Congratulations in your first embarkment to purchase crypto.
I too have seen the potential of the almost seamless transaction in Steemit from point A to point B without the nerve-wracking mining fees.

Hence in #teammalaysia in the beginning of the year, the idea of gathering like-minded Steemians and encouraging peer-to-peer exchange among locals have begun; and since then it has been on auto-mode where fellow countrymen will just ask around and see who wish to buy / sell among one another.

Maybe this can encourage you an idea to find local Steemians in your county, State or even same country. I am uncertain how your bank transfers service charges, but over here in Malaysia at the moment the interbanking charches has been removed for ease of use and encourage people to be more cashless.

Hope you will be able to engage with your local Steemians, get to know them, establish friendship and start your peer-to-peer exchanges amongs friends.

This could save you a whole lot in the long run.

I have an account, @dses that speaks about how it started and gone through the past year, and also pitching ideas in how to work on decentralised sustainable ecosystem. Perhaps when you have time you can hop over and have a look and see if there are new ideas spurring in your brilliant mind.
