Actually, the title of this topic should have been, "People Can’t Convert Their Bitcoin to Cash on a Moment's Notice for the Price They Want, and They’re Pissed."
If average people were interested in Bitcoin, they would be ready to convert as they walked down the street. As it is, the interested people are few and far between.
In the U.S. there isn't much problem converting. It all works on supply and demand. The REAL problem is that you won't get the price you were looking for. The higher your price, the longer you might have to wait to get it, and you may never get it.
If you want cash for your bitcoins, 3 fast places you can sell 'em at are:
http://bitcoin-otc.com/ - person-to-person with ratings;
https://www.bitquick.co/ - escrow accounts for safety;
https://localbitcoins.com/ - local, as the site name says, also with ratings.
A fourth place, for special kinds of deals, is
https://moneypaktrader.com/.
And there are lots more - the exchanges. You simply need to offer your bitcoins at a lower price than anyone else. Make your price low enough and you will get cash for them very fast.
