How To Cash Out Bitcoin With Bitspark Mobile App

If you own Bitcoin and think now is the right time to cash out Bitcoin, this article explains how to convert BTC to cash straight from the Bitspark app.

Why Cash out Bitcoin?

The reasons for cashing out Bitcoin can vary a lot from person to person. The most likely reason, however, is that you bought Bitcoin at the right time, and have made some profits that you’re willing to cash out and spend. Of course, you could spend Bitcoin too, but the options are more limited compared to where and how you can spend cash.

If the only reason you want to cash out Bitcoin is to protect yourself from a declining market only to buy back in at a lower price, then cashing out is not your only option. You can achieve the same buy exchanging Bitcoin to any of the local currency stablecoins available on the mobile app.

Spread your BTC across any combination of USD, CNY, SGD, PHP, AUD, EUR, GBP or HKD stablecoins and exchange back to Bitcoin whenever the market reaches your price point.

Cashing out your BTC from the app is a simple process and only takes a few steps. To illustrate how this works, below are the 3 steps to cashing out Bitcoin to HKD cash.
