Introduction
My dad @grandpere is a retired 75 years old man who always had a knack for technology. Even though he is well versed in computer, he did have a hard time figuring out how to exchange crypto. Anyone who went through this process the first time know what I mean.
I saw him work for 5 days on this! So we teamed up for this post.
Give him a big cheer and vote if you find this post is valuable!
@grandpere message:
Steemit comes from a cryptocurrency community that knows the workings of trade. @grandpere was not born with the crypto but paper money. I like to think that I know computers well enough, despite my age, but when it comes time to reap the fruits of my hard work, I was little lost.
Fortunately, @cryptoctopus, yep, that's my son, helped me out by saying, "click here, click there, copy here, then paste, etc. and oups! Voila, money is in my bank account! What a joy, what a surprise ... but I did not understand anything!
And I guess Steemit wants to reach an audience beyond the crypto enthusiasts! Anyway, everyone is open to earn money. So I put myself in "learning mode".
Having been a teacher of Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Web producer), who produces learning manuals step by step, so I set out to produce a document for the uninitiated, newbies like me. Opportunity to master the process, not easy for dummies!
Being Canadian, the choice of traders has changed. CoinBase no longer do business with Canadian banks has a sword over it's head. So I chose Kraken after checking other exchanges.
The document explains the different steps it takes to cover deposits in our bank account.

Hope you found this useful. If you want to come back to it later, I suggest you bookmark this page.
Now all that is left to do is wait for the money to show up. :-)
Hey cryptoctopus,
believe me or not. I sent this to my grandpa and he was able to cash out :D he might be old but is interested to technologies. A really simple and great post there.
Bookmarked it. Hope to see more from you my friend

@cryptoctopus, and @grandpere, thanks for share it, right now everything is more clear!!! I´m downloading the PDF, I will search more and more about this terrific tecnlogy!!! I just called it "the new era", I was working with Bittrex but I lost some money... if you say than this plataform is batter... I will try it... Be sucsess, and thanks again. GBY and remember, the Sky is not the limit, the limit is in our minds.... Thanks from the #steemitcolombia comunity!!!

Great stuff! Hopefully in the future this will become even easier because many would get overwhelmed by slide 3. I can hear them now, "Can't I just write a check? I know how to do that."
My hope is we'll eventually have fewer reasons to use a national currencies at all. My wife finally got into crypto currencies because of Steemit after me trying and failing for over three years. She skipped the complicated bank verification step and just went right to Coinbase and then from there to Gyft where she bought an Amazon gift card. Once that was loaded up, the money felt "real" to her. We call that "getting to the magic" and whoever can do that the quickest in the crypto world will bring in the most new people.

I don't understand why are you promoting blocktrades when by using poloniex or bittrex you can get +5% more STEEM with the same bitcoin ...

I agree with you. For a first publication, I wanted to offer the simplest solution. For an upgrade, I want to add options to Bittrex, Poloniex and others. Other updates are coming.

With Poloniex and Bittrex, we need to create an account, not with BlockTrades, therefore easier for a newbie.

Interesting. I started with Bittrex but I have not found how to transfer to my bank, particularly a Canadian bank. Could be used instead of Bittrex BlockTrades, but a little more developed for newbies

Quadriga CX is a Canadian based company in Vancouver that anyone in Canada can use to do this as well. Basically you transfer the Bitcoin to Quadriga CX then convert it for CDN or US funds, and then do a withdrawl into either a Cdn funds account or a US Funds account, and presto a couple days later the cash is in your account. Enjoy

Thank for the information. I saw that. I think the trading with Quadriga is made with Interac and fees are 2%. Kraken uses Vogogo (LFS) and the fees are 10$. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Your grandpa can figure out cryptocurrency while I am still trying to get my parents to understand the concept of what an internet browser is... I'm not sure how many more, "No mom, the chrome logo is not the internet, it is the browser that lets you view things on the internet" and "I don't know what you mean when you say the Yahoo isn't working anymore" I have left in me

At the time I am writing this, Blocktrades says says that it will give 0.00132527 Bitcoin per Steem Dollar. The current price of Bitcoin as I write this is $575. This means that 0.00132527 BTC is worth about $0.75 (75 pennies). However, you are giving them 1 Steem Dollar, which as I write this is worth $2.11. So if you were to exchange 100 steam dollars you would be giving them $211 dollars and they would only be giving you $75 in return. That sounds like a horrible deal for exchanging Steem Dollars for Bitcoin. No thanks.

The goal of the tutorial is to explain the steps. At the time of screenshots, exchange rate was .73, so no time to exchange with no market as shown in the dia # 17 where I recommend .95 and above. Is it OK?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Oh I see, I made a mistake. A Steem dollar is only worth $1 and not $2.11 like I said in my last comment. Ok so if you give them $100 then they give you $75 back. That is still not a great deal but it is not as bad as I was originally thinking.

ah ha, KRAKEN...
I checked out Bittrex earlier when you recommended it as a Canadian exchange, though contacted them and told they don't currently do withdrawals to Canadian bank accounts. so Kraken may be the way to go. 1% withdrawal free not that bad.
though, would also like to stay away from the fiat system (for various reasons) as much as possible, working with Bitcoin visa cards - though still need to find one in CAD dollars, as the USD exchange would typically be 3%...
