It's burning a hole in my Wallet! How do I turn it into MONEY?
...................................................................................................................................................................................
Well I'll tell you..
Here's whacha do.
This is the way I do it.
(after much trial and error..mostly error)
Open three tabs on your computer monitor.
note the order.
..Steemit on the Left
...BlockTrades in the middle
....a Fiat Gateway Exchange on the Left
(I use CoinBase)
.
I consider the order to be important..
.it helps to avoid mistakes.
FIRST....
decide which intermediate Crypto to use..
I use LiteCoin because ..
..reasons..
go to the FG Exchange..
select an address for
(in this case)
LiteCoin
that address and the others shown for demonstration purposes
goes to ME...
be aware
Any money sent there I'm keeping!
copy it onto the notepad of your computer..
then go to the middle tab.
you want to exchange Steem BlockChain Dollars
....for LiteCoin
so
and
for
and then..
take the LiteCoin Address that you copied and paste it to
do it and you get.
this is the money part..
copy the memo then go left young man (or gal) go left again
..to Steemit.
go to your wallet
....and LOOKIE THERE!
a steem dollar (and a half) is just sitting there!
All lonely...eager, ready and willing to be EXCHANGED.
so do it..clik on the leeetle down arrow
and you get
select Transfer and you get.
Note: the drop down menu of those you follow is a new thing...If you follow BlockTrades there it is.
just select it.
If NOT..then type it in
decide HOW MUCH SBD do I want to trade?
oh the agony of decision.
all at once
or save a little bit and do it again later?
..........................................................
all seriousness aside
...you might actually consider it.
use small amounts that won't hurt you if you screw up
and PRACTICE
Until you get it right.
.....................................................................................
I'm feeling adventurous...
I'm going to trade ALL of it at once.
Now!
paste in the MEMO
so far it's been fun and games.
NOW
it's about to get real.
take a break
relax.
rest a little while.
Then when you feel up to it.
Make SURE you have the correct MEMO is the correct place
Make SURE you are exchanging SBD instead of STEEM!
(I done that one time...stupid mistake...lost my money..all gone)
Make SURE that you have the CORRECT LiteCoin address...
did it copy correctly? has it got ALL of the characters?
if it's not EXACTLY right...your money is GONE.
that's why I have the three tabs in that order
check the steemit wallet for the right memo
..then move right.
check BlockTrades...
is all of the correct information in the proper places?
then move right.
Check CoinBase...
are you SURE you got the right address?
then move left...
BlockTrade
Move left again
Steemit
check again
move right, right , right
then
Left, left , left.
Again and AGAIN
Until you are
ABSOLUTELY SURE
that you have all of the right information
in the correct places..
Now it get's
REAL
copy your active password to your computer's clipboard
get ready..
(say a prayer...invoke your inner Teddy Bear)
SUBMIT
past in your password.
now
THINK
this is the point of no return
once you clik
your money is GONE.
Gone where IS the question
Are you sending it where you think you are?
It's not to late to check some more.
this is why I suggested using a SMALL amount of SBD
ARE YOU READY?
GO!
it's gone
Now move to the right
to the BlockTrades tab
IT WORKED
(we hope)
it got to BlockTrades
(I've done another trade recently is why it shows 2)
now move RIGHT
check the fiat gateway exchange
(coin base in this case)
YES!
after that follow the procedure of the exchange that you have chosen
to convert the LiteCoin to whatever fiat you want
then do what you want to with it.
Awesome post @everittdmickey well written and easy step by step directions. It doesn't get any better than this.

Is there a reason why you dont use an exchange that would directly accept SBD like bittrex?

yup..bittrex is not a fiat gateway.
it's just a crypto exchange.

do you use litecoin because it isnt so backed up right now, does it transfer faster? I feel like I should do this...

I use it cause it's cheap and fast.
the transfer fee is.
about $.83 right now
and it only takes seconds..
the notification of 'incoming' is sometimes at coinbase almost instantly

okay, question then, how do you get a litecoin into your bank account, is there a resource you would suggest for learning this? I cant find any on google, not eaisly at least
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

depends on what fiat exchange you use.
on CoinBank I can instantly sell LiteCoin for USD which is then deposited in my USD wallet (on Coinbase)...which I can then dump (all or part) directly into my checking account.
(usually over night).
I can't tell you how to set up at a fiat account...I'm sure they are all different.

Is VISA allowed in Canada?
If it is then get a VisaShiftCard
to use with one of your wallets on CoinBase
I don't recommend using BitCoin

Great post. Really wished @blocktrades would start supporting ZEC though. Since BTC has become pretty much unusable as money due to transaction costs and transaction delays, I've switched to ZEC as preferred currency for offering and buying services. Pretty sure my steemit presence would be significantly more liquid if I didn't have to go through an additional exchange to change ZEC to STEEM or SBD to ZEC.
