Dan shoulda done it.


50 Cent: 'I Forgot' Taking 700 Bitcoins For 2014 Album; Stake Is Now Worth Millions
When 50 Cent agreed to accept bitcoin for purchases of his 2014 album, Animal Ambition, a unit of the cryptocurrency was already worth hundreds of dollars — but the value of those sales has since skyrocketed and the rapper's bitcoin holding is now reportedly worth more than $7.5 million.
Account abandoned.

Does anyone know of anybody who has actually been able to convert their Bitcoin holdings back to dollars?

Yes there are multiple ways depending on how you plan to do taxes or not. Using Coinbase for millions takes a very long time though. Some countries won't allow bank account wires from crypto exchanges.

Germany's tax rate is phenomenal. Something like close to 60% all said and done.

I remember asking about what was up with Bitcoin back in the day. Dan said Ben and him looked into it and it was a nothing burger.

What exchange was that? From what I’ve heard, they only let you dribble it out, pyramid scheme-like.

Coinbase.

All transactions I have ever done were <$999, and any transactions I have done were prior to BitCoin $10,000 so I'm not sure if things have changed.

There was a delay in turning Cash from a Bank into BitCoin (a couple days originally, with an established account it was a few minutes), but BitCoin to cash has always only been a few minutes.

Fiat to ETH is instant on Coinbase bow. Transferring it to an exchange takes about 10 minutes for me on average.

The other way around well I haven't cashed any out yet but I heard the limit to bank wires is 10k a week or something. I think if you verify on other exchanges you can do more.
