Liberty Teller Launches Second Bitcoin Kiosk in Boston
After launching the first bitcoin kiosk in the United States at Boston’s South Station last month, Liberty Teller is adding a second kiosk installation. The machine will be placed in Harvard Square in partnership with Clover Food Labs.
Liberty Teller is expanding its operations due to the overwhelmingly positive feedback and strong interest from the public.
Co-Founder Chris Yim explains,
“In less than 3 weeks, over 500 customers have used our Liberty Teller bitcoin kiosk. Building off of the amazing community reception and volume we have seen from Boston’s South Station, we are expanding across the river to Cambridge. We have received many requests from the Harvard Square community and are pleased to announce the placement of our second machine with partner and food entrepreneur Ayr Muir of Clover Food Labs.”
Ayr Muir, CEO and Founder of Clover Food Labs details the partnership,
"I was approached by Chris, a fellow MIT grad who loves Clover. He asked if we would help him out with a little experiment to see if a high-traffic fast food restaurant like ours would be a good site for one of the first bitcoin ATMs in the country. We're giving it a go and we're excited to see what happens."
“People want bitcoin fast, simple, and safe,” says Liberty Teller Co-Founder Kyle Powers.
“That’s what we provide. We're also having fun each day growing the bitcoin network, which we believe will ultimately provide consumers with lower costs, faster transactions, new applications, and greater access to financial services.”
The second Liberty Teller kiosk will be located on the second floor of Clover Food Labs at 7 Holyoke Street, Cambridge, MA 02138.

Boston-based ATM network provider Liberty Teller has been one of the more high-profile local ATM operators due to its ability to place machines in notable locations such as South Station and Harvard Square, two of the metropolitan area's biggest commuter hubs.

As quiet as the first launch in South Station came, the folks over at LibertyTeller have launched their second machine in Harvard Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Also a unit from Lamassu, the device serves as a bitcoin vending machine, allowing users to insert U. S. dollars in exchange for bitcoin in approximately thirty seconds. The move isn't surprising. When I spoke to Kyle Powers and Chris Yim in Boston several weeks ago, they told me they had plans to expand, but at the time were uncertain of locations. Specifically, the unit is located at....
