The *bitcoin* device is a *currency exchange terminal.*
It's not an ATM at 99% of the world understands that term.  An ATM is a
device for interacting with a pre-established deposit account, perhaps
though an interbank network. These are different functions.

It's possible a device could both be an ATM as commonly understood, and a
bitcoin currency exchange device.
The tagging should keep these concepts separate, but allow them to be
combined on a single node if appropriate.
