So I've finally bought bitcoin after reading all the advice from everyone around here. Thanks so much everyone, it was actually quite easy I don't know what I was so overwhelmed with the process early on and waited so long.
I want to that for laying out the entire process for all to see with
in this post HERE a few week back. Check the never ending comment thread whole the process.
He suggested a Jaxx Wallet app on my Iphone which was super simple to set up. Then I made an account with Canadian Bitcoins as suggested and after a few days of photos back and forth it was all set up and I made my first purchase of $500CAD. Here are the very exciting results.
Of course I immediately transferred it all to STEEM using Blocktrades to power up my account, hoping to be a epic whale, drop huge upvotes and get a vote slider finally, but it appears I came up a bit short after all the currency conversions were done it was only 255 STEEEM.
But my 100% upvote did go to whooping $0.05, If I ever let it actually recharge to 100%. But now I'm on a mission to get a that last little bit of STEEM I need. I really want that darn vote slider finally and then I want to get some extra to start exploring some delegation to all the great communities and initiatives that have helped me so far here on Steemit.
Watch closely, I'm going to raid my silver hiding spots this weekend and find a few pieces I am willing to part with and make a few more trades/sales with this new bitcoin wallet and STEEM/SBD. (Any requests anyone-I have a little bit of everything and I'm going to get those bears for you )
I am also looking for further advice about what to do next. I understand that Bitcoin is the gateway coin to trade for other coins. So I must need some accounts with some of the exchanges or however this all works. Also should I get this Trezor Wallet everyone suggests to move the coins off my Iphone. Then how do I move coins between wallets, is there a fee, so many more questions.
Also if anyone knows the secret next coin that's dirt cheap but going to go crazy in a few years so I can retire and live off the land feel free to let me know as well.
