But the bank does not see that the transaction was a btc trade. It's a bank transfer from one private person to another not marked with anything btc realted. And you can change the bank if you do a lot of trades and the bank makes problems. With high trades you will get problems at least in spain as the banks deliver all the data to the tax authority, so they will ask you for the sources of the money if it exceeds a certian level… But that is another problem and you have the same when you use normal exchanges and transmit 10 000 EUR wihtout declaring from where this money comes (at least in spain).

Think of the situation in China. The government forbid banks to operate with exchanges, so the excahnges cannot operate anymore. The government could not forbit banks to operate with 1000s of private clients, the banks does not even know that the tx have been btc related.

That Berlin ATM project could be interesting, but dont know much about it….

Hm… I think if you don't build it in the way that the transaction is only between 2 private person then regulatory issues come in.
A ATM would get money from one BTC buyer and spend money to another BTC seller. So it plays the role of a Bank, and then you get troubles with regulation…
