For realizing the profits one needs to sell BTC in exchange for fiat/cash as acceptable in their native countries.

Hence, I think it is apt to talk about the questions that come to mind while selling Bitcoins for cash.

How To Turn Bitcoin Into Cash?

There are some easy ways to convert BTC into USD, INR, EUR, or GBP, some of which are listed below.

However, before you pick any of the listed methods, you need to find out how you want to receive your fiat. You can sell Bitcoins in person for cash or you can sell it on exchanges and get the money directly deposited into your bank account.

You also have the option to spend your Bitcoin to buy stuff from Amazon using services like Lolli or Bitrefill.

However, I assume for now you want to sell your Bitcoins and get hard cash in person or directly in your bank account.

1. Via Fiat Accepting Exchanges

The easiest way is to find out fiat accepting exchanges in your country. You can then sell them your Bitcoins in exchange for fiats like USD, EUR or GBP. Some of the exchanges that allow you to do so are listed below.

  • CoinMama-USD/EUR
  • Coinbase-USD/EUR
  • BitFlyer– USD/JPY
  • CoinSpot (Australia): AUD
  • WazirX(India Only)- Convert BTC to INR or USDT

I understand that all the above options might not work globally because the cash system varies from country to country.

For such sellers, there is another option of P2P selling/buying of Bitcoins via LocalBitcoins (aka LBC).

2. Via LocalBitcoins

LocalBitcoins is a Bitcoin start-up based out of Helsinki, Finland, which has been operating since 2012. It is a P2P Bitcoin exchange. It has on-ground buyers and sellers in more than 15,000 cities across 248 countries. Chances are, you will find a buyer in your country via LocalBitcoins.

The beauty of Localbitcoins is that you dealing with the buyer directly and you can receive money in any of the supported formats (bank deposit, PayPal, Payoneer, cash). When it comes to converting Bitcoin into fiat, Localbitcoins is one of the most preferred choices of those who don’t want to use an exchange.

You can meet buyers/sellers online and execute a trade offline. You can either pay in cash or wire the amount. You can also choose from various other options like PayPal or SEPA or direct bank deposits for converting Bitcoins into cash (USD, EUR, INR, JPY, CNY, AUD, Dinar, etc) [all depending on the buyer/seller].

You can simply filter your country based on the payment mode you want to choose. Just so you know, all the fees here are set by the seller while LocalBitcoins acts as an escrow manager.

3. Convert BTC Into USDT Like Digital Fiat

If you are not in a hurry of converting your BTC into the fiat currency of your country and also want to avoid your tax liabilities for some time, you can convert Bitcoin into USDT (Tether).

Using USDT has its benefits when compared to dealing in USD or EUR if you plan to buy Bitcoins later. Moving cash in and out of your bank account regularly makes you accountable and may add to your taxes.

Also, you need not worry about the volatility of cryptocurrencies when you switch to USDT because USDT always maintains parity with actual US dollars, hence maintaining its value of $1 per USDT always.

This will also reduce your headache of always transferring in fiat currencies to exchanges to buy Bitcoins because USDT can be used to buy Bitcoins later if you want.

And the good thing about USDT is that unlike many fiat exchanges, USDT is supported by many exchanges across the world. Some of these exchanges are listed below. I have used this feature of intermediate conversion to USDT myself.

USDT (Tether) Supported Exchanges:

  • Binance
  • Wazirx
  • Bitfinex
