Your experience was DITTO here. I transferred SBD to Bittrex today and then to Bitcoin. OMG! Now I am trying to figure out how to get to USD. I did sign up for coinbase at one time but they locked me out, I can't get back in and they do not respond. Any body else I can use??? Thanks in advance. This is amazing!!!
I am NOT the person to ask I'm afraid - all of my research has been based on trying to function within New York. I guess if you're in a different state or country, seeing as you now have btc, there are probably a wide variety of exchanges you can use to get to USD - but I would maybe ask around on steemit chat or minnowsupport discord chat.
