Has anyone else noticed how difficult it is to invest money in Steem?
I thought it would be so easy. Here's my brain:
Let's start with Bitcoin...
I got myself a wallet. Yippee!
Ah, I see the block chain is likely to take three days to download.
Ok. I can wait. In the meantime I need to buy some bitcoins.
I know. I'll use my paypal money.
Oh dear. Paypal to crypto currency is almost impossible.
I know... perhaps a wallet/exchange to begin with.
Coinbase want a passport photo with me in it taken via my webcam. No problem. I'll put some clothes on and wash the chocolate off my face.
Say cheese!
Oh dear. It doesn't work. Perhaps the 'help' section will have an answer.
They do have an answer. There is nothing they can do. Perhaps it's my browser.
Ok, no problems. I'll try CEX.IO
Verification...ok. They'll accept an upload of a passport.
And they need a utility bill. Upload that.
And they require a photo of me holding the passport.
AND none of the uploads can be scans. They must all be photos.
Oh dear. Start again.
Or give up....which is what I have done for today.
Does anyone have any tips on how to buy steem? I cannot be doing this the most efficient way...
