Steem is real money and it is not just a digital figure you see on your computer screen much less a game money. For those who are new to the cryptocurrency industry let me emphasize that you can actually use this Steem currency to provide food on your table, pay for bills, etc. etc. Let me then show you the easiest and most efficient way for you to convert this to your local currency.
Although cryptocurrency has now gained its popularity to new heights, it is still undeniably true that Bitcoin is the most widely exchanged and most accessible digital coins to exchange to local cash. So our process is simply exchange your Steem to Bitcoin then Bitcoin to your local currency.
It is actually easy and if you haven't set it up yet, it will only take you about ten minutes to do the entire process. What you just need is an exchange or trading platform (to exchange Steem to Bitcoin). Then a hosted web wallet that is easily accessible on your country like what Coinbase is to the US, and finally transfer your Bitcoins to your favorite cash out medium (ATM, Bank Account, Money Remittance Centers, etc.).
For the sake of our illustration here, I will be using for screenshots Poloniex as our trading platform, coins.ph for the hosted web wallet and show withdrawal options from the said web wallet too. Don't worry if you are using services, it is more of the same with other platforms only slight variations on the appearance but the functions are most likely the same.
The Step by Step Guide.
Step1 : Access Your Trading or Exchange Platform.
If you have not done it yet, create an account in a trading or exchange platform. It is FREE and easy. The most popular are Poloniex and Bittrex for trading platforms and Changelly for the exchange platform.
Poloniex and Bittrex are good if you have time to wait for your desired Steem selling price level. If you set your price right this is the most profitable way to convert your Steem to Bitcoin.
While an exchange platform like Changelly offers the best rate at the current prevailing price, if you just want to immediately convert from Steem to Bitcoin then Changelly is for you.
Process illustration:
a. Sign up and create a Poloniex account
b. Once you have already signed up, sign in and DEPOSIT your steem (from Steemit or other Steem wallet sources) to your Poloniex steem wallet
c. From your Balances. select the Steem account then click Deposit. The account name and memo details where to send your steem will appear. Proceed to deposit your steem to Poloniex.
d. Go to the exchange menu and trade according to your desired selling price of Steem to Bitcoin.
Step 2: Transfer Bitcoin to your hosted web wallet.
Once you have your Bitcoin as equivalent to your Steem that you have just exchanged or traded. Then the next step is transfer that Bitcoin to your web wallet. There are a lot of reliable web wallet that is very convenient to use for each country. Here are the list of the most popular:
1.For USA , Canada , UK - coinbase.com
2.For Australia,Newzealand - Cointree.Com, coinjar.com
3.For India - zebpay.com , unopay.com
4.For Philippines - Coins.ph
5.For Singapore - Coinhako.com
6.For Malaysia - Coins.my
7.For Nigeria And Africa - nairaex.com
8.For Dubai and rest of UAE - bitoasis.net
9.For Indonesia - bitcoin.co.id
10.For Rest of the world - localbitcoins.com
11.Purchase bitcoins using credit card/debit card - cex.io , buy.bitcoin.com
a. Log in to your web wallet (coins.ph or anything) and get your Bitcoin Wallet Address.
b. Copy that Bitcoin Wallet address
c. Go back to your Poloniex or other platforms where your Bitcoin will be coming from. Choose withdrawal option and send your bitcoin to the Bitcoin wallet address of your web wallet. Wait for it to arrive.
Step 3: Cash out to Your local Currency.
Once received just choose the option how you want to receive your money. With coins.ph you can get your money through your bank account, remittance centers, mobile phone wallet and even cardless ATM transactions.
Now that you know how easy it is to convert your Steem to your local cash, I am hoping that there will be less hesitation for you to go steeming. Go full speed on Steemit now, it is fun and profitable!
I am refreshed everyday by listening to powerful messages or hearing inspiring music. Here is one of what I watched and listened today. Be inspired, be empowered, enjoy!

Great article. I am the guy that runs Steemit Blogger Central on Facebook. Wanted to let you know I am about to post this directly on the wall over there in hopes to get you more views. Great job, well deserving of my follow and upvote....keep up the great work
Awesome, I really appreciate your help. Followed back.. looking forward to upvote and resteem your posts here in steemit
Anytime my friend, really just want to help others and get people going smoothly on here. Need anything let me know here or the page, usually around a lot. Great meeting you
Great meeting you too! Your Steemit Facebook Fan Page rocks... that is really a great way to spread the word about steemit. Congrats!
Really appreciate the compliment, its a work in progress, plan to get an ad campaign going so more users get involved so everyone benefits. Hopefully it becomes more useful for everyone. Keep me in the loop when you write more stuff and I will resteem it there for you anytime
I am using a tool to manage Facebook fan pages. It automatically posts on schedule contents for my fan pages. It is called fptraffic and I have good experience with it so far...
I have used that in the past, actually one of the better ones. I tend to do it on the fly though myself. I manage a horror fan page with almost 20K followers and kind of learned to keep it consistent with the people that come in, be prepared to always be there when someone needs a posting done or something answered. Automation does help in times I can't be in 2 places at the same time but I try to rely mostly on being around and available...as it grows it will be harder to do but I will try to manage it somehow. Great advice, I will keep it in mind to use that app again
Great post @arnel well done i think there is some of us that did no know how to do this . Thank you @sflaherty for sharing this post on Face book was it not for that i would have never seen this .
Anytime, I figured this was a very important post everyone should see, so had to resteem it for him. Its a hassle getting that money out of here in crypto but once you do it a few times and see options its always gets a little easier lol.
I will have to try it some time saved the post for when i need it :-)
Thank you @louiscpt for dropping by and for your encouraging comment. Yes, @sflaherty FB fan page is awesome.

You're welcome @gmuxx I am glad that you find it valuable. It encourages me to post more...
Thanks to your post last night I signed up to Changelly and opened a Bitcoin wallet which issued me a virtual debit card - I will be ordering a physical card soon.
It's all a lot clearer to me now, thank you again
You're welcome... I am glad that you took action. Happy earning with steemit and perhaps with other cryptocurrencies.
Looking forward to see you very successful.

As YOU and OTHERS pick up on my FREE TRAINING on the steemit.com Platform. You can always refer to my MAIN page BLOG here ===>>> https://steemit.com/@cassidyandfranks
Helping OTHERS succeed WILL definitely BENEFIT the Steemit Community and Platform.
BTW, I prefer to use @blocktrades to exchange my STEEM/SBD into BTC ETH DASH LTC DOGE
blocktrades.us
I really don't use other exchanges at the moment. I do however use the GYFT App which allows you to purchase ALL sorts of Gift Cards to use in the United States. I also have the ability to buy and sell BTC with Bitcoin ATM's here too! Great step by step guide which you have created for mostly INTERNATIONAL users.
Keep STEEM N ON,
Frank
Resteem...
Checked your main page and followed you so I can be updated to your posts and updates.
Yes I think blocktrades is also good as I noticed that steemit market is using it. But for cryptotraders Polo and Bittrex are quite popular to get the maximum value for trading position to any altcoins and Bitcoin.
Anyway as long as you can convert from Steem to BTC that will do. Coinbase is very popular in the US for BTC/Ethereum transactions too.
helpful info
Thanks. I am glad that you like it.
Very helpful for newbies. I would add Chinese Steemians can transfer BTC to any of the exchanges there, like yunbi.com, huobi.com, btcchina.com and okcoin.com, to obtain fiat currency.
Thank you for your comment and thank you again for the additional resources on how to exchange BTC to fiat.
This is probably the most concise and easy to follow post I've read on selling steemit. I don't even have a wallet, still trying to figure it all out. This definitely helped!! Followed and resteemed from Texas!!
Thank you for your comment and for the follow. Rest assured that I'll do my best to post valuable contents on my blog.
Thanks for the blog. As I have yet to convert to steem and am trying specifically not to buy in with fiat money (I want this to be self-contained for now), this is information I have wondered about but not learned. Will follow, hopefully you follow me too. Thanks again!
Hold and accumulate as long as you can. Steem will go up in value very soon... but if you need to spend it and convert it to cash, this information will come in handy. Followed back, looking forward to see more of your valuable posts and to upvote.
Yeah, my plan is to hold on to my Steam. That's one of the reasons I want this to be completely self-contained, so I can see exactly how much I made on Steam and hopefully reap the benefits of the value increase over time. I really wish my voice to text would spell steam right haha
Very wise decision... you'll gonna be rich when time comes.
Great info! btw I FOLLOW YOU NOW, WANNA FOLLOW ME BACK? I POST ALL SORT OF STUFF! CHEERS
Thank you for the comment. Followed back. Expecting to see more of your posts so I can upvote.
Thanks bro! :) For sure, you will!
Great and very useful article Thank you
