Dear Steemians.
I have read today that we have our own first USD STEEM trading pair. Our fiat bridge has finally arrived.
But much to my suprise it was on Lykke which is a very reputable Swiss based exchange with very solid background and which has good funding and support here. I have been using them for over a year now and never had any issues.
I can tell from experience and have seen people from the company around on meetups here in the Crypto Valley. They are rooted in our community. So if you have any doubts just put them aside what that is concerned
The only thing lacking for the moment is liquidity but I guess we can take care of that ourselves :-)
I started (and I know its overpriced but you cannot blaim someone for trying to make a bit of profit) by sending some Steem to my Lykke account
This worked like a charm and then I undercut the price a bit and put the steem up for sale.
I can also vouch for the Fiat bridge since I have used this exchange as my fiat onramp for over a year having both used it for deposits and withdrawals.
So for those with worries, be at ease, this is a legit company that has been around for a while. They also have an IOS/android app that works well on the go.
