RE: How To Buy Steem with USD (Newbie Guide 👼🏼 )

in #steem7 years ago (edited)

Great post and if you have a credit union like me, you need to call them to make sure your debit card is 3dsecure ready. They turn it on and off for me every time I use coinbase. Thanks for sharing @mrs@mrsLauren

Sort:  

There MUST be an easier way to buy Steem! Steemit cryptocurrency money exchanges 

Rather than go through one or more third parties, why not buy Steem from Steemit.com, or Steem.com? Am I making any sense here??? Or  am I being too simplistic here? Am I being an idiot for stating the obvious??

Buying through third parties is very discouraging and suspicious to most normal people. 

The steem eco system could very easily set up there own e-commerce payment gateway. Why don't they?

Perhaps tere is strategic brand marketng reason to sell steem through third-party exchanges, istead of diect to customers..

@road2wisdom can you explain this? what is 3dsecure and why do i need it?
