Welcome back, friend. Glad to see you here as always :)
My aim is that by the end of this video tutorial you will walk away knowing just a little bit more than you did before.
Today's topic is in regards to a unique service and website called SteemX which can be found at https://mysteemx.com. I found out about this service through a friend of mine named . Feel free to give him a follow cause he's a cool guy.
I'd like to show you 3 simple steps to exchanging your Steem or SBD for fiat (aka cash) without jumping through multiple hoops like you might be accustomed to doing.
Create a Wallet (minute marker 1:00)
Creating a wallet is as simple as filling out the form on the right-hand side of the page at https://mysteemx.com. Once you submit the form, you will be sent a confirmation email. Confirm the email and you are ready to use your wallet to send or receive Steem and SBD.
To add your PayPal account to SteemX, simply go to your dashboard and click on the withdraw tab towards the bottom of the page. From there you can click where it says "add new account" and then follow the instructions.
Send Steem or SBD (minute marker 2:14)
While viewing your dashboard screen, you can navigate down to the deposit tab which it should automatically default to. Since I recorded the video, they did update the user interface so it will look slightly different than my screen but the concept is still the same.
Click on the type of coin you would like to deposit whether that be Bitcoin, Steem, or SBD. When depositing Steem or SBD, you will see a unique memo key. Once you are in your Steemit.com wallet and inside the transfer box, you will insert that memo into the memo field.
Next, you will type "steemexchanger" without the quotes for the account you're sending to and also decide how much Steem or SBD you are sending. Hit "next" and confirm your transaction with your private key.
Lastly, you will go back to the SteemX site and click the box that says "I have made a transfer". SteemX normally takes a minute or two after you click that box for your Steem or SBD to show in your account.
Convert to Local Currency and Withdraw (minute marker 4:29)
Now you can click on the convert tab to convert your Steem or SBD to USD. Since I live in the US I am obviously going to convert it into my local currency. If you happen to live in a different country, you can still use SteemX as long as you have a PayPal account.
As soon as you hit "convert Steem to USD", your account will be credited with the amount you see in the USD field. After that, you can click on the withdraw tab and withdraw your converted USD to your PayPal account. Normally the withdraw to PayPal takes around 30 minutes or so to complete.
Note: The minimum withdraw amount from SteemX is $1.00. Also, PayPal does charge a fee for this transaction so be aware of that when you make your first withdraw. I recommend visiting the FAQ section of the SteemX site if you have any questions.
SteemX does have the ability to convert from fiat to Steem / SBD but I trust you can figure that out on your own now that you know how to navigate the site. If reading this did not do the trick, please take a look at the video above (or the link at the bottom of the post). If you already knew everything I just demonstrated...well then you are the man! (or woman lol)
