RE: The Big Steem Drop, Was It Good For Your Growth Rate?
Ok Thanks Dave. I want to invest in Steem on a regular basis . Was hoping to hear there was more of a clear cut method to buying than going thru the buy, then exchange, method. I thought i had seen a direct way to buy from a new cryptovendor. Thanks CT
There are not "official" places to do it direct to my knowledge. It is either to buy it via another crypto and then converting or going the route of having a few people that you are connected with that buy it... @pennsif is one that buys regularly.... I think you can also be one that buys regularly too... Just make a post and tell people you want to buy x amount of either steem or sbd... Make sure of 2 things if you do that though:
you know who you are dealing with.
keep the quantities small so that if there is a problem on either end it won't hurt you or the other side.
I am planning on doing this myself at some point in the future.
Thanks for the tips. I am more inclined to go the traditional route by opening a coinbase account and buying some - whatever - and then converting it to steem at wherever that is done.
that's cool... that is the normal way most people do it... I have heard the fees are kinda high (10% I think), but that is probably the safest way!
I too wish for a more frictionless transaction to be sure. Im a little mad at myself as i saw a post about another way to buy it about a month ago that is more direct - just one hop instead of two - but did not save it and cannot find further info since! Will keep looking and let you know if i find it!
I have a whole bunch of saved in favorites in my browser of things like that... Unfortunately I didn't see that one or I would've saved it :P
I know. right? The one time i didnt save... Grrrrr!
