Ever since I read about bitshares and watched videos about how it works and it's importance, I haven't stopped using it.

Currently my top 3 cryptocurrency exchanges are bitshares, binance and bittrex. I've already written about binance on my blog and how to make money from it, but right now I want to teach how to convert steem to btc using bitshares and save $6.

Currently I use bitshares for converting steem and sbd to bitcoin because of

  1. It's decentralized nature
  2. I get 80% of all your transaction fees back
  3. It can also be used as a wallet.
  4. 50% referall bonus.

Using bitshares saves you more than $6 Because withdrawal fees on bitshares is currently 0.00001.. BTC = $0.09

Losing $5 or $6 to transaction fees might look like a small money but if you need $1000 in your savings account, you'll need be saving $5 for 200 times.

This is very very helpful... I wonder how long it took you to put this down for us.. Thanks a lot!

I just have to resteem for others to see!

I'll have to transfer my coins there!

Mehn it took me hours oh,but I had to do it to help answer those that have been asking me how I avoid paying $6 withdrawal FEES on bittrex

pretty impressive! I guess the only difference is the speed...I don't know ...how much time it takes to transfer? Is it the bigger the amount the slower the transfer?

I think Bitshares has the smallest fee ...don't know about Binance..

I know it takes hours ...sometimes days ..lol
good karma to you!

I meant it took me hours to put the post together

haha yes I understood you at first ! sometimes it takes me hours to post 1 picture hahaha.. sorry for not being clear ;)

So Bitshares transactions are fast?
I never tried but probably will after the fork if the steem price goes up..

OK no problem

Right on point bro. Thanks for the insight. Upvoted and resteemed.

Here you hit dear. Really I don't know much about bittrex, but now with this post i can be able to work with it. Thank for sharing

You're welcome sir

What about blocktrades? I never tried it myself, but I think it is the easiest way to convert SBDs to bitcoins or altcoins. Could be more expensive though.

I hardly use blocktrades for conversion

Interessing post . Thank you for sharing!
