Dear steemit friends,
One of the things that I regretted myself for the past month was that I didn't really pay attention to "Cryptocurrency and blockChain technology" when I started steemit. I mean I saw posts here and there about how exciting the future of steemit, but to be honest, I have no idea what is really going on..
There are a lot of complicated terms and whenever I tried to read online, I just get bored. One thing I realize is that it's because I don't see many tutorials to teach us how.. I know I know, you are supposed to read that and learn yourself . But I felt like in day to day basis , I browse through steemit, facebook and if there isn't something that caught my eyes or see on my feed, we just don't read it that often.
But I saw bitcoin price up from 3000, 8000 to 18k etc and I told myself.. if I ever tried to understand the whole thing to start, I will never even start it. " We gotta start somewhere, it's now or never. "
So today I bring you on a topic on " HOW THE HELL I TRANSFER CRYPTO INTO REAL MONEY"?
I know there are several ways to do it . But hopefully in this post, I can give you a general idea .This is the process I use to buy cryptocurrency and cash out to actual money.
Thank you @goel.tarun for your request.
To take note :this is not the detail steps , this is just to give you an idea of the process. The first time you do , it's indeed a lot of things you have to set up, but once you completed for the first time, the following times would be so much easier.
Use this link to create your first coinbase account..
https://www.coinbase.com/join/594f5a1cdc116503c38e5dd2
1) First thing first "You have to create a cryptocurrency exchange account that is linked to your bank account".The bank account that u use to transfer the money to your friends or family.
2) You can't really withdraw any cryptocurrency if you do not have this account ( except you have a friend who will do this process for you)
3)The easiest and most common way to create one is at "Coinbase". This is by far the the most user friendly site and is widely available worldwide
4)If Coinbase doesn't support your country , you have to find other cryptocurrency exchanges that do the similar process.
5) Sign up coinbase using the following to get free bitcoin worth $10.
6)After you sign up whether coinbase/ or other exchange, you will be required to verify your account. That include uploading identity card/driver license, latest photo, or bank statements
7) Wait for your account to be verified. ( It might takes a few days for them to verify depending on the amount of users that register)
8) Connect your local bank account to coinbase
9) You can buy cryptocurrency with your credit/debit card but in order to transfer the money to you bank account, You have to finish" step 8".
10)When you local bank account is successfully joined with coinbase, you account is ready to transfer any cryptocurrency to real money
11)One simple thing to understand is that from whatever cryto type you have, you have to convert to Bitcoin (btc)
12) Currently coinbase accept three types of crypto (btc, eth, ltc) but most of the crypto have only trading pair with bitcoin
13) Covert any crypto types you have (steem, SBD, dodgecoin, ripple) to BTC
14) This process has to be done has exchanges like bittrex, binance, bifinex
15) Create account at one of those exchanges ( I use bittrex to do this process)
https://www.bittrex.com/ https://www.bitfinex.com/ https://www.binance.com/
16) upload documents, verify account
17) Convert from steem/steem dollar/xrp to BTC
18) Transfer BTC from bittrex to Coinbase
19) Your balance is available at coinbase
20) From Coinbase sell your BTC to local currency
21) Transfer back the money to your bank account number
I hope you don't get lost with the process :D .. let me know if you would like me to do posts like this .. or If you have any other questions , feel free to leave a comment and I will try my best to answer them.

Thank you very much for this post, @aburmeseabroad. Cryptocurrency is something new for me and still confusing. It's really helpful to read such articles. I will check your other posts.
I'm so glad it's helpful to u.. yeah it's so confusing for me too. If I could give advice is that start creating those accounts because it's free . it's up to you whether u want to deposit or not .. just get ready for actions!
This is just the start i guess,going mainstream soon & glad you made this post too.
I am sure it's going to be epic.. Thank you for the support..:)

I am glad it's useful.. Appreciate the upvote and comment.. :)
Thanks again :)
21 steps! 👍
Welcome back ✨, now that steem and sbd are 🚀, would love to hear your about crypto trading update ☺️!
Bitcoin is moving up, and more than that Steem is today. I trade in small amounts in Bittrex, and that is how I started to know cryptos. It is good to trade, so that one can remain aware of the highs and lows of the market. This is the best way to learn.
I hope your trades are going well.. but well I learn by now the best practise in crypto is to HODL. ☺️
definitely! Steem and SBD are good examples, and the ones who held them must be very happy today.
Hi again, I just made a post about an ico of INS tokens. It was suggested by @kingscrown, and it looks very much promising. If you are interested to invest, check it out. It can be next big thing.
hi.. I have heard a bit of that Ico.. thanks for the heads up.. Will look into more info about it..
oh, this is the information I need. Thanks for the useful information
Glad it's useful sweet. :)
Great advice. I just transfer to my bitpay card, then pull it out of the ATM. Magic internet money!
Seriously though! it's crazy isn't it..especially the price of SBD
This is why I think the surges in Bitcoin Cash recently and today can't really take off and replace Bitcoin because seems to be the only way to buy or sell any other currency.
yeah I agree.. But it's better to use etherum to transfer to platform like bittrex to buy other alt coins as bitcoin transaction fees are such a killer.
It's really helpful.:)

bittrex?
I hear it has a problem at
@pyaesonekhinkhin 's post
So far.. I have no problem.. but since many ppl has tried to sign up, even coinbase isn't accepting new customers or some delay verifying . But binance n bittrex some of the best platform to use .
ok , thank my sis
thank you. I am about to ask you how to do it. :P
My pleasure:)
Thank you for the helpfull infomations!
Glad it's helpful. :)
Thanks for honouring my request Ms. Wonderful post. I hope you keep writing more and more such tutorials and keep guiding the newbies :)
You are welcome.. I love writing post this.. because it make me learn into deep on the topics but I am not so sure many ppl are interested..
Gradually Steem is picking up and sooner or later people will be reading these tutorials because Steem isn't as easy as other SM platforms. Keep Rocking!! :)
At the same time I wonder, why doesn't Steemit has a notification feature, like someone mentions you and you get a notification.
I know .. it's such a bummer!
I really miss this feature too :D
I actually think it is a superb idea not to have notifications. You have to manually go in and check for replies. But I’m sure it will come as a function you can either turn on or off.
As we are just beginners here, that was really super useful info for us, thanks for that. We wish you a good day. Greetings from Phuket

Thank you so much for helping out on this extremely important topic. I learned in bits and pieces and in next week will spend some time to setup everything as you documented. I understand that the first step will be the biggest and this article will help a lot in it. Got my lost tracks on track with it !!
Thank you and @goel.tarun for requesting it
Hello, thank u Glad it helps.. I have been helping friends to create account on steemit and it also help me save a lot of time to explain them all the details .. hehe ..
Very true, thats the power of blogging. You write, you let others learn and grow and in return you get time to learn more and grow :)
I bookmarked your post (resteem button has gone poof) so that I can reread when I want to draw some money. Not too happy about having to transfer to bitcoin as I seem to recall converting them has a fee of about 10%. Am I right?
Thank you.. it makes me happy it's helpful to you .. yes bitcoin transfer fees r ridiculous, but tips is to convert ur BTC to LTC and then transfer LTC to coinbase. So much cheaper.
Thanks, your advice is stored with the bookmark, so I'll have it when I need it.
Thank you so much for explaining
