At Bond Street underground station recently, what the Americans call an Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) or a cash point machine in the UK, someone tried to convert their Bitcoin into pound notes and it began issuing so much cash the withdrawer could not cope…

As you can see, a security guard tried to keep shoppers and commuters at bay, who looked on in amazement, as used bank notes littered the floor.

The ATM turned into what looked like a Las Vegas one-arm bandit machine that had hit the jackpot, and bank notes were soon flying out of the machine all over the floor… If nothing else I am sure it cheered up the commuters and certainly distracted the shoppers on Oxford Street!
