Several websites will pay you in Bitcoin if you watch an ad or click on a link to a particular page containing ads. Bear in mind, to make any significant money is still very hard work and a tedious task. If you’re immune to that, these sites are an excellent way for you to earn a quick buck.
Cryptocurrency exchanges, cloud services, exchangers, payment systems are all engaged into a huge network, called the Cryptocurrency Universe. Applications and wallets, bank cards, accounts of the digital networks, like WebMoney or Perfect Money, all of them make up a system of depositing, exchanging and withdrawing the money. From this review, you will learn how all market participants interact, how to withdraw Bitcoin from the wallet, and if there are any alternatives to the exchanges and wallets.
Cryptocurrencies are getting more and more popular as a trading instrument, and there are appearing more and more mediators in the crypto market. The difficulty in the interaction between all market participants is that there are no common rules and no common standard. Each crypto exchange works only with certain payment systems; each exchanger supports only a certain set of cryptocurrencies. The way of depositing and withdrawing the money can sometimes be so complex that investors lose much money due to the commission fees, to say the least. There is no standard scheme how to withdraw Bitcoin from a wallet or an exchange account, because the rules in the crypto exchanges are changing all the time: new schemes are appearing, the commissions are changing, and so on. I’m going to suggest a general manual how to withdraw Bitcoin to the bank card; you are welcome to enrich and extend it in the comments.
It can seem that it is more reasonable to describe the way of depositing money, rather than withdrawing it. Before you cash out your cryptocurrency to Fiat, it should be somehow deposited into your trading account. And so, it is the easiest to withdraw it in the same way as you deposited it. But, in fact, it is not that simple. First, it is far easier to deposit the money than to withdraw it. For example, you can transfer a payment of almost any appointment from your credit card, but you can’t receive it. Second, the cryptocurrency may be added to the wallet as a result of mining. That is, there hasn’t been the account depositing, in fact.
First, I’ll describe a general scheme of the relationships between all crypto market participants. There are two ways of storing your coins:
How you can withdraw Bitcoins:
Blockchain (Bitcoin Wallet) is a Bitcoin wallet, proved by time, that allows storing Bitcoins outside the exchange, on your desktop or a mobile gadget. The first step is creating the wallet:
You now have the wallet. I’ll describe how to transfer your Bitcoins to the Blockchain wallet on the Exmo example:
Exmo and other exchanges also provide withdrawing the money to digital wallets or directly to a cash card. For example, before you transfer Bitcoins to the bank card, you need to exchange them into U.S. dollars or the currency you need; next, you choose the withdraw method, Visa/MasterCard, and enter the card information. After the transaction has been formed, you’ll receive the confirmation email. The money will be transferred to your card in the period from a few hours to three days since the confirmation.
You can cash out cryptocurrency from the cold wallet with any e-currency exchanger; there are a few hundreds of them. That matter is how to avoid scammers and reduce commission costs. I suggest you use the monitoring website bestchange.com. It provides a list of reliable exchangers with the comments by real investors.
How you withdraw BTC to the card:
The transaction speed is different. A fast or instant transaction is considered to be within 10-15 minutes; but it may take a few days. By the way, this monitoring provides withdrawing money through exchangers directly from EXMO, avoiding wallets.
The most common E-wallets are: WebMoney, Qiwi, Perfect Money. You transfer cryptocurrency to e-wallets in the same way as to cold wallets or cards. The differences are whether you need verification at the moment of withdrawing or not, the commission amount and whether an exchange (or exchanger) provides it. The same is with cash cards. On the website of an exchange or exchanger, you select the corresponding option and enter the banking information.
Conclusion. All these methods are quite easy. When you have just learnt about the schemes of the money transfers, you may be confused; but exchanges, exchangers and wallets provide a clear interface, simple, intuitive navigation and instructions for converting. And the general scheme of cryptocurrency withdrawing has been described in the article. But there are still some difficulties, you will sort out after some practice:
1. The more mediators are in the network the higher the risk is to lose your money:
2. The more there are mediators, the more commission fees are. Wallets, exchanges and exchangers work with a certain number of partners. For example, to transfer the money to the card, you may need a chain, like “Exchange- Exchanger A - Exchanger B”. There is often a problem of not how to withdraw Bitcoins from a wallet, but how to do it with minimum risks and costs.
A far more convenient alternative is trading cryptocurrencies in Forex. Brokers usually provide over 12-15 methods to withdraw the money without any side intermediates. Even though, brokers don’t provide withdrawing real cryptocurrency to the wallet, this option is still more reliable and less costly, in terms of commission fees.
