I have no idea how to sell off SBD or STEEM into USD @davemccoy. Only how to buy steem. I’ve never sold any crypocurrency into usd either.
My only solution of helping is if Brian would like to send me the 50 SBD, you tell me the worth in USD and I can send you that money via PayPal. I’ll have to use my H’s PayPal acct since I don’t have one of my own. I can look into opening one myself later if it’s not difficult.
Let me know. You know how to reach me.
Thank you so very much @beeyou for your thoughts here...I love that you're letting the other guys do the math haha
Dave's post was the first thing I saw here this morning and I've been a blubbering mess ever since! I gasped and Brian thought something was wrong...I said, "you have to see what Dave's done now!", and then we sat watchingthat is something Brian and I will never forget. for an hour, unable to react. In between crying and smiling, we felt simply in awe of the overwhelming support and caring coming from here. You... sweet, lazy, loving @beeyou are, of course, in the thick of it, and
It's a good thing I didn't put mascara on this morning or I'd be looking like a messy old raccoon by now :) Thank you again for everything @beeyou!!
Dave does know how to pull us all together on here. It’s part of his charm. 😉
easy way as much as I can. Love how you added lazy, yep, that is me in a nutshell! I will graciously accept the other terms of endearment too. 🙂My part is small @lynncoyle1. I like taking the
Thank goodness on the no mascara. That mess is hard to clean! I try to avoid when I can. You know we all love you two and only want you both to enjoy every moment together. We can’t help with some things but can surely help with Brian getting the meds he need.
Thank you again for your part in this then! I've hit the crying stage once more, and am at a loss for words...
<3 <3
Tears of happiness only Lynn. That’s the only thing allowed if you must!
No more upvoting for me today. Stayed away for days and drained my VP in one day. 😩
Yes, tears of happiness!
I saved up my VP to upvote everyone on my 'big' post...I'v tapped out too haha
Hi @beeyou
That's very kind of you :)
Can I ask how you buy STEEM? (We should then be able to work out how to do the opposite if you ever need to)
An option to view the live prices are here: https://www.worldcoinindex.com
And at the MSP Disord in the 'playing with bots' room:
I buy one of the cryptos using coinbase, then use that to buy steem either directly with Steemit or using binance.
Thanks for the numbers @abh12345. Now, if @davemccoy can give me the final figure, I’d be happy to help if we go my route. Lol, I really do hate doing the math!
Edit, I know I can sell it back with coinbase (they have all my info anyways) just never learned how!
a couple of us have just sent SBD directly to dave, so it can be collected up and then one user can send all
I plan on doing that too once I’m home and on my laptop. That’s very kind of everyone @jan23com. We are a community and it’s the chance for us to all help out if we can help. Even giving an upvote is a thoughtful gesture and well received!
Ahh ok :D
The route would be STEEM to binance - STEEM to LiteCoin - Litecoin to Coinbase - Sell Litecoin to USD Wallet - Withdraw.
Depending on binance exchange prices, I believe this is the cheapest method.
(Coinbase do like to take an annoying sum and so if there is a registration of card details on binance this could save a few steps and be cheaper)
At current prices, 50 SBD is $160.61032 (50 x $3.2122064)
Gotcha! Yes, I can do that @abh12345 but it would mean going through coinbase for me with the withdrawal. That means converting SBD to STEEM internally first?
I don’t have my info on binance...I know I should trust them but it’s an international company so I’m reluctant to give my info and bank info.
As for coinbase, they forced my hand to adding my info. I signed up when it wasn’t a requirement to give out all my info for buying. A month or so back, I tried logging on to see what I had in there and they wouldn’t even let me log on without giving them everything. That’s fine since I have nothing to hide but I drew the line when the employer field was also required. So I told them personal and that bypassed the hard stop. Giving up personal info for transparency is one thing, but you really don’t need to know where I work to give me access to my funds!
This depends if Binance have both, or just STEEM on the exchange. I don't have an account there and do seem to remember reading it's just STEEM at present. And so yes, you would need to exchange on the internal market here, first.
Damn Coinbase, I reluctantly use them too. At least it's been plain sailing for me so far - no issues.
Let’s cross our fingers it stays that way. They might want the name and rights to our first born one day! 😂
Yes, I think Binance has STEEM only. That was recently added too. Internal it is if Dave wants to go my route!
you can go steem- ------> use block trades (if it is price appropriate) to convert steem to lite coin or such and it will convert and send at the same time --------> coinbase-------------> bank account.
easy peasy and takes about 5 minutes. block trades may cost more than binance I don't know for sure. In my opinion it would be best to send it to their coinbase account wallet because they are in mexico. If any of us in the states take it into our coinbase account we will have to report it as income on our income taxes. If we don't uncle Sam is gonna come kick your door in wanting his money. Just my 2 cents. take it as you will
Edit: also if you use blocktrades you do not have to set up an account.
lol... on the math... you are always so funny when your mind starts to wander on that! :P
You know me, why waste brain cells when I have super smart people to do it for me? 😉
lol... well I guess its good you don't waste brain cells on math, you use them in other ways so nicely! No wonder you are so amazing at so many other things!
PS... I might need to take you up on your offer of converting some if the donations keep coming in. I was prepared for $150 (or 50 sbds) but its coming in better than that. We will check with Brian and see what works best for him.
Of course, let me know. Will be happy to help and take screen shots of every transaction to show transparency.
It is still coming in... I will wait til tomorrow mid day and then do the count... I have already sent them $150 so the urgency of the meds for tomorrow is taken care of... Then we can see what you can do and then also involve pennsif too... Thank you again @beeyou for being so wonderful and always there when it counts for people :)
you are awesome @beeyou! Thank you for the generous offer! :) I will handle sending it to Brian as I do have a paypal account too... I know I can always count on you to help in any way you can, so thank you so much for everything you do! And I do know how to reach you :P
Ok, let me know Dave. 🙂 Brian should open a coinbase or binance acct or any others out there if he plans on taking SBD out in the future. For instance, when Lynn’s megapost pays out.
I agree that's what I'm hoping to accomplish... Get him the $150 today... and get set up for the future with getting his own conversion accounts set up! That's perfect.
haha @beeyou. My megapost is another overwhelming thing right now!
Coinbase/binance? Is either one better? worse? easy to deal with? etc?
Both the same to me? I’ve never taken money out so I can’t tell you about the easy factor.
I use Coinbase because it’s based in San Francisco, CA. Funny thing is, when I used a credit card to add funds once, it showed up as an international charge!
As for Binance, it’s an international corp so you decide on that one.
The problem with opening an account with both and probably withdrawing funds, it will take DAYS for the approval process. That’s just to open the account. You will likely have to provide your personal info, SSN, DOB, bank acct info, and send them a copy of your identification.
Again, I’ve never taken money out. Only added funds, and I had to give Coinbase all my info just to give them my money!
This is where the "lazy" hits me! I like pensif's post that Asher shared; maybe he's interested in buying some too ;)
I know @sames and Brian are talking right now, but turns out Coinbase is out...doesn't work for Mexico. I'm hoping as time goes on, this process will become easier, but that's of no use now, is it?
I'll let the guys sort this stuff out...haha I'm sounding like you now :)
Just know if you try other avenues like Binance, it could take days to be “approved” for an account. On top of that, it might take days to transfer the funds to your bank account. So better to start now with the account process.
My coworker told me of people he knows in “real” life using Binance and sharing their info. They trade in the hundreds and thousands, so perhaps it’s safe if they use it. I’ve only used Binance to trade cryptos.
Didn’t know Coinbase is not available in Mexico. Sometimes the lazy way is best. I’ll wait for Dave to let me know if he needs my help. For now, simply be a spectator. Less work. 😁
Dave and Brian are now talking too. Are you interested in buying some of Brian's sbd? because I know they're talking about Pensif's offer as well.
