HOW TO TURN YOUR BITCOIN INTO CASH?
Once you have converted your Steem or Steem Dollars to Bitcoin (as described in the tutorial video) there are a few ways you can cash out to fiat currency.
OPTION 1
Local Bitcoins offer a service which will connect you with the nearest person wishing to buy Bitcoin in exchange for cash. Through this site a meeting place is arranged and the transaction happens peer to peer. No paperwork. No fuss.
And better that this, you are most likely going to have things in common with the person buying your BTC, often leading you to interesting new opportunities and an increase in knowledge surrounding the huge and constantly evolving subject of cryptocurrency.
OPTION 2
There are a growing number of Bitcoin Exchange shops around the world now. Here in central Bali there is a Bitcoin Exchange shop which I have used several times. It's simple but they give you a rubbish exchange rate and take 3% for the service. Also, you are obliged to hand over your passport details to use their service.
The exchange shop will keep a permanent record of your transactions with them, on a shared database. Not so desirable when the tax question surrounding Steemit comes to light.
So if you have a choice, go for option 1.
But if you are looking for convenience and don't care about the on-line 'paper trail' then Option 2 is for you.
You can find your nearest exchange centre using coinmap
