You get paid through STEEM and SBD (STEEM Dollars)
If you want to cash it out you will have to sell it on an exchange for Bitcoin then sell that Bitcoin on Coinbase or something.

Thanks, but how do i get steem dollars and how do i know when i have it, there's no manual here explaining all these. Thanks

Go to "wallet" and you can claim the rewards there. You should have SOME level of crypto knowledge before using Steemit. A wallet is a personal address much like a P.O. Box at the post office. People can send you money directly to your wallet and you can do the same back. You can also send money to you other wallets, such as an exchange like Poloniex or w/e. There you can sell the currency for FIAT.

Ok, thanks. I know all about wallet, bitcoin, blockchain etc. I was talking about how you earn the bitcoin here.
