Bitcoin ATM withdrawal in Saigon!

Hi Steemians!

I noticed the BTM at Italiani’s Homemade Pizza at Lý Tự Trọng Street last year during a dinner.
Last week I decided to try it out and give my steemit friends a quick review

Since I do this exclusive for my fellow Steemians, I am only going to withdraw a smaller amount of satoshis – the rest is safely hidden away with a sell order for 1 mio usd 😃 🚀

The BTM is simple and easy to use and its showing clear instructions on how to use it.

After getting the verification code, I entered the amount of Vietnamese đồng I wanted to withdraw.

Unfortunately the BTM was low on cash, so I couldn’t exchange the whole amount at once.

I then choose the 500.000 VND that was available and scanned the BTMs QR code with my Breadwallet app and quickly got my first receipt at 6.26PM informing me that the BTM was waiting for confirmation.
According to the BTM, it usually takes 10 minutes to confirm the transaction on the blockchain. Approx 15 mins later I received a new SMS asking me to come back to the BTM to collect my cash. My money was ready!

I went through the verification progress again and received my money at 6.49PM. Easy peasy!

I created a Breadwallet for the occasion but since I wasn’t able to withdraw all the satoshis in the wallet at the time at this BTM, I decided to go to another BTM close by at Bùi Viện Street.

But apparently I didn’t do my research very well, as it was a Buy Bitcoin only machine..

I therefore returned to the BTM at Lý Tự Trọng Street a few days later and I went through the same procedure as my first time there, with SMS verification and redeem codes and so on.
The second time around the whole process took ~ 40 minutes.

All in all pretty straight forward to cash out on bitcoins, although a bit time consuming...
Go Lightning Network!

Hope you enjoyed!
