See what ever be the case...one has to go through double exchnage...like from local currency to BTC----then again from BTC to Steem and in the process... the exchange fees is much more....we would be happy if there is any provision to buy steem with a credit card...with the growing community in steem....i think the time has come to ease the buying of steem.....at one hand we are earning cents here bit by bit and if for an exchange we are paying 15-20% then i must say its a setback....
