How do you pull money out of bitcoin as US dollars?

Buy cocaine on the darknet, exchange the cocaine for USD locally.

localbitcoins.com is considered the quickest/simplest.

Well, since you didn't why not make some investments today? You never know how they might pay off.

I've always thought about this, but I wouldn't know what to invest in, and with my luck I'd lose a whole bunch of money, lol :P 

A stock that I like (and own) that you can own with pretty low risk is Brookfield Renewable Partners. They own a lot of hydroelectric plants and some wind and solar stuff as well. Over the course of a year they pay out a dividend that has a yield of about 6% (paid out quarterly), meaning that they pay out 6% of the stock price per year. Now, sure, you can never be guaranteed that things will continue that way, but imo, electricity is a pretty safe bet as a "commodity" that will be in high demand for the foreseeable future.

It is a good buy if you prefer to start with something safer.

Same thing would apply if you bought Microsoft or Apple stocks back in the day.

5000 BTC was worth $27 8 years ago. It's worth nearly $15M now. Neither Apple or MS delivered those returns.

I'd rather memorise lottery numbers for a big rollover, go back in time to get a ticket for that and win £100m. Lower investment needed, much higher returns and you don't have to wait 7 years to become rich...

Week 1 - Win £10m on lottery

Week 2 - Spend £10m on £10 guaranteed (3 numbers) tickets = 100m

Week 3 - Spend £100m on £10 tickets = 1Bn

Either go big or don't bother travelling through time.

So is Bitcoin a thing again? Doesn't seem so long ago that people were laughing at the people who invested in it...

You need to get out of your cave and get up to date with the world right now. Ethereum was also worth nothing a few years ago and now 1 eth is over $250 (b (btc is worth 10 times 1 eth right now)



ha, yeah getting your hands on bitcoin in 2010 and having the foresight or luck to hang on to them until today, or even better yet hang on to them for another 5 years and wait for them each to be worth a few tens of thousands of dollars. yeah that coulda made you tens if not hundred of millions.

But why not just invest now? Sure you have to put up more capital and won't get nearly as rich, but Bitcoin is still a baby, wait 5 to 10 years and you'll probably 20x to 50x your initial investment. Unless in the mid-2020's you want to come on here again saying how you wish you invested in bitcoin back in 2017 when it was only a couple thousand dollars a coin, regretting it all over again.
