Nowadays there are more ways to convert to fiat but still, no way around middlemen it seems, there always is a service around the corner waiting to Term of Service :D

I do have my reasons but it seems I will need to overcome them. Is dex an actual business or just short for decentralized exchange?

Bitshares dex has OPEN.BTC with mush smaller transaction fees. So if you convert SBD to BTC frequently, you can accumulate OPEN.BTC instead, and then withdraw them to BTC once. Of course needs comparing all prices with the ones you're currently using.

that, I do hope BTS find a way to freely convert into fiats, somehow ... otherwise its ERC20 and Visa cards :D

I probably should be using a decentralized exchange anyway, simply for security issues. But, I have studied many of the coins on bittrex and am able to make small but frequent profits on them. I don't want to have to spend months analyzing and observing new ones. Does BTS have any of the lower volume coins that bittrex has?

yeah but the volumes there fade in comparison, the market is pretty pumped tho, speaking of which what do you think of the bloody day we are having at the moment :D
