Brilliant and again, another much needed explanation for newer Steemians.
I'm watching your videos and buying Steem Power....Because I'm addicted and need help! But seriously, I follow the exact same procedure. It's the easiest for me as well being in Canada. Our 'exchanges' are horrible here....So as much as Coinbase drove me nuts in December....It's the easiest to use to buy via fiat and than transfer over here.
Thanks @jongolson, yeah I wish there were some better CoinBase alternatives (and a way to avoid all the fees) but it's really the best right now. If you haven't already, check out GDAX which is basically CoinBase and has less fees for transferring. It's just CoinBase without the pretty UI.
