RE: When I introduced Steemit to my Friends - Being nice to people is a big sin these days!

Can you please guide me how can I buy Steem? Like do I have to first buy BTC and then buy them on Block trades?
Also if you know any authentic website to buy BTC via credit card.

That's worth a big tutorial because details aren't possible here. Yes, BTC is necessary. Blocktrades is one option. Poloniex, Bittrex are others.

UrduBit is our local source of BTC. It's better than LocalBitcoins in price comparison. I used Cex.io (reliable but not cheap). Coinbase is good but doesn't work here. Local exchangers can be found on Facebook.

Procedure

1. Buy BTC and send them to Bittrex/Poloniex/Blocktrades.
2. Buy Steem from BTC markets there.
3. Send Steem to Steemit Account.
4. Power Up.

Thanks a lot and please write a post on this as well for Pakistanis, buying BTC from a credit card is looking bit shaky.

I have it planned. Some posts are ready but waiting for the market to stabilize. Plus I need to add my own experiences which will take some time.
