Directly buy "powered up" Steem
BlockTrades (http://blocktrades.us) has added #Steem Power to its “instant exchange” engine, enabling users to directly purchase Steem Power with popular cryptocurrencies such as #bitcoin, #bitshares, ether, and litecoin. BlockTrades added support for buying Steem a few weeks ago, but now it's possible to buy and "power up" STEEM purchased from BlockTrades in a single step.
Below are direct URLS for buying Steem Power with bitcoin and bitshares:

I thought the STEEMPOWER are not transferable, and it hard to liquidize it to STEEM.
Block trades has liquid steem, they transfer it to you and power up in one step.
It's like giving you a choice to use your words wisely because the fools will fall into their own snare. "Map-Address-sync"

If you send [1] BTC, we'll send you 8077456.297693 STEEMPOWER
is this true?
Yes, this is correct, but bear in mind the units shown on your account on Steemit are in millions. So 1 BTC currently buys around 8M Steem Power (~980 STEEM equivalent).
My account converts 1 steem to 1 steempower. Am I missing something?
Apparently I didn't get the memo, but you're right, the steemit.com web wallet reports steempower in units of steem, not in units of vests. The last I knew steempower was just another name for vests, and I always use the command-line wallet (which operates in vests) or look at my balance on steemd.com (which also shows vests). I've changed the amounts displayed for steempower on BlockTrades now, so it reports in units of steem when buying steempower. Thanks for letting me know.
nope
Ok, the only STEEM "wallet" I have is here in my steemit account.
Where do I find the address I can use add STEEM through BlockTrades?
The "address" for steem is the name of your account.

Where did BTS on the instant exchange go? Is it coming back or at least be an option in the client wallet?
We were having some problems with the BitShares wallet going offline every few minutes, so we disabled it for a while until we could move it to a different system with less load. I'm happy to report it's back up now, and so far it's looking happier on the new machine. Come on by and buy some BitShares :-)
When will the selling of STEEM and STEEM POWER be enabled again?
Great content. And I am going to follow and read every of your post to learn about the block trades and cryptocurrency as I don't have no clue at all .
