For get chip and PIN dispensing cash, a new ATM arrived this week that doles out Bitcoin vouchers for a song.

Trading platform eToro's singing-activated ATM was unveiled to mark Bitcoin's 10th birthday - dispensing vouchers worth between £20 and £250 in Bitcoin to people singing all of the words of ‘happy birthday to you’.

After it's debut in London, the karaoke cash machine will be touring football clubs across the UK letting fans serenade it with club chants to gain Bitcoin rewards.

The musically activated ATM uses audio and voice technology to detect when a specific melody is sung to it as well as the volume of the singing.

The display lets users know how loudly they are singing, if they need to increase the volume and how much of the song they need to finish to activate the dispenser.

Iqbal Gandham, eToro UK managing director, said: “Currently, the level of understanding of crypto is one of the barriers to wide-scale user adoption of, and investment in, cryptoassets.

"It’s a barrier that we’ve looked to address at eToro as part of our vision of opening up global markets to everyone. Our ATM machine is a fitting and fun celebration of bitcoin’s 10-year anniversary and the currency, and one that we hope will give even more people the opportunity to learn about crypto.”
