I'm afraid I don't. I haven't actually cashed out any of my earnings into a currency I can use outside of Steemit yet. Though I will be doing so fairly soon, because we really need the money.
But @cryptowallet and @marketreport are really great people to follow for accurate cryptocurrency information. Well, accurate as far as I can tell. I'm still just barely getting my feet wet in the cryptocurrency world.
i believe the route most people take to buy steem with actual money is to acquire bit coin, then trade for steem with that, over one of the trading zones. Never did any of that either.
Etherium also seems to be an equally used cryptocurrency for it.
cool. I will try a trade soon enough to see how it really works soon enough.
