How to Sell Bitcoin in Australia? A Simple Guide

Whether you’re an active crypto day-trader or a holder, at some point you’re bound to cash out and sell your Bitcoins (BTC) for profit. For those wondering how to sell Bitcoin in Australia, we’ve got you covered here at Easy Crypto.

You can sell Bitcoin to literally anyone

As Bitcoin is a type of decentralised currency, theoretically you can pretty much sell your Bitcoin to anyone on the Internet in exchange for cash in Aussie dollar. 

The thing is, Bitcoin is still limited in terms of smart contract functionality, meaning that you can’t have an automated selling mechanism on the Bitcoin blockchain in the same way you would have on Ethereum.

So, trust is still going to be a big issue. 

While there are many overseas exchanges to choose from, you can’t guarantee that they follow Australian regulations nor can you guarantee that they offer the most competitive BTC/AUD exchange rates.

If you are reading this, it is likely that you are familiar with other blog posts online explaining how to sell Bitcoin in Australia. However, many how-to articles online only explain how to sell Bitcoin at overseas exchanges.

Blogs promote overseas exchanges because they make substantial affiliate marketing revenue in the process. However, following their advice can leave you out of pocket.

• Hundreds of Australians lose money every day by selling Bitcoin overseas.
• Many fall victim to scams on peer-to-peer exchanges that see people buying Bitcoin later reverse payments.
• Other Australians fall victim to exchanges that freeze the accounts of international users as a result of obscure security concerns.

Q: Can I cash out to my partners Australian account?

A: Contact Easy Crypto via email to discuss this.

Q: Why is the sell price higher than the buy price?

A: Selling Bitcoin in Australia (and across the world) always follows the same principle, that is there is a buying and selling market. Buyers will set a buying price and sellers a selling price. To buy, your buying price must match the sellers price. The difference between these two prices is called ‘the spread’. So in order to sell instantly, you must lower your sell price down to the buy price to match up with a buyer. Once this occurs your order immediately processes. This is all done by the exchange automatically and you don’t have to worry about it.
