You can get the bitshares exchange. VERY easy to signup. here https://wallet.bitshares.org/#
from there you can trasnfer your BTC into the exchange and buy BitShares...
Or you can you poloniex and transfer BTC into your account. then use BTC to buy bitshares
or you can use binance like you mentioned.
I use a mix of all three but I like Poloniex best. but i will start to use the actual Bitshares website . ( https://wallet.bitshares.org/#/ ) pretty soon because I believe it will become a big exchange and I want to understand it more. :)
I use the openledger because the bitshares one doesn't work on my OSX right now. What do you think about openledger ?
