Here's a step by step guide for steemit newbies who are unfamiliar with cryptocurrency and prefer to just get the cash in their hands and spend it!

You will need

• a $teem Dollar exchange account eg. Bittrex
• a Ƀitcoin exchange account eg. Kraken

$tep 1

Check the price of the $teem Dollar

If the BID (circled red in the image) is less than $0.9500 it might be worth waiting for the price to go back up before you exchange.
