www.Circle.com or www.Coinbase.com are easy solutions with minimal to no fees. You can also use www.LocalBitcoins.com for a swift cash deposit at an above preev price. Nor, do you mind me asking what your average buy price is for your stockpile? Pure curiosity.

I thought that he already said around $280, so even selling at $380, he would be up $100 per BTC.. something like that.

ohhh he meant at what price i bought them. sorry i thought you said at what price i am selling them..

I'm not going to go back through the posts, but my recollection, more or less, was that you asserted that you hold about 190 BTC, and you were becoming somewhat anxious regarding when to sell them.. but also Peonminer was asking you about your average buy price.

I had understood that you had made a couple of purchases, and that your profits would be around $100 per coin, if you sold at current price.

I don't recall whether you specified if that was your average buy price only for the 40 coins or if your total portfolio had an average buy price in the upper $200s.

You know many of us who have been buying BTC for a while, and even trading BTC to some extent have made a large number of transactions, and we come up with a variety of ways to attempt to calculate our average costs per BTC and the extent to which we are profitable or not.

I personally think that these profitability considerations are all valid, and also, I am totally accepting of the fact that posters have a considerable variety in their ways of calculating their investment in bitcoin and the extent to which they may be profitable or not.

You do not necessarily need to disclose either your total number of coins or your average buy price or your framework; however, sometimes it can be helpful towards considering what to do and how to perceive your situation... and peonminer was asking you about your average price per btc for your whole BTC holdings... which is up to you whether you disclose such details.

oh right, no i dont mind disclosing, its considered as informative.

100 below $230 and 50 between $230-$245 (banked a large cash so converted a portion) and around 40.69 between $260-$290

thats why i wanted to sell a little bit over $400. i would feel more profitable. but still, in about 24hours, ill drop maybe 30-35coins. just to get a little bit of liquidity and the rest i will keep them (for the time being because the situation is not yet critical critical) but if it drops to $380-$385 am dumping all and do something else with my life.

So your average buy in price is quite a bit less than what I had initially thought that you had said..

Anyhow, based on what you said, I will place your average buy in price around $245 per BTC, and your total amount invested around $45k.

Actually cashing out all or a very large portion of your BTC holdings may not be a bad idea, because taking or locking in profits can be a good thing and then to reconsider your situation.

One problem with taking profits;however, could be tax consequences, and you may want to consider keeping some of your bitcoins invested in BTC in order that you will not need to consider tax consequences (at least defer such considerations until when you cash out).

But that is a personal choice.

It seems that your personal amount invested in BTC is around $45k, and the value of your BTC holdings is around $75K (at $400).

Personally, I would recommend that you consider some form of moderate approach in cashing out that would keep a portion of your BTC holdings.

You could cash out a bit over half of your BTC holdings or even around half, and get back most of your initial dollar investment, but even if bitcoin remains, quite volatile, if you continue to hold 50 to 90 BTC, you will still be in a considerably decent position without having a whole lot of your personal money invested (mostly just profits), so for example, you could cash out the equivalent of $45k, and still maintain nearly half of your coins for the longer term...

Anyhow, ultimately, the choice is yours to make in light of your total circumstances.

By the way, providing specific numbers does help us to consider your particular matter more thoroughly, but it does also disclose personal information about you too that may not be necessary in order to brainstorm with you about considerations in making a decision.. because ultimately, when you make a decision about what to do with your bitcoins and your life investment choices, you are likely weighing other factors merely beyond your bitcoin holdings.

you are totally on target about what i am planning to do. but i have to say if this is a plan of the whale then the scenario has already been made once. remember it reached a top high $320 and then drop to $220 (thats when i thought it was wise to buy fast)
then few months later it topped over $400.

now, i am not saying i should not cashout, but like you said, cashing out a small considerable amount to keep the cash in liquid money and able to do something about it is not a bad idea. i actually like your reasoning and you have been speaking my mind out.

few hours from now, i am going to sell 35 btc at $400 per btc. but the minimum buying is 1btc and not less.

if i do happen to do it, ill let you know. but if i dont you will see me speculate about probable positivity on the thread again lol.

edit : if any of you have a good reliable idea or exchanger i can cash out 35btc at once. let me know.

Regular verified Coinbase accounts allow you to cash out $50,0000 at once. You can also create an account on uphold and cash out without moving the coins to a bank... or you can put all your cashing out coins on circle or coinbase, and just convert the whole account to dollars... which is effectively accomplishing the cashing out for free... and then just withdrawal at your own pace.

international bank transfer is possible from coinbase??

Maybe limitations depend upon which country you attempt to set up an account, and from where you have a bank account?

Here's a coinbase link that describes USA, Canada, and various other European countries that are possible. I am not familiar with all of the options, and probably will depend upon your country, too.

Edit 1: I looked at your profile, and you have been participating in bitcoin forums for nearly 4 years, so you should know these various options, no?
