Bitcoin ATM

Step into the fascinating world where finance, technology, and political science converge. In Bitcoin ATM, Fouad Sabry demystifies one of the most disruptive innovations in modern finance—the Bitcoin Automated Teller Machine—and its broader implications for global political and economic systems. In an era where traditional institutions grapple with the rapid emergence of decentralized technologies, the Bitcoin ATM is more than a financial convenience—it's a symbol of a shifting power dynamic. This book takes readers beyond the surface of cryptocurrency transactions and into the complex web of regulatory policy, financial freedom, digital sovereignty, and the global response to a decentralized future. Through the lens of political science, Sabry reveals how technological advancements like Bitcoin ATMs challenge the traditional frameworks of control, law enforcement, and national economic strategy
