best ways to convert steem to cash
Hi steemians
Today. I want to help, especially new users in steemit, find useful services online about:
How to exchange steem to CASH?
First to exchange steem to cash need two steps:
Step 1: Convert your steem into bitcoin (BTC) or other crypto.
Step 2: Use your bitcoin (or others crypto) to get your cash.
starting with step 1:
convert your STEEM into bitcoin (btc)
for expert users , you can exchange steem to Etherium, Monero, ten X,or any cryptocurrency that give users mastercard or visa to use.
most of these cards in dollar, euro,sterling, ruble.
for begineer users or need bitcoin , so the convert steem into bitcoin can do that using many services like:
1- blocktrades
trusted and recommend by steemit community a lot. this service uses acceptable exchange rate and fees, receive your currency fast , blocktrades easy to understand even for the first time of use.
so easily exchange steem or steem dollar to bitcoin (or others crypto) tons of articles, videos here in steemit to confirm the value of blocktrades.
2- The Instant Cryptocurrency exchanges (ICE)
First you need to understand, easy and fast exchange means bad convert rate and more fees!!
The Instant Cryptocurrency exchanges (ICE) like Changelly and ShapeShift give a bad rate for bitcoin price by more than 800$ to real price in real time in most markets, the pro in instant cryptocurrency exchanges (ICE) is no fees exist for deposit and Withdrawal and big security system 2FA.
One bad thing here in (ICE) is the restrictions on buying by credit card depending on country of users, High transaction fee of 0.5% to 0.8% in some cases.
recommend only two famous and honest (ICE):
-- Changelly.com
The owner of this service is the same owner of the famous mining program: MinerGate, he improves month after month in this year to become one of best service online in crypto era.
Payments Accepted is Credit Cards and Crypto Currency (72 crypto) steam is one of them.
you can easily exchange to stem to bitcoin with accepted rate.
this service have many conditions depend on your country to respect the law of your country.
for USA, Canada, and Australia: no limits to purchase using your credit card after your first month in this service, but in your first day only purchase 50$ The next purchase of 100$ after 3 days, after one week of your first purchase you can spend 500$ by 3 payments only.
there are no limits after your first month to purchase using your credit card.
EU and the rest of the world: first transaction uses only 100$!!! , after 4 days 200 $, 7 days after your first transaction you can spend 500$ (no more than 6 transactions in first week), after one month no limit cap for all transactions.
for the rest of the world, most (ICE) not authorize in many countries.
changelly confirm that first transaction and fees depend on bitcoin price in future.
--shapeshift.io
one of the old trust service online to exchange bitcoin and others crypto, but in 2017 this service gives a bad exchange rate compare other services and you find many crypto like steem not available many days per week.
I recommend only using this service if you search trust service and don't worry about fees and rate.
Shapeshift have many projects to focus only in top 30 crypto currency in the future.
3-Bittrex
One of the famous exchange market with huge exchanges daily, this network is recommended by steemit community too in welcome page.
this network is so famous by their trading fees stand at 0.25%.
Bittrex not a Beginner Friendly service, need knowledge of gameplay here and laws to avoid close accounts (see many videos on YouTube about that)
Deposit Methods: Cryptocurrencies and accept Bank Wire if higher than $10,000,accept Cryptocurrencies for Withdrawal Methods only.
To be honest, I don't love this service, but many good reviews about this network exist in thousands websites, people uses him without problem fast exchange of steem to bitcoin (or others).
You need verify account, to start using bittrex, a network based in Seattle, USA.
Many people use other ways like poloniex trading plateform, but my personal opinion, i don't like poloniex for many reasons hacked in the past poor support and others..)
step 2: convert your bitcoin to cash
1-bitpay
BitPay is my favorite way to withdraw bitcoin to cash https://bitpay.com accept direct bank deposit in 38 countries Settlement in USD is available via ACH to banks in the USA, and will appear in your bank account after 2 business days.
BitPay supports settlement in 8 currencies.
Bitpay give the opportunity for merchants, have you any store online, you can add bitcoin buying widget on website to get sells by bitcoin users send directly to your bitcoin wallet in bitpay, in your wallet, you can convert all your bitcoin to cash or mix between bitcoin and cash both in your wallet account.
For individuals in the United States, the BitPay app provides a simple integration with Glidera, and Coinbase allowing users to buy bitcoin directly from the app.
Bitpay app exists in all better plateform (Linux, windows store, google play, iOS app store, windows,MacOS sierra)
bitpay need in reality more than 10 articles to know all features and how the work.
2-cex.io
This caliber Trading Platform rank 5,221 in Alexa, with the customer base of over 1,000,000 (most users from us and Australia, China, Japan).
Trust network to use without doubt, use good exchange rate and 8 cryptocurrency to exchange.
btc to usd is a famous service here https://cex.io/btc-usd.
You can find other services in bottom of the website.
If have followers in Youtube, email lists, forums or any social media,you can get promoted their affiliate program, given you earn 30% of the fee of every exchange transaction from your invite users.
finally,after converting your bitcoin to dollar or euro by trading you can send your amount $$ to mastercard given by CEX.
You find all fee cards here:https://cex.io/fee-schedule#/tab/payments.
The price of card change every month, depend on your location shipping and bitcoin price, from 10 $ to 19$.
3- shift visa card
From this website : https://www.shiftpayments.com/card
You can access to all features in this service,from the first look you can see that shift payments is a big concurrent of bitpay maybe better in some features like card fees,support and reputation of shift payments (from Novenber 2013) your daily spending Currently limit in $1,000 USD, you need to contact support if like increase this limit.
In my opinion, bitpay have better features, but shift payments still a fast solution for many people.

4- payza
Payza in famous online service to money transfers, process payments on your website and many others services.
payza search many new markets to grow so develop the last two projects.
the first-deposit money in many small bank online.
This solution in new (2017) but payza accept to send their funds only to show the world that open to new market like bitcoin and loves to invest in him.
Payza accepts to deposit funds in service like advcash, payeer, EPAY and others with small fees.
so simply you can send money to any of this service and use any mastercard offer by all this bank (wonder solution for many users can't use the payza card for their countries).
adcash , payeer ,epay , moneypolo accept bitcoin.
Paypal don't accept similar action to deposit money.
The second - bitcoin system
payza put an integral bitcoin system like any bitcoin wallet online, you can receive and send bitcoin from your wallet in payza, use unlimited bitcoin address, more you can withdrawal bitcoin in your payza card faster.
of course, this payza card can used to buy others crypto from services that accept master card.
5- Broker service : Paxful
Finally, you can use exchange type (Broker), like localbitcoins, paxful to sell your bitcoins with high rate and receive your money by Paypal and any other options you like.
All brokers services are a bad option if you want to buy bitcoins for many reasons, but the best choice to earn if you like selling bitcoin.
Paxful have big many advantages and choices card for US users.

6- uquid
Many similar network of uquid exist, but the best feature in uquid : unlimited lifetime purposes and ATM withdrawals.
Your proof of residence must not be more than 3 months old and in English to verify account .

The website of uquid is so helpful, give all infos about fees, services and faq section, more UQUID Affiliate Program give the opportunity to earn Commission fee: 10% for every user that deposit with the website.
monthly fee for card: 1$ with card Valid for 3 years.
Uquid is good service offer many solutions for specific countries users.
Finally, tons of other ways exist can convert your steem in cash like, coinbase, coinmama wirex,others broker sevices, but i stop only here for the most honest and trust networks,some other services available only in some countries coinbase (only in 33 countries to Withdrawal any card), cryptopay available in EU only, and high fees, bad support or bad review for others.
I wish that article can help you, avoid many problems and progress in your steemit success.
