HOW TO BUY STEEM | and put your money where your mouth is

in #steem7 years ago (edited)

Welcome!


This is not the ultimate guide to Steemit, but I will tell you the story how I almost burned $5 on figuring out myself.

As counter intuitive as Crypto may sometimes be:
Steem does not exactly make everything much easier

  • You can buy Steem on some popular exchanges
    Bittrex, Binance, Poloniex, Upbit...

  • Steemit actually uses your account name as address!
    No more c1337-W28cWH4T3V3RcK3Y5&S7uFF
    We're very used to these kind of keys
    So while I was figuring out which of all the impossible steemit keys to use...

This is all you need

  • I almost lost 5 Dollar
    By pasting a steem memo key in the address.
    Luckily the exchange canceled my order
    But we all know the anxiety of sending money to the wrong address!

Otherwise, go here

And then



This way it automatically converts to steem power, so you don't have to power up

After figuring out, I was confident to transfer some more.

Right now my vote is worth about 12 cents

  • Although it's not that much
    It feels great to upvote great content
    And give a little bit of reward
    It doesn't cost you any Steem yourself vote for someone


So put your money where your mouth is, and buy some Steem





And put that Steempower to good use!
