Five easy step to convert SBD into Real dollars (Transfering to bank account)

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

Hello Steemians !
I have been thinking from 2 days how to convert SBD into real dollars and I have been searching and asking for help and here it is . At last I have found the easiest way to convert SBD into USD . I am writing this because newbies gonna need this .
Before beginning the tutorial you must have 2 accounts:

  1. CoinBase / Local Bitcoin Account
  2. Poloniex Account (if poloniex is not working use bittrex and follow same procedure)
    Both of these account do require a verification process. To connect your bank account CoinBase takes roughly 3-4 Days. Poloniex takes about a hour or less and local Bitcoin also takes less time

Step 1

Steem is heavily traded on Poloniex so we should always try to sell steem here
Go to your steemit account and then wallet
Click on steem dollars
Select Buy / Sell

You will be in internal market now

First look into the market trend and then reasonably bid and buy steem from SBD
Hit on Buy steem and confirm

Step 2 -

If you don't have an account goto http://Poloniex.com and sign up!

If Poloniex is not working and converting steem then use Bittrex (https://bittrex.com/)
• Go to Deposits & Withdrawals page
• Select steem from the list
• Then select Deposit

• Make sure to copy 'Your STEEM Memo'
• Once you have an account & have copied your transfer address & Memo go back to steemit wallet and click on your newly converted STEEM
• Select Transfer

• Put poloniex in the account field
If poloniex is not working as said earlier write bittrex in the field
• Paste 'Your STEEM Memo' into the memo field
• Select the amount you want to transfer
• Then hit Transfer
Confirm and go back to poloniex
You will see your pending transfer awaiting confirmations from the STEEM Blockchain
(This process can take up to 20 Minutes) after that light turn green

Step 3 -

It's best to convert to BTC over anything other cryptocurrency

• Go to Exchange menu

From there you will select BTC first then select STEEM from the list
Wait and see market and then carefully trade BTC for steem
• After you submit your SELL Order, all you have to do is wait for it to fill.
• Once Filled you will have to wait again for confirmation from the BTC blockchain

          Step 4 - 

If you don't have a CoinBase/Local Bitcoins (Pakistan)
Here are the links :
https://localbitcoins.com/

https://www.coinbase.com/

After signing up you will receive a bitcoin wallet address in both cases:

For coinbase wallet address

for Local Bitcoin Wallet address

• To see your wallet address click the gray 'wallet address' link on the right of the page.
• Then copy the wallet address
• Go back to Poloniex
• Navigate back to the Balances & Withdrawals page form earlier.
• Search for BTC (You will see your available balance)
• Click withdraw and you will see this window pictured below

• Fill in your new BTC wallet address from CoinBase/Local Biticoin
• Enter the amount you want to withdraw

• Click on the 'Deposits & Withdrawals History' link to check the status of your with drawl

After completion it will be highlighted in green!

You will also see your pending deposit into CoinBase/ Local Bitcoins on the main page under transactions

Once complete it will look like this in both cases

Now you can close Poloniex and continue on with CoinBase/Local Bitcoin for the last steps.
Step 5 -
You will need to verify your bank account which can take up to 5 days! For coin base but on local bitcoin you have to sell it manually to the person who is willing to exchange

Last step for Coin base is as follow:

Go To Trade tab
Select Sell

Enter the amount of BTC you want to sell for USD
Select your bank from the drop down
CoinBase will sell the BTC for you at current market value

Confirm the sale
This will include the date your funds will arrive in your bank account!

Last Step For Local Bitcoin is as follow;

Go to quick sellbbbb.JPG

You will see lots of people with lots of paying method

Choose the person whom you want to sell and for the ease see for the account they are offering for transfer it will save your cost

Then look at the price they are offering for BTC go for highest bid when you click on person then a tab will appear you will put BTC and according to their rate your amount in Pakistani rupees is displayed1111122.JPG

If you agree on the price they are offering look at their terms at the right side of the page
If you agree to their term offer them trade and message the and when they send you money then click on release bitcoins

Remember never to release bitcoins early !!
After they send you amount confirm your account and then send them bitcoins .
If there is problem with the transaction or the buyer is not replying you can dispute the offer after certain time
