Why drive from Palo Alto instead of using a local Bitcoin ATM?

Bitcoin ATMs commonly charge 8-20% or more above the market rate, often plus a flat fee. At our staffed counter the rate is quoted and locked before you pay, so on anything beyond a small purchase the drive from Palo Alto typically pays for itself many times over.

What do I need to bring?

A valid government-issued photo ID, and cash if you are buying. No wallet yet? The team sets one up with you at the counter, free, and hardware wallets are in stock.

Why skip the Palo Alto Bitcoin ATMs

Bitcoin ATM operators commonly price 8% to 20% or more above the market rate, and many add a flat fee on top. On a $1,000 purchase that can be $150 gone before the coins reach your wallet. At a staffed counter the rate is quoted, locked, and printed on a receipt from a FinCEN-registered business — the price you approve is the price you pay. See the full comparison on our Bitcoin ATM alternative page.
