Cleaning Up Crypto ATMs Isn’t Anti-Crypto

The post Cleaning Up Crypto ATMs Isn’t Anti-Crypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. When Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird filed lawsuits against CoinFlip and Bitcoin Depot earlier this year, a few astroturfed voices cried that this consumer protection push was “anti-crypto.” They’re wrong.
