I think you are confused.  MG doesn't translate, accept, or pay BTC.  They never have.  

hummmm

Let me try to be more specific.

I have  X amount of  BCTs  and  I want to  convert them to Cash.

Is there any way to do that  and get the cash through  WU and/or MG?


Regards



 

Wouldn't the easiest way be to create an account with one of the more reputable exchanges that has USD as one part of their trading pairs and also allows you to withdraw fiat currency, and then make the trade there. Many of the bigger exchanges (BitMEX, Binance, KuCoin, Poloniex etc., do NOT offer that opportunity). Many of them, however, offer trading pairs in USDT (Tether), but that is not a fiat currency. Some who DO offer that opportunity (and that are also very well renowned, so that you don’t have to worry about loosing any money) are the following:

Changelly (https://changelly.com/?ref_id=8f779afee215); and

EXMO (https://exmo.com/?ref=1103357)

If you want cash literally in hand (paper bills), then you would as the last step have to withdraw it from the bank the cryptocurrency proceeds have been deposited to from the exchange.

Hope this helps and please let me know should you have any follow-up questions!

All the best,

Depends entirely where you are (within the USA) and also who you know, perhaps ask around if anyone wants to buy some BTC from you, this is often my first port of call.. otherwise can put in an exchange like coinbase and cashout, sell on localbtc.. virwox like someone also mentioned - you can sell in marketplace on here if you like, but read the rules and be diligent.

The best way to buy and sell Bitcoins is through the exchanges. There is no chance of hassling of money if you buy money from a reputed exchange. The most populars are Coinbase, Bittrex, Coinmama, Bitpanda, Kraken, LocalBitcoins, etc. You can compare their attributes and features.

Sell them through MoneyGram, it's like Western Union except the fee's are 10x less. That or bank transfer/wire would probably be the fastest ways to get cash in your hand. Any place with large amounts of feedback will be safe to use though.

MG is generally cheaper than Western Union but saying the fees at 10x less is kinda  stretch.

WU fee to wire $1,000 USD (US to US) - $95 (9.5%)
MG fee to wire $1,000 USD (US to US) - $78 (7.8%)

Either one is a very expensive way to send funds.

Yes,  It is expensive but  I know a couple of persons that owns MG offices.

I would like to know how it works,  in order to recreate the service and get a better prices.

I need how MG  translate BTCs to USD.  Can you tell me how they do that?

Kind Regards

I'd only trust a reputable vendor to send in cash for BTC, I'm sure there's some on silk road out there.

I'm a vendor on Silk Road and the best way I've found means taking a risk. There are vendors (like me) who have tons of btc, and then there are customers who have cash and want btc so they can buy stuff on Silk Road.

We trade. They send me cash, I email the coin. We don't know each other, so the potential for getting ripped off is there. But so far it's worked. And worked way better than CampBX, which is ripping me off for $11,000 (I just started a thread about the fun time I've been having with CampBX).

One really easy way is to look for someone local that will buy them.  I have someone here local to where I live with a very similar last name to your handle.  I met him at the Bitcoin Users group.  It was just him, until I joined. 

Check for a users group, or use https://localbitcoins.com.  Once you have an established relationship trading BTC for USD is easy.

That's just one suggestion.

There is an exchange named VirWox, https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/VirWoX  I have used it to exchange Second Life Lindens and USD.  It also exchanges BitCoins.
