Phil,
I'm still a newbie. So viabtc > auto widthdrawall to say coinbase, then convert to btc, then to your personal wallet?
close.
Lets say I get 1 eth. takes me what ever. It goes direct to Coinbase.
say it was 1 eth = 1200 usd. sell 1/2 for cash. convert 1/2 to btc.
say 600usd + 600usd worth of btc.
withdraw 400 usd to bank for bills.
hodl the 600usd in btc at coinbase. if there is a strong rise in btc price sell a bit of it.
So I almost never have eth on hand. Other then when it builds up at viabtc.
There is a quasi short hodl of eth as it takes a while to earn the 1 eth.
