Why a site about one city
Because almost everything written about buying crypto is written for nobody in particular, and the things that matter most are local. Arizona's flat 2.5% income tax and its 25% long-term deduction are local. The $2,000 daily kiosk cap for new customers is local. The refund right that returned $171,332 to 35 Arizonans is local. The fact that Maryvale is saturated with machines while Arcadia has almost none is local.
None of that appears in a national guide, and all of it changes what somebody in Phoenix should actually do. So we picked one metropolitan area and went deep instead of wide.
How we work
We read the statute rather than the coverage of the statute. We use operator location finders rather than aggregators when the question is whether a specific machine exists. We check licensing claims against government registers rather than repeating what a marketing page asserts. And when the sources genuinely disagree — as public kiosk trackers do about how many machines are in Phoenix — we publish both figures and explain the discrepancy rather than picking whichever looks tidier.
The site is reviewed as a whole periodically, and page-level dates reflect the last substantive edit. Fees, machine counts and licence details change constantly, which is why every page tells you to verify current terms with the provider before you transact. That is not boilerplate — it is the honest limit of what any published guide can promise.
