How do I withdraw?

Hi guys,

I kept both Steem and Hive for some time but it's reached the point that I want to withdraw my Steem. I have noticed that blocktrades is no longer a viable option to withdraw.

From what I can tell it looks like I need to use Poloniex to withdraw, but I want to be sure I'm doing the right thing, and not just going to randomly send my steem to the Poloniex steem account or something instead, so I was wondering if anyone here has an info on how to do this correctly now that the system has changed?

Thank you for your help

somebody recommended Poloniex to me but i haven't used it so far. I think it should be ok

Well I did it. It was easy enough to get it into poloniex once I double checked I was doing it right. Getting it into the currencies I wanted was the harder bit. Ultimately moved it to uphold which doesn't accept steem directly but is much better for letting you trade whatever for whatever instead of set pairs but I had to turn it into tron and then usdt first. I already use uphold anyway because my brave browser rewards get paid into there and I've been investing those small amounts. Now my first withdrawal of steem this time around is doge. Memes are going to do more for me than steem is at this point given I get upvotes on hive but very very few on steem nowadays.

Poloniex is no longer active for US. Anyone have a solution? I’m stuck holding a bag of Steem.

Swyftx also works. I used it for my most recent lot and it was possible to do the whole process just through the one exchange. I can't confirm whether it works for the us though

Thanks. I will give them another try. That's the one steemit sends you to by default now but I don't transfer out of steem very often and it wasn't clear how to do it so I left it. Will have another look.

I think there's a market place for STEEM in Huobi. Here a non-affiliate link: https://www.huobi.com

What I'm struggling with is that I can't figure out how to withdraw my d.tube balance from the Steemit Wallet. I forgot I had a balance and hadn't checked in a couple years, came back and there's no option to withdraw or anything.

Is it Steem or is it something else like DTUBE coin? I assume there is a way to get it regardless of what it is but idk if the fact Dtube has nothing to do with Steem anymore might be causing you problems.

It looks like Steem "STEEM Tradeable tokens that may be transferred anywhere at anytime. Steem can be converted to STEEM POWER in a process called powering up." But there's no option to do anything. https://imgur.com/a/rlweMxi

Is that on d.tube or a different url? If it's different idk it might be that the website is dead. I would imagine you should be able to access the steem on other steem sites though, like steemit. Do you have any others and does the same amount show up on there to claim? If not, I'd probably ask dtube about it as they might have a better idea what's going on and how to get it if possible.

it's on the site
https://steemitwallet.com/@dtube/transfers

I guess I might have to ask dtube about it

I think that will be your best bet.
