How does one covert BITCOIN to $USD$ here in America?

Visiting https://bitpay.com is how.
They have a simple fee of $9.95 for a personal card. Which I am using right now. They allow ACH transactions but with the limit of $25,000 on the card in total along with limit, of uploading $1000 of Bitcoin a day. With that aside, it is good knowing all my money can be used with one card. Plus when you upload bitcoin to the card they give you a little bit more cash than the value sometimes, which is a good perk. If you are ever in the Las Vegas area let us know on any comments below!!! We have an office up & ready to roll that is revolved around cryptocurrency!
**Note: If you want to convert STEEMIT, SBD or any other alt-coins to Bitcoin I suggest using https://shapeshift.io or www.bittrex.com
