I trade currencies part time, mostly for fun, and I recently bought up a bunch of Steem on a trading platform outside of Steemit.
I had hoped to send that Steem over to my Steemit account, either in the form of Steem, or preferably as Steem Power.
Only there appears to be no way to do this.
Sure I could buy more Steem or Steem Power with Bitcoin, but I already owned the Steem, why couldn't I transfer it?
So, I searched for a way that perhaps hadn't been obvious.
I came up with hundreds of videos on how to get your Steem out of Steemit, but none on how to put it back in.
The only option apparently was to convert the Steem into Bitcoin and then to send that Bitcoin back over to Steemit.
That's...
No.
Not going to happen.
I'd tag the developers in this post, but I don't think that would help much with all the people screaming for their attention.
There needs to be a way for people to put Steem from external markets back into the Steemit ecosystem without having to go through Bitcoin as a middle step.
Kind of like when a corporation decides to buy back some of its own shares, except this time you would be allowing Steemians to buy back shares at their own discretion.
Anyway, just my two cents.
