This is great info, @ura-soul. I kind of had to learn how to convert to USD on my own, but I think I'm going to try this to circumvent the fees as well.
I started out sending my SBD to Bittrex, but had problems connecting my bank account to them. I had to then transfer to Coinbase losing fees from both transactions.
I recently figured out that I could send directly to Coinbase using Blocktrades. I thought I was doing well to figure out that much, but I think this info will help even better. Resteemed!
Thanks! You are welcome!
My last transaction was to Bittrex and then on to Uphold. I don't know anyone with direct experience of using Uphold in the US region, but I think it should be just fine.
Welp, I'll give it a try and see what happens. shrug
