Sell Ethereum
How To Sell Ethereum (ETH)?
First of all, before selling ETH you need to make sure that you have them on your wallet. You can either use a cold storage or a hot storage. The cold storage is the one that is not connected to the Internet. This could be a piece of paper with a QR code on it. In this case, make sure you don’t configure the public and private key. The private key should be kept secret and never be disclosed to anyone. However, those pieces of paper look practically the same so it’s fairly easy to confuse between the two. Just be careful and read what’s written there. Next kind of the cold storage which is considered to be more popular is the hardware wallet.
There are only a few brands that currently produce those and thus, most investors and traders know them for sure. You can read online reviews or watch videos of unpacking to decide which brand and model you like the most. Hardware wallets can be a little more difficult to use by the beginners. As a rule, they have a mobile app which is suited specifically for them.
Alternatively, you can have Ethereum on your balance in an online exchange like CEX.IO. There are quite a few ways to deposit your ETH and then use the services that you need whether you’re planning to hold, trade, sell, request a loan, or maybe create a portfolio of stake-able coins and get some passive income over time.
