RE: NOW you can buy STEEM with Visa or Mastercard credit/debit card

in #steem8 years ago (edited)

I went to Changelly.com and couldn't even get past the first page. Everytime I tapped on the LTC to look if there's steem my keyboard pops up right in the way . I tried a few times but if it's that hard just to look at it and get past the first nevermind signing up . Then it's going to be to difficult for me lol ! I don't care to try even cashing out steem after hearing all the hoops you need to jump through when I've never done it before ! And I don't even have a account at polonex or whatever blocktrades I guess ! I just wish or hope for the day that it becomes easy at least ! Thanks steeming on l😆😊they sent me a email some day I will try to figure it out when I have more time ! Lol

Sort:  

with blocktrades you don't need an account, it can do direct conversions just as changelly. Just fyi.

Oh OK ! So can I change steem into actual money there as well ?!😊

I think Blocktrades is limited to Steem/SBD -> other crypto.
I don't know of a way currently to get fiat (e.g. US dollars) from Steem/SBD directly. Changelly (just like Blocktrades) only works one way USD to Steem, not the other way around based on my understanding.

But again, the point is that you don't need accounts (like on poloniex) to make conversions on Blocktrades or Changelly. Downside is that you may be exposed to lower conversion rate (get less for the same money).

Aha! Good to know ! This stuff and trading etc. Is all very difficult and hard to understand. For someone that's never even dealt with trading or cripto before ! Thanks you were very helpful ! 😊👍

:) That's what Steemit is trying to sort out. A Social Media interface that works on top crypto but without it being right in front. It would indeed help to have some direct conversions from the Steemit wallets into USD and back that are a seamless experience to everyone. I hope we manage to achieve that sometime in the near future!

Hey @karenmckersie, how can we help you to pass the exchange process? Probably can you share screenshots, what's going wrong for you? Or just send request to our [email protected] team. We believe that we have made intuitive and pretty clear interface. But you can help us to get better. As for registration, we just ask for your email to take care - send a payment receipt, save your exchanges history and give your a support, if needed. If you want to stay anonymous, just type any fake email you want, we don't require it's confirmation. Hope you will be satisfied by our service http://Changelly.com further!

I look further into it when I decide to do it ! I'm using a new keyboard that pops up in the way of your pop up list ! So I can't read it . It's hard to explain and can't screen shot it because it goes away as soon as I tap on it ! Lol I'm too busy right now and when I'm ready will look more into it ! Also I'm in Canada so need info and best way to turn steem into Canadian fiat ! Thanks for all the help !👍I only have and use a tablet .

Thanks! Please, provide your tablet model and browser name. We will try to check out interface there.

When the time comes I can help you. You want advise from another Canadian.
I used Changelly to convert Steem to Bitcoin ... and created a Wallet Here to transfer the Bitcoin to -- www.bitgo.com/instant
... and opened an account here to deposit the bitcoins to my Canadian bank account.
https://www.canadianbitcoins.com/
The only downside is that you need to deposit a minimum of 0.2 bitcoins, which is $228 Canadian right now.
It took me a long time to research my best and least complicated options.

OK so you also needed to open an account at. - www.bitgo.com/instant to change your bitcoins into Canadian currency ? And at that time does it automatically go into your bank account ? And I'm thinking it cost alot , so I have heard ,to use changelly ?! I'm just worried about somehow loosing all my money ! Lol ! Thanks a bunch for all the info ! Happy Holidays !🎄👍😆🎄

Bitgo is a Bitcoin Wallet. You could probably use any bitcoin wallet out there.
Steem must be converted to Bitcoin and then converted to your local currency.
The Wallet at Bitgo is where you tell Changelly to send your Bitcoin that they just bought with the Steem you sent them.
I forgot to post the link for the other account to open ... sorry ... this one I had to research for a long time to figure out the best option ...

Canadian Bitcoins will take the bitcoins out of your wallet, convert it to Canadian dollars and direct deposit it to your Canadian Bank account.
I will go edit my original post. Sorry for the confusion.

OMG! This sounds very confusing and difficult ! Thanks for the info!🙃

I did it 3 times before the price of Steem fell. Now I power up instead.
The money went through to my bank each time. I was worried too at first but it works.

That's great it's very encouraging and good to know ! I always 100 percent power up everything I get in steem! It's my future house / retirement fund ! I may need more help when I do decide to take some out ! Thanks for everything ! It's great advise from a fellow Canadian! 🇨🇦

OK thanks ! What exactly do you mean by coin based account !? I'm in Canada ,not that I'm interested in cashing out yet ! I'm saving for my retirement fund to build a small house ! But what is the easiest and best coin based account , which I'm assuming I would have to set up , that you would recommend !? And thanks for all the info ! Much appreciated !😊👍
