A Bitcoin ATM was recently installed at the Google Campus in London. It is the second time when Google’s name is getting associated with the world’s leading cryptocurrency. Earlier, the search-engine company partnered with Coinbase to create a cryptocurrency index price. And now with the new ATM, Google’s interest in Bitcoin is public. The new machine is currently located in the basement cafeteria of the Google’s center. Two startups – Callisign and Wyre – are credited to put this ATM between the eyes of Google employees.
