Wow, I've never seen a bitcoin ATM but I'm shocked at the creepy amount of data collection you have to undergo to use it.

Phone number? Okay I guess... A picture? Well, I don't like it but I guess most people won't have a problem with it. A drivers license? Ehhh... this is giving me the creeps. A hand scan? This is just getting ridiculous.

Thanks for that video, I am now no longer excited about bitcoin ATMs and know I will never use one.
