Stupid question but, whats the math to figure out how many coins I would need to sell to make say $58.27 if one whole BTC is worth $650 or even something like $587.23 ?

Want to add this equation into an excel sheet for auto calculating.

= "cell where desired amount is entered" / +"cell where api of current BTC/USD price is reported"

Surely that was not your question.

If you can't work this out on your own then I think it is likely that you aren't equipped to be speculating with bitcoin. You are going to make a poor decision and lose your coins.

bitcoin_val = 650
desired_return = 58.27
bitcoins_to_sell = desired_return / bitcoin_val

58.27 / 650 = 0.08964615 to eight decimal places

That's what I was after, I've had a very long day and am tired as all hell so please don't take the title to heart and think I'm an idiot which is what I kinda elt you were hintin at with your wording.

Surely you've been so damn tired that you forget simple shit.

In any event, Ty.

So you wanted some people on a crypto-currency forum to take their calculators and do a simple division for you - and failed at it?
Poor you!

"Division".

If you didn't want people to idiofy you, because 'you'd had a hard day', could you not just have had a quick nap instead of posting on the forum?

If I've said anything amusing and/or informative and you're feeling generous:

At least they knew it was a stupid question.

Buy a TREZOR! Premier BTC hardware wallet. If you're reading this, you should probably buy one if you don't already have one. You'll thank me later.
