😂 Poland’s Crypto ATM Coup D’etat: El Salvador Left in the Dust 🚀

by

In a whimsical twist of fate, Poland, the land of potatoes and pierogies, has outwitted the once-mighty El Salvador in the great game of Bitcoin ATMs. With a sly grin and a flick of the wrist, Poland added 10 new cryptocurrency kiosks on January 27th, elevating its collection to a grand total of 219. It’s a tale of David and Goliath, but with digital coins and Eastern European flair. 🎩✨

Since October 2024, Poland has been on a crypto ATM frenzy, installing a whopping 24 new machines in just four months. Meanwhile, the likes of Canada, Spain, and Australia continue to beef up their own networks, according to the all-seeing Bitcoin ATM Radar. 🌍🔍

But what of El Salvador, the once-proud pioneer of Bitcoin adoption? It seems the nation’s crypto dreams have hit a snag. Despite a headstart that would make a tortoise blush, El Salvador’s ATM count has stagnated.CryptoMoon, ever the inquisitive snoop, reached out to the Salvadoran authorities for a peek behind the crypto curtain. 🕵️‍♂️🚪

Poland, on the other hand, shows no signs of slowing down. January alone saw the addition of 12 new ATMs, with more expected before the month’s end. It’s a crypto gold rush, and Poland is digging with both hands. 🏋️‍♂️💰

Behold, the current hierarchy of Bitcoin ATM dominance:

  1. United States – 30,780 ATMs (80.8%) – The king sits comfortably on his throne.

  2. Canada – 3,062 ATMs (8%) – The loyal vassal, always close behind.

  3. Australia – 1,389 ATMs (3.6%) – The ambitious upstart, climbing the ranks.

  4. Spain – 276 ATMs (0.7%) – The quiet achiever, steady as she goes.

  5. Poland – 219 ATMs (0.6%) – The surprise underdog, turning heads.

  6. El Salvador – 215 ATMs (0.6%) – The fallen hero, watching from the sidelines.

  7. Hong Kong – 196 ATMs (0.5%) – The mysterious stranger, biding their time.

  8. New Zealand – 191 ATMs (0.5%) – The plucky adventurer, always ready for a challenge.
