I hear that it's possible to buy Bitcoins from SBB ticket machines. I am thinking of buying a few just to hold and sell when the price is right and the SBB machines seem like an easy way to do it. I don't have much faith in online exchanges. Would you recommend buying Bitcoins from SBB?

Hi there,

The Swiss federal railway SBB / CFF lets you buy Bitcoin safely, easily and conveniently at its ticket vending machines. If you are leery of shopping for Bitcoin on the web, buying it through SBB vending machines is a good alternative. Just note that - in exchange for the convenience and security - you pay a relatively high commission equal to 6% of the amount exchanged.

Best regards from Moneyguru
