I'm curious about something related to Bitcoin ATMs. Could you please clarify for me if using a Bitcoin ATM requires verification of personal identification? I've heard differing opinions on this matter and I'm trying to get a clear understanding. Some say that since Bitcoin is decentralized and anonymous, no ID should be needed. Others mention that due to regulatory compliance, certain Bitcoin ATMs might require identification. I'm hoping you can shed some light on this matter for me. Could you please explain the general rule or guidelines regarding the need for ID when using a Bitcoin ATM?
