Ayden Myers
just go to coinbase link you bank account and sell them cash will go directly to your account it's that easy
Luke Flores
I looked up coinbase already. are they really safe?
Thomas Reyes
Make a coinbase account, transfer btc to coinbase btc wallet. Sell btc for fiat. Done. 1PJtxw9ote1nFGycaL3BCyZSVoakyxifVx
Jackson Lee
literally the safest. send small amounts to your account like 5 coins at a time just to be super safe
Luis Lopez
Alright Google coinbase, make an account and then verify it. Send your coins to the account and sell them there.
ez
any questions? 1HAYgTKw1C7mWNXNdwexuZtXgYXBJ5xhGP
Matthew Ward
You'll need to provide id, but they're generally good been around for years now
Jonathan Rogers
Everyone here is memeing you and just being stupid. Here's real advice: sign up for coinbase, poloniex and some other exchanges. Do the verification steps so your limit goes up. This will take a few days. I'm sure youll get to 25k USD withdrawal.
Then you'll need to 'fund' your accounts. Just google how to do it on the site interface (basically find the wallet address and send it). You're welcome. If you send some btc to each exchange you can cash out faster.
I'll post my address if you choose me
Christian Lee
you can use various methods I would recommend either HODL but if you want to cash out some places will require your banking info like coinbase and poloniex.
Here is a quick list
coinbase poloniex localbitcoins kraken bitmex yobit bitsquare and the list continues.
you can look into another option.
They have tons of BTC to debit card options one that people recommend is Swift from coin base
anyways here is

If you feel like honoring the original bounty posted.
William Long
Don't convert into USD just yet, bro. Keep the BTC for at least 3 more years and you'll cash out as a millionaire.
Adrian Bell
they are safe man use them all the time but kraken is also safe and has lower exhange ratio, you will save money again my email. is [email protected]
Sebastian Wright
Kek, I don't know much about how markets work, but I would bet money on BTC being worth less than a grand by 2020
Brody Wood
OP, I've signed up for kraken and they haven't verified me yet it's been 2 months
Logan Miller
you should keep at least 10-20 coins on the hope that theyre worth millions one day, im sure you wont miss it cashing out over 100k anyway.
Landon Collins
Nice man, just bought 100k
Mason Wood
Honestly depends where you live, if you're in Canada go with QuadrigaCX
Jeremiah Carter
USA
Dominic Murphy
It's almost certain that the price is going to be much higher in a couple year's time. I'd HODL on to those beautiful BTCs.
Wyatt Williams
Another thing: pay your brother a bit!!
Connor Ramirez
I wouldn't try coinbase, pretty shit service from what I've seen, you're better off with Kraken and quadriga but they take a while to verify (tis worth it).

Jeremiah Bailey
He owes his brother 120btc, OP is a little shit.
Parker Brown
Why the heck do you even want to cash out? HODL you numnutt
Benjamin Campbell
>things that never happened
Carson Cook
The true thing is, you stole these from your brother, fucking asswipe.
Samuel Gutierrez
It's your brother's.
James Cooper
Btw my address is 1KzrauXZTxevWUjaUbJ3UNRWjCbJLtocPm
Hopefully this isn't a larp. Follow my advice and you'll cash out quicker than any of the other suggestions.

Sign up for an account with Coinbase, verify your identification. Then it's easy to sell Bitcoin to USD once you link your bank account. Be very careful to make sure you get every number right, double and triple check it or that money is gone forever
Dominic Long
You guys are all missing the part where he says >pay him 50 dollars back OP bought them.
Austin Collins
He will have to do it slowly of course, get verified and even then its 15k a week limit.
Thomas Ramirez
OP please don't cash out, just HODL your bitcoins till 2025, sell 5-10% of your stash that when you really need it. you should take your time to get into cryptos though, put 25% of your BTC into altcoins and see where it goes.
I'll hand hold a bit because the more Veeky Forums autists that go on to become the next generation of wealthy elites the more hilarious it will be. >set up a coinbase account as it is the most retard proof way to get your first coins >buy a chunk of LTC and a chunk of ETH You could stop right there and call it good if you wanted to, coinbase likely isn't going anywhere and you could cash out (don't. just don't) through them whenever you felt like. Better though if you: >google BTC and ETH wallets and set them/it up >get your coins out of coinbase and onto the wallet/s >for big returns pick up as much LTC as you're willing to gamble with >setup an account with Kraken, Poloniex, and/or Bittrex I recommend Bittrex. >send LTC to that exchange and convert it to BTC or ETH >go to coinmarketcap and start researching coins listed on your exchange, each coin listing has links to the coin's websites and blockfolio threads >do your due diligence before you put money into any coin >download Blockfolio and input any purchases you've made >obsessively refresh it every 1-5 minutes for the rest of your life This should get you started. If you want to fuck around with day trading that's a whole other thing you'll have to look into on your own. Buying good coins, the ones that are not memes and HODLing them for a year is easier. Hope that helps. See you in lambland.
2/x, because I'm am having fun here. read this carefuly, OP
Rumor has it that this man created Bitcoin; his street name is “Satoshi Nakamoto”
In 2008, Mr. Nakamoto was sniffing coke off a stripper’s ass and getting high in the strip club. But then the 2008 subprime market crash happened in the USA, which led to a world wide depression.
(What is the subprime market crash? Because bankers being greedy hooked nose crooks. The bankers scammed people and then, in turn, the government bailed them out. What the fuck?)
Mr. Nakamoto said: “These fucking hooked nose bankers, I’ll create my own digital cash, I don’t give a fuck!”
So he created bitcoin. What makes bitcoin unique is the blockchain. With blockchains, you cannot “double spend”. Meaning, you have 1 bitcoin, you can send it to someone … and your bitcoin is gone; you cannot have 1 bitcoin and send 10 bitcoins to friends. Why? Because of the blockchain, which is like a record book that cannot be changed.
How is the block chain (record book) kept? Because computers keeps updating the book. But running computers to update the blockchain cost money, so Mr. Nakamoto, in his infinite wisdom, gives free bitcoins to the owners of the computer owners every 10 minutes. Because bitcoin has value, the computer owners will continue to run the computers so the record book (blockchains) stay updated.
Interesting, huh? There's more.
Charles Robinson
No, he "bought" an original undisclosed amount, the brother clearly then purchased more which OP didn't "buy".
And that's not how buy things work anyway
Lol
Ayden Hughes
it's a LARP. sorry faggots. I can tell.
Dominic Price
While that guy was named Satoshi Nakamoto, he turned out to just be some near-retired engineer in poor health. He literally lacked the technical knowledge to develop anything like bitcoin. The community got together and gave him a ton of BTC (something like 50k worth at the time) as a "sorry, we fucked up". I wonder what happened to that guy.
Bitcoin, no one really knows who Nakamoto is or was. From code analysis, some think it was done by a state level group at this time. Odd decisions in retrospect, like choosing a lesser known AES256 encryption algorithm compared to one in more common use at the time, that turned out to contain a NSA backdoor, years after the fact.
That said, Bitcoin type systems are probably the future of the world financial system. BTC is falling to the same problems of many open source programs, too many leaders and not enough followers. (Look at the segwit problem), and while it's likely it'll go much much higher, extreme long term (like, 10-20 years) I see it getting eclipsed by another crypto.
Julian Watson
If I were you I would keep these BTC safe for a few years more. The value should grow even more. After that, I would buy some gold with BTC because it doesn't have taxes, and I would keep it for an emergency (this gold could increase its value too).
I'm outside right now, I will post my address later, but if you want some solid money and a comfy life, listen to me.
Adam Jones
Thanks for the btc man. Glad I could help, but don't forget to listen to these other anons and repay your brother.
Jack Nguyen
1. Sign up in Coinbase.com 2. Verificate your account. Put your credit card, id etc.. (coinbase.com/verifications) 3. Wait until verified. 4. Go to accounts, select your BTC wallet. Click recieve adress. Copy it. 5. Go to your local wallet, paste the code and send. 6. Wait unitl the BTC gois into your coinbase account. 7. Go to coinbase.com/sell 8. Sell and enjoy.
Here you go, a guide even for the slowest one.

another option would be, if you use poloniex or another exchange which uses tether usd, u can sell your btc for usd tether, then go to tether to, sign up there, link your bankaccount and withdrawal this way. but you have to go verification too there and you need to up your withdrawal limits on polo/every other exchange. it will take some time to do this. fee on tether is 20$ per transaction. 12Zn5mPHbyc1xdNQmR2n8WfsF14w4HPgC9

Where did you get this info from? Sounds like story but intersting...
Parker Hughes
OP, when you HODL you bitcoins, you should learn how to do it poperly and not fuck up and lose them. Do NOT cash them all out, if you need a boost, just use 10% of your stash. HODL them till 2025. Here's a way to do it right:
Get yourself a new pc And a new trezor or a ledger. Google this shit. Get a simple version of Linux, mint, Komodo or ubuntu Select encrypted hard drive option with a password that's at least 20 characters but memorable Install security updates Download gpg Set up a new protonmail account Generate a new gpg password something around 20 characters but memorable Download the wallets you like for the coins you want Encrypt Back ups of the wallets offline onto a new USB, along with the gpg key ring data, also private keys, 2fa restoration data etc. This stays in a safe place and doesn't get used for anything else ever. Keep the public keys for wallets receive addresses on a file somewhere on your desktop Get a nice wallet like exodus that you can use as a staging point between your cold storage and exchanges Again you want to backup all your private keys onto your USB) Don't browse the web or receive any emails on this computer. Set up 2fa on all the exchanges. You are not completely untouchable now but are well protected.

Those are your brother's Bitcoins dude. You'd probably get a finder's fee if you return it. Don't fuck over blood.

I do not have bitcoin as I came in the scene late. I've got bitbean though.

Coinbase is the safest,
Register and go through identification.
Deposit small amounts at a time,
And withdraw to your bank account (verify that also)
Last step, help out a fellow biz bro 12tr6BrHXfvtWdTPTTraYwHHrXWfaZiuYi

What's your country, OP? There are exchanges that do wiretransfer. You could search for them. And yes, you can Tell the truth to govmen, here in my country they even made bitcoin taxfree because If it.
