I sold a small amount of Moons last week. Easy fifteen step guide.

I sold some Moons last week and although I enjoyed relinquishing my funds and successfully completing the task; frankly, it was a bit of a headache.

So obviously I’m not recommending that everybody does this otherwise the Moons would crash. However, it was very important for me to know that I could actually successfully complete the transaction.

This was important for me as I don’t reside in America and wanted to know if it actually worked. I was also partly interested in the process and wanted to learn how to do this for future reference. (Yes, I know Moons will go up and it’s not worth the hassle).

So my first task was to Google how to transfer Moons with MEXC. (A Redditor in another thread told me that it was possible to convert with MEXC). I read up on that and then completed the following steps:

Signed up for MEXC (in my case MEXC global as I’m not a US resident). Quite a serious KYC. Write my name as Robert Bobby McBobson from Kentucky.

Set up the Arbitrum Nova network on my already linked Reddit to Vault/MetaMask/OpenSea account which I already have for avatars. Get ready to manually type in all of this information like a grandma who hasn’t ever used copy and paste.

As soon as I manually set up the network, the MOONS appeared. All 218 of them which was worth about 60 bucks.

Then I filled out the transfer information for receiving the Moons. It wasn’t that intuitive, so I had to Google that again. You click on MOONS after trying it into the search field and then it will offer you a receive option. The menus looked a lot better on desktop btw, on mobile you have to swipe a lot to get to see what you want.

Swapped Moons to USDT and then to BTC again as wanted to top up my BTC fund. I always prefer the network selection for BTC as it often seems vastly simpler than other networks.

Boom! Swapped the Moons for BTC. It’s basically legal tender in Ecuador now.

Crisis! Didn’t have quite enough for the transfer. Apparently, you need 0.002 BTC minimum. Topped up the account to an appropriate level after paper handing an avatar on OpenSea. D’oh!

Transfer the MATIC to USDT to BTC again. Decide to send 1 more MATIC again. Finally sent to Binance. Hurrah! Take some Ibuprofen/Tylenol/sixty dollar whiskey of choice.

Sent all of my BTC to my bank account to further paper hand all of my crypto funds.

Bought some STX with the perceived profit. STX goes up.

Lock STX for 30 days to get that precious 3.5%.

Unstake STX for liquidity, it doesn’t unstake in time and all gains have been lost.

Down -15%. Sell apartment and dog to recoup losses. At least I’ve sold all my moons! (and avatars).
