Converting Bitcoin to cash
To convert Bitcoin into cash, look for a Bitcoin exchange that will allow you to sell your Bitcoin at a reasonable price, for your preferred local currency (such as pesos, dollars, or euros).
Most Bitcoin exchanges display their sell price, or "offer", in a ticker located at or near the top part of their homepage:
The sell price is basically what an exchange uses to compute how much cash you will get when you convert your Bitcoin. The price shown on the ticker is real-time and is usually updated every few seconds.
When choosing which exchange to use, you should consider the following:
- Whether or not the exchange supports your preferred currency, and your preferred method of receiving your cash
- How much does the exchange charge? (Beware of exchanges with hidden fees!)
- How long it will take for them to send your funds?
- Whether or not their sell price is reasonable
- If the exchange has a reputation of being legitimate and reliable
