RE: 12/16/18 How I Feel About Steem Price And What I Will Do About It.
I've been thinking about buying as little as $10 even. That's a considerable amount more steem than what I currently have, and I'll never miss the $10. My stumbling block is the actual buying process. I'm not entirely sure how to do it, and I don't want to do it wrong, so I still haven't bought any.
I have had problems with buying steem.
It is a pain in the ass to get fiat into crypto. And depending on what country you live in and then add in the exchange. Horrible
I use a debt card and send fiat into coinbase
Then move the fiat into coinbase pro
Then exchange the fiat into ether
Then transfer it to blocktrade for steem
I worrie the whole process.
Tell me how this is good business practices.
It’s insain
If coinbase gets steem that would make the whole process straight forward. Because the best way is to use an exchange that has steem.
Your 1st step is to open an exchange
Oh my good golly gracious! That's a lot of steps! Now I know why I was procrastinating! Thanks for the heads up. Maybe someone will just gift it to me for Christmas instead. That sounds like way too much opportunity for something to go wrong.
Scares the hell out of me.
As soon as an exchange offers steem it will be much easier. I am hoping it comes soon. There was just an application to coinbase to offer steem. We will see how it turns out
The work around to purchase steem is also hurting its development/growth.
I bet it does! You seem much more well-versed in the process than I am, that's for sure. I didn't realize the exchanges didn't offer steem. Just buying straight from an exchange was daunting enough, but to have to go through all those extra layers is a deal killer for me.
I don’t know crap
I had and are having a hard time with all of this. I just struggle through it.
You should get an exchange that you are comfortable with so when you are ready your understanding is better.
One of the problems I have is that I have no one to turn to here to help and show me things. That hurts my progress and understanding. How nice it would be to have a group to help each other learn
Are you familiar with the #steemitbloggers?
They are arguably the best community on the platform. We're a tight knit group who support each other, and there's pretty much always someone on the discord who can help you with things, whether it's tech things or crypto things or other random things.
If you are interested, this might be a good place to start.
I know a lot of people who are members.
Right now I am having something else to deal with. I don’t want to take on anything else. I am falling short with @pifc . Maybe later and I do appreciate it. You can remind me at a later date :)
You got it. :-) Do you know @lynncoyle1? She's having a similar experience as yours, but in a very different way. The two of you might very much enjoy chatting with one another.
