Bitcoin newbie, close to my first BTC purchase.
After quite some research, I managed to find some ATMs that have a commission of “only” 8% and, the cherry on top, there's no identification necessary for amounts up to a maximum of 250 EUR. I intend to buy some Satoshi every month for 50 EUR so it's not a problem by far.
They also offer the option for me to buy through the Lightning network with a more down-to-earth commission of 2%. While my scope is to buy and simply hold, I won't refuse to make a small purchase from a more or less random shop if the opportunity arises, for practical experience.
I want to give myself a year to get acquainted properly with this world before deciding if I should raise the amount but, before my first purchase, I want to know if there's anything to take into account as a newbie or if I’m good to go. Just in case, the company that owns the ATMs is called KURANT Bitcoin ATM and Service. It operates in Austria, Germany and Spain so maybe someone knows anything about it.
If someone sees this message and replies, many thanks in advance!
/ Constantin
