 btw Boss, buying Bitcoin in Colombia (my friends and family) is still very difficult. Binance sucks because of their fees and commissions and generally as a company, Strike is the best but does not support all the cards + no bank/ach deposit available, cashapp is not available, no offers on peach, bisq or robotsats, atms overpriced, other Colombian apps are not trustworthy yet, river is not available, etc.

Is anyone you know working on this?

 I get not wanting to pay 20% more (the usual ATM markup I see), but honestly it may be worth it if they are KYC free sats and/or you have no other choice anyway. It's far better than just getting none, because a 20% markup on today's price will be chump change at some point. 
 100% agree. But some ATMs are indeed KYC to some extent, asking for national ID and sometimes taking a selfie in the machine. I'd be happy with a markup, but ideally on bisq, robosats, or peach. 

I currently use those 3 myself, but in Colombia for my fam not possible yet. we are checking @Azteco , it has some annoying commissions but it might be the best option. 
 STRIKE IS WORKING TO ADD MORE DEPOSIT OPTIONS ASAP FWIW 
 I love Strike and their team is awesome! It's great to see what they are building and their vision. ❤️
