Buying steem from blocktrades vs changelly

in #steemit7 years ago

Hi Steemit,

As the price of steem went down to under 1 dollar , it's tempting to buy more and power up. We all know it's simple and easy to use blocktrades to do this, but i was curious about buying it from another site .

I was hesitant at start because steem address seems to be different from normal crypto address, so i was worried that it would be lost. But finally I tried to use changelly.com, and used 0.01 btc as a trial. And it wasn't too bad.

At the time of the transfer :

With blocktrades 0.01 BTC equals to 33.921 STEEM

With Changelly 0.01 BTC equals to 34.506 STEEM

So slightly better rates on Changelly , and this is how to convert BTC to Steem with Changelly

First select the crypto and amount you have on (You Have) column in this case BTC, and select the crypto you want to get in the (You Get ) in this case STEEM and click the exchange button

Second, check if everything is correct and click Next

Third, enter your steem address, which is your steemit username (without the @) . Notice there is 'memo' , you can get memo from your steemit wallet and click permissions and you'll find your memo at the bottom.

lastly, send the btc to the address provided by changelly and then the steem will be sent to your steem wallet

You need to have changelly account first before exchanging, and it's wise to use small amount first when trying for the first time, and then use bigger amounts once you are familiar with the procedures

Sort:  

If ir drops any lower i will but buying another 500+

hi williams858, yes it's good to wait at low price, and try small amount first like 1 steem if it's your first time buying from changelly just in case for testing purpose

Yeah thats good practice. Will deffo check the conversion nrxt time I buy a load more!

I use blocktrades alot

hi brothermic, using blocktrades is easier i think. So it's fair that the rate a bit higher

Thanks for the info, every little bit helps.......

Seems to changelly is worth than blocktrades..😊
