Sorry Janko, this is pure no-sense.

Should we tag flat areas as "natural=peak" "ele=0" and then tell the renderer not to render it as a mountain?
Should we tag deserts as "water=lake" and "type=dry" to tell the renderer to render it yellow instead of blue?

Go out and ask hundred people on the street what a ATM is - and everybody will answer you the same thing. Nobody will tell you "an ATM is an machine which does NOT give you money"! We use human-readable words as tags, so we have to stick to their meanings.

I completly understand that everybody tries to get his interests represented in OSM - I agree that I'm doing the same sometimes. But please do not do it in a way that interferes with what others are doing for a long time. So, you want advertise Bitcoin on OSM (what I really think is not the place for this - but o.k. ...) so please do it in a way not to destroy what a lot of people built up and works fine! Leave the ATM tag in peace!

nounours.
