You might be able to find someone willing to give you cash for BTC at Pubkey, a bitcoin themed bar in NYC.

This is what I tried doing on a Saturday night. But nobody really knew what bitcoin was. I was the only one paying with bitcoin.

As people came to the bar or sat next to me, I made small talk and asked if they knew much about crypto, but most didn't even know they were in a "bitcoin bar." The bartender told me he only had a wallet because people wanted to tip him (the bitcoin payment method didn't give the option of a tip). When I asked him "what percentage of people pay in bitcoin" he got weaselly until admitting nobody really did except on thursdays, which were when most of the bitcoin enthusiast types came in.

There was a gathering of people in the back room and I asked someone if that was a meetup, but I was told it was a birthday party.

A man walked through playing bagpipes because it was "Robert Burns Night" which pissed off some of the girls with more sensitive ears who asked me and others to tell him to stop. But the bartender served free shortbread for the occasion.

Most people in the building were young professional corpo/finance types or had the new-right, serif-font david protein bar aesthetic.

I told some of them they were in a bitcoin bar, pointed to the price on the wall, and they said they didn't trust it or had a small position. Most said it was too volatile. A person said he was pissed for selling all his at $80k since he would have made more selling at $100k. Someone recommended I invest in VOO instead.

So next time I'm in new york I'll try to make it on a thursday :)

LOL. Damn man, we're still early if this is the attitude at f***ing Pubkey, where Trump did his bitcoin transaction.

Thanks for the report though. You should make an individual post about it, your story deserves more visibility!

You have some options:

Lnp2pbot on telegram, specify payment in Cash in NYC.
Go to an ATM, sell the BTC to the machine and withdrawal your cash.
Publish your sale offer on https://localsats.org/
Go to a BTC meetup, sell it P2P

The process of having less BTC and more USD is called "buying" not "selling".

BTC is money. The trade/barter where you have a <thing> more afterwards and less money afterwards is called buying.
