Title: How do you guys monitize your BTC earnings?
Post by: nexus99 on November 24, 2013, 04:04:41 AM
I am curious how you guys all are converting your BTC to your local currency?

At some point I am going to want to start converting BTC to fiat and I am not sure of the best way to do that.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

if you don't want to go through the hassle of a traditional exchange, you could buy gift cards for something you would have otherwise bought with fiat, such as for amazon. you get 3% cashback, which is a great deal imo.

or you could sell via localbitcoins, person-to-person.

Don't monetize, they are gonna rise more

That's assuming you have access to regular cash flows in fiat

I don't sell my BTC, simply because i assume more people want BTC than to get rid of it. In other words: the price will rise.
So selling now would not be a good idea.
