Americans lost an estimated $333 million to Bitcoin ATM scams in 2025 — and older users were hit the hardest. 🧓💸
🟠 What’s happening?
• Scammers exploit confusion around crypto & ATMs
• Victims are pressured to send $BTC via kiosks
• Funds become nearly impossible to recover
🏛️ Regulatory response incoming
U.S. lawmakers are now pushing for tighter rules on Bitcoin ATMs — including stricter ID checks, transaction limits, and clearer warnings. ⚖️
⚠️ Bigger picture
This isn’t a Bitcoin flaw — it’s a fraud + education gap problem. As adoption grows, user protection must scale too.
🥶 The lesson: Technology moves fast. Scammers move faster. Regulation moves last.
