Just bought 20K worth of STEEM, but can't figure out how to power it up! Please help..

in #steem8 years ago

I converted 20K USD worth of bitcoin to STEEM. I have those STEEM in an exchange (BITTREX). I want to power up those 8000-ish steem but not sure how to get them into the wallet here on steemit.com in order to power them up. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I'm up all night! GO STEEM!

Sort:  

Click on the circle shaped account icon at top right of your screen. Select wallet. Tap the down arrow to the right of Steem Power. Select Deposit. Send bitcoin to the address shown on your screen. Wait a few mins. Check your wallet balance again. Presto.

Thanks for your response. I don't wish to send bitcoin. I've already purchased STEEM tokens with bitcoin. I have 20K worth of STEEM that I want to power up. Does that help clarify the question? Thanks!

Ahh. I'm not sure then. Sorry.

From your BitTrex wallet send your steem to your account: str11ngfello
From steemit.com Click your profile in top right
click wallet
click the arrow next to your steem balance
click Power Up

This worked great. Thank you. I didn't realize the account address was simply 'stringfello'.

Congrats! you just sent 15 Steem! Welcome on Steem!

you will be better to trade steem when it reaches 10 dollar in a week....

I thought about that too actually. Would still love to know how to power up some of it. Thanks!

I'm in debt a little over the equivalent of $20k USD for reasons beyond my controll. With the amount of money I'm qualified to earn, and my current financial obligations, interest, etc. It'll be about 15 years of very hard work doing stuff I don't want to do to just break even. You have that much money you can just dump into this. Well see you in 15 years when I once again have a positive net worth/worked my @$$ off, while you today can just dump that much money into this without really worrying about it. Life is sad.

Oh dude, I've worked my butt off for that bitcoin.. I invest every single penny I earn after bills every month in bitcoin. I'm not rich, just believe in cryptocurrency!

Then how do I got from >$20,000 debt with no cash, assets or anything into making soo much crypto currency that I am able to just dump $20,000 into something like this, so I don't have to work myself to de*th for the next 15 years all for nothing, and having wasted 15 years of my life I could be doing something else?

Figure out how to create valuable content here on steem. :)

Lets hope so s:

Something about that just seems a little unlikely...

Planning, hardwork and a lot of sacrificing.

Write everything down and create a budget.
Try and minimise your top expenses, possibly move back in with parents for a set duration.
Always look for a better paying job. Speaking of which i better get back to mine 😉

Maybe you don't think you're rich, but if I had $20,000 let alone that much to invest in anything double-let alone this, I would feel beyond rich compared to what I have no choice but to live through. Imagine if you had to work in a -25 degree freezer pressured to move boxes around as fast as possible overnight, every night for 15 years to get that much spare money, because it is by far the highest paying job you are qualified to do by a long shot.... But no, that's what I have to do, you just click a few things on the computer sit back and have that money roll in. I've been desperately trying everything for the last 9 years, and reaching out to all possible alternatives and help in every way, and it's just impossible. You need money to make money, and I know that isn't 100% true, but it essentially is. People who already have money throw that much around with barely even having to think about it, while the majority of people have to work really f'n hard to barely make anything compared to the ones who already have money have to just throw around like that. I have no choice but to slave my life away to a terrible 40 hour/week situation while you just can click a button and dump all that money into this, just to increase your bank account in the end. If I had $20,000 to spare I would be very careful with it, unless you have WAAAY more than $20,000 to spare, in which case, yes you are "rich"

My man, instead of feeling down in the dumps, start laying out a game plan. How can I create value here on Steem? What can I cut back on in my life and instead invest in cryptos? Cigarettes, drinking, candy, new clothes, TV package, cell phone with all the extras? Being 'rich' isn't something most people are born with (yes, some are), it's a result of many decisions they made throughout their life. So now is the time to start feeling sorry for oneself and get going on the first day of the rest of you're life.
