Hey @mineopoly! I use blocktrades a lot myself, but I do have an issue with how high their fees are, some of my transactions end up getting taxed with a fee of $40+!!!
I would also love a Steem to fiat exchange, that would be an absolute game-changer. It's all right, I ended up getting my money in the end, but it was a grueling process and the support team did a terrible job handling the situation.
Ouch... Glad it worked out in the end. I did trade about 50 dollars in litecoin yesterday and fees were small. I paid 10 steem for that litecoin a month ago and got 14 steem back today. It is a small thing but I'm happy with Steem.
