Title: How to sell bitcoins for real money
Post by: saber44 on July 09, 2011, 07:41:18 AM
Could someone give me a brief overview (or link me to one if there is a sticky that answers my question) of how to sell bitcoins for money? I know you need a Mt. Gox account, and I think a dwolla account? How can I ensure I don't get scammed?

your 'safe' from getting scammed so to speak when using an exchange so long as the exchange itself doesnt have issues.

Gox and TH seem popular and fine at the moment.

you just open an account, they give you details to send your btc to them, they credit it to your account. you set a price, if that price is met with a buyer, your account gets credited the value in $$$ and your btc passed on.

then you withdraw via chosen method which varies between exchanges and countries, from options like bank wires, dwolla exchanges or liberty reserve withdawl to same some.

when you go to these sites you can read about their methods and fees.

There is no 100% safety with Bitcoin, enjoy :)    Also, hayden explained it nicely, it really is just bank to Dwolla to Exchange then go the other way when you want your Coin to be cash.

"Real" money is gold and silver coins.  Some silver has been offered here: https://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12697.0

Or maples here: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=10795.0

These guys apparently take BTC too:  http://thegoldtrader.com/
