Robocoin's bitcoin ATMs are hitting the United States later this month, Reuters reported Tuesday.

据路透社2月18日报道，Robocoin公司的比特币ATM机将在本月下旬登陆美国。

 

Robocoin is installing these automated teller machines in Seattle and Austin, Texas. The kiosks will let users buy and sell the digital currency, while using scanners to read government-issued identification, like a driver's license or a passport. People will be able to sell bitcoin for cash, buy more bitcoin, or transfer funds through a digital wallet.

Robocoin公司将在西雅图和得克萨斯州奥斯汀安装这批比特币ATM机。这批比特币ATM机将允许用户购买和出售数字货币，同时还能使用扫描仪来读取政府签发的身份证明，比如驾照或护照。人们将可以把比特币兑换成现金，购买更多的比特币，或通过数字钱包转账。

 

Bitcoin is a type of currency introduced in 2009, but it's only recently gained mainstream attention. As its use grows, more companies have found ways to build onthe popularity of the digital system, but it's also drawn the scrutiny of regulators.

比特币是一种在2009年推出的虚拟货币，但直到最近才得到主流媒体的关注。由于比特币用户的增多，越来越多的公司已经找到方法来普及数字系统，但这也受到了监管部门的审查。

 

These new ATMs are not Robocoin's only machines. The Las Vegas company installed its first ATM in Vancouverlast fall. The company also has plans to roll out ATMs in other US cities, and in Asia and Europe.

这批新的比特币ATM机不是Robocoin公司仅有的机器。去年秋天，这个总部位于拉斯维加斯的公司在温哥华安装了首台比特币ATM机。该公司还计划将比特币ATM机推广到美国其他城市，以及亚洲和欧洲。
