A cryptocurrency start up; CryptoBuyer decided to take the crypto space by storm as she installed the first Bitcoin ATM in a commercial bank. The BTM’s were installed by Cryptobuyer in the premises of Banistmo Bank’s headquarters, in Panama. The installation of BTMs followed the recently concluded Panamanian Association of Fintech event. Cryptobuyer was a participant of the event, which saw participation from the members of banking and finance community, as well as the general public.

Company CEO Jorge Luis Farias was a part of one of many panels of industry experts that discussed the magnitude and application of blockchain technology at the event. The event saw over 300 people from various segments of the industry. Cryptobuyer’s participation at the event coincided with a recent Bloomberg report, which covered the company and its use of blockchain technology to solve real world issues for the citizens of developing nations such as Venezuela.

Farias was assisted by Tigo CTM CEO Cindy Zimmerman and the founder of Guldcoin Ira Miller, both technology partners of Cryptobuyer while showcasing the two BTMs installed within the bank premises.

Crypto buyer has plans to install at least 20 BTM’s across Panama and rest of South America as the first phase of its effort to create a cryptocurrency ATM network in the region.

Daniel Diaz, Global Business Developer at DASH, also took part in the panel and spoke about the advantages of DASH as one of the most promising cryptocurrencies. In agreement with this opinion, Cryptobuyer announced at the event that the BTM’s would also support DASH.

BTC.com’s Alejandro de la Torre flew from Amsterdam to demonstrate the use of Bitcoin wallet and give away over 100 BTC.com wallet gift codes. Tjon conducted a talk on distributed ledger technology for global organizations while Palomar discussed blockchain technology is general with the interested participants.

After the panel’s presentations, Cryptobuyer announced its entry into the Ciudad del Saber (City of Knowledge) technology and innovation campus to set up base alongside 180 world-class companies and organizations including the likes of the United Nations, Copa Airlines, IESA, and Hewlett-Packard.

While setting up its headquarters in the technology hub, Cryptobuyer has announced plans to develop Blockchain Academy Latam to impart cryptocurrency related education, training, and certifications to individuals, companies, and organizations globally and in Latin-America.

In Panama things work a bit differently. That's why many use it for off-shore accounting. Still great news for Bitcoin!

Different in what sense please?

In sense of taxes and regulations. And therefor business models and business ethics.
