Updated August 22, A new ATM has opened in Canberra that accepts and exchanges the three major cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Dogecoin and Litecoin. The alternative online currencies are gaining traction nationally, with observers estimating there are close to 50, users in Australia.
The ATM is the first of its kind in Australia to trade all three digital currencies, but others have appeared in capital cities specifically for bitcoin users. Alex Hume from the group behind setting up the new ATM, Bit2Bit, said more users and businesses were becoming interested in the online currencies. Chris Guzowski from the Australian Digital Currency Commerce Association said there are close to 1, Australian businesses that now accept the alternative currencies.

Generally it's as instantaneous as an email and as cheap as an email It's quite similar to using a credit card, it's not quite as quick as cash in that there's a small process involved. Despite this, Mr Guzowksi estimates there were about 50, people using bitcoin in Australia and that that number would grow.

But Mr Clarke said recent variability in the exchange rate of the currency was worrying for users. First posted August 21, More stories from Australian Capital Territory.
