Title: cheapest way to go from BTC to USD wire to someone else
Post by: Looser by Choice on February 16, 2013, 03:19:49 PM
Ok I have BTCs i can sell them and withdraw to my bank account via mtgox and then wire to someone else.
But I would like to skip the extra step and just convert my btcs to usd and wire to a 3rd party directly and that way saving on bank fees.
What would be the cheapest way to wire your BTCs to USD bank account?

Have that someone open and verify a MtGox account. You send them btc or a gox code, they withdraw to their bank.

For those who miss the point of this thread - MtGox AML regulations require you to wire money to a bank account issued in your name. Not sure how other bigger exchanges compare.

Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately in that particular case having those people open mtgox acc is not really an option :(
and in most cases when dealing with traditional business too.

Bitcoins are easy, fast, and cheap to move around the world, dollars and euros are not.  This thread is really asking about moving dollars between people, and has nothing to do with Bitcoin.

No, this thread is about selling bitcoins for US dollars, then sending those dollars to someone else.

Or sending bitcoins to someone else, then that someone selling those bitcoins for dollars.

There is no such thing as "cashing out to 3rd parties", and there are good reasons why any sane merchant or customer would not attempt to get involved in such practice. Each trade involves implicit and explicit contractual obligations and rights. "Cashing out to 3rd parties" only invites trouble.
