Could you please elaborate on the concept of a Bitcoin ATM? In layman's terms, how does it differ from a traditional ATM? What are the primary functionalities of a Bitcoin ATM? Do they allow users to deposit, withdraw, or exchange cryptocurrencies? Are there any security measures incorporated into these ATMs to protect user funds? Lastly, are Bitcoin ATMs widely available across different locations, or are they concentrated in specific areas?

However, due to the inherent anonymity of Bitcoin transactions, most Bitcoin ATMs impose strict buying limits to mitigate potential risks.

Some ATMs even require users to undergo a Know Your Customer (KYC) process to verify their identity and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
