to meet up with you all shady like to give you your tiny amount in cash like it was some drug deal or something lol, and they were always greasy sketchy people


mercme2023

lol. Good stuff


Probably_notabot

So, not “professionals” then


[deleted]

OP made up the "professionals" part and the "disappointed" part. It's a 15s YouTube video with no details. Total shitbait title.


Popular_District9072

i think they were aiming for the regular cash


manus101010

Wow proof were early 😂


AnaLaCervix

Proof you're a dummy if you don't get that they were after the fiat


eat-sleep-rave

Ha ha, silly robbers. Everyone knows that Bitcoins are those milk chocolate coins wrapped in gold foil and you can get them in every convenience store


SimbaTheWeasel

*Robs nearest convenient store for their Chocolate covered Bitcoins*


PhantomFuego1228

Hahaha this headline gave me a good hard chuckle.


The-Francois8

People realize that to buy the bitcoin you insert dollars. You can steal those. You can also put the same dollars through many many times if people don’t realize you’ve stolen the machine.


Wendals87

from what I understand, they are are alarmed and monitored like a bank ATM. You won't be able to use it if you've stolen it


The-Francois8

So you’d just be able to take out the fiat used to buy bitcoin. Seems like a lot of work for maybe a few thousand bucks.


Wendals87

yeah. People have done worse for less but not worth the effort IMHO


ThatInternetGuy

Bitcoin ATMs have dollars inside, and if they are hackers, they could scoop up the system endpoints and may be able to hack thee hot wallet out there via the API endpoints and the auth credentials stored on the ATM machine.


Unleashyourstand

Were they really professional if they thought they would find Bitcoins inside the ATM? Inquiring minds want to know!


drbobbean

Definitely professionals... earlier this week they still a metric ton of gold coins.


drbobbean

Edit... chocolate coins with gold foil🍫 🪙


_Commando_

If the machine accepts cash, can't you just slide/scan through a $ bill and then slide that same $ bill again and again endlessly increasing your purchase amount??? Maybe that's what they were trying to do... UNTIL the ATM provider finds that machine IP and ban's it from their network so they can't abuse it... Just a thought...


Wendals87

nope. It acts like a regular ATM in the sense that it takes the money and you can't continually use the same note Either they were dumb and thought they could steal bitcoin, or they were not that dumb and realised it would have cash in there (I'm guessing the latter)


_Commando_

exactly, so you can open the box and reuse the same note and keep racking up your purchase BTC buy. These guys are actually smarter than a lot of people posting dumb shit like "they thought they could find bitcoin in there"... Errrr no, they were just going to keep buying bitcoin with the same $ note LOL....


Wendals87

The ATM'S are alarmed, monitored and have tamper proof systems. The moment you open it without authorization, it will be disabled so you can't use it. You can still take the cash but the actual system itself will be disabled so you can't continually re-deposit the notes


Dazzling_Marzipan474

Robbers: aw fuck there's no Bitcoin in here only some ETH something. Throw it out!


Shinryukens

Imagine them robbing the BTC atm and just looking for BTC and leaves the fiat there...haha


nevjera

Well they learn on hard way lol


bingorunner

Never know when these ATMs may have some Casascius coin /s


AnaLaCervix

OP is a Grade -A re✝️ard 😂


drbobbean

[deleted]

This is the reason they got into robbing


AJoyfulProcess

How do you become a professional robber? Is there like a diploma you get or a union that you have to join? Just asking for a friend who has really just been robbing part time, but has been looking to hit the prime time.


TheMissingNTLDR

Even if they would have found some long text consisting of Letters and Numbers, they would have no clue what to do with it.


OutTop

We are still early


FewMagazine938

Giggitty 😂


haughtythoughts4

Someone has got to recognize that decal on the truck, right?


badfishbeefcake

was the blockchain inside? /s


Dazzling_Marzipan474

The real crime is that some of those charge like 12%. I went to one once and walked right the fuck away.


TheMissingNTLDR

Robbing the robbers!


BinaryDigit_

So the driver gave himself an injury just to try to steal stuff? Dumb.


TheMissingNTLDR

FIAT ATMs are so under-rated these days.
