Comparing ATMs and blockchains is comparing oranges and apples.

An ATM is a physical place that gives you physical money. A blockchain is a digital thing that gives you digital money.

If you want to compare cryptos with something, you'll have to compare to digital payment services. We have already plenty of them, and usually are nearly instantaneous. And vastly more efficient than any blockchain will ever be.

Blockchain is a solution in search of a problem. And each time a problem has appeared to be solved by it, it has ended backfiring.
