Once you reach the point of converting your BTC to USD, you have a few options that you should consider to maximize it:
Use www.localbitcoins.com and sell them for cash face-to-face at a premium (like 10-20 percent above market value!).
Use www.purse.io to purchase your laptop through Amazon. You can set your own discount level and have someone purchase the laptop for you! You can use this to EASILY get 15% off of the market price of the laptop on Amazon, or you can set it at like 25% or so and wait a few days, sometimes much less.
Hope that gives you some ideas! Best of luck.
good ideas to save money. Would another idea be to use a bitcoin visa card? Save on fees when converting to fiat wouldnt you?
Those cards usually carry hefty fees, unfortunately. The ways I listed are ways to get more than market price for bitcoin :-).
ok thanks
Never heard of purse.io gonna have to check that out.
Any opinion on bitpay cards?
