The fastest way to turn into cold hard cash would be to offer the coin at a discount for an in-person exchange. Considering the current price, I would think the discount would have to be significant for someone to travel to Ohio (maybe get lucky and find someone local) for an in person cash buy. You mentioned counterfeit...well if you want cash, that is certainly a risk (Bitcoin fixes this

. Maybe meet at a bank and have it wired to your account while you are there together? Maybe someone else has a better suggestion? I'll officially offer you $40k for it and be there in 1 day?
The second fastest way to turn into cash would be to peel the coin and send to your preferred crypto exchange and convert to dollars there. Then withdraw the dollars to your connected bank account. This will take 1-3 days at best if you are setup properly. It doesn't sound like you even have an exchange setup yet tho, so it could take longer. You will likely have some sort of withdrawal limits placed on a new account. If you decide to peel, here is a good write-up from Krogoth...

And you would still have BTC to convert to cash afterwards, so you might want to get that process started and open a crypto exchange account that you can link your bank account to. If you don't have one already that is.

I will probably go ahead and get the process rolling for setting up an exchange account in case I cannot find a buyer. Is there one that is better than others for liquidating BTC? Last time I listed it for sale, I had a few people message me, one tried to scam me, and nobody ended up buying it.
