Add to your voting power by purchasing STEEM directly within STEEMIT.com with BTC!
This post will show you how to purchase STEEM directly from Blocktrades.us without leaving steemit.com; no tab switching, no accounts or email verifications just click the 'Deposit STEEM' options and send in BTC for hassle free conversion; see the step by step below for more details
Step by Step - how to buy STEEM from within STEEMIT.COM
1.Login to Steemit.com as you normally would
2.Click the 'hamburger' menu next to your account icon in the top right hand corner
3.Select 'Deposit STEEM' or 'Deposit STEEM POWER'
Note: STEEM is transferable but does not count to your voting power, where STEEM POWER is not transferable and does count to your voting power. we will buy STEEM and the power it up as an optional step later in this guide, but the process is very much the same for both options
4.Send desired amount of BTC to the address on screen; Make sure you do not exceed the 'Suggested Limit'
Note: you can also enter the desired amount of BTC in the text box labelled "Amount to send BTC"; this will update the QR code with the desired amount to save you typing it in your wallet; this is optional and is not required; just make sure you do not exceed the suggested limit
5.Send BTC from your wallet and wait until the transaction is received as pictured below (where my transaction history shows processing..)
6.After a few seconds processing will be completed and you will see your new STEEM in you wallet thanks to Blocktrades.us
7.Optional; if you would like to 'Power Up' you STEEM to get more voting power in the network click the down arrow next to your STEEM balance and then select 'Power UP'
8.Enter the amount you would like to 'Power Up' or select the link below (Balance: 74.95 STEEM) to select you whole balance.
9.Click the 'Power up' button and your history will display that you have vested the balance entered.
Your done - nice work :)
if you would like to buy STEEM POWER with another form of crypto currency other than BTC; Blocktrades.us has you covered. See my guide below for step by step

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..

I don't see this being such a big change to implement, it will use blocktrades.us and essentially the same function just reversed. i would be surprised if we didn't see this option come into play after July 4th

Usually about/privacy/terms of service are last options on menus. Features and functions should be above those.

This is a great feature!! I feel like I should've waited a little longer to get STEEM into my account. But... well, I wanted to add some STEEM at that time. So, that was a good practice to me to know a little about this technology. **How I got own STEEM!!

I'm trying to figure out... If I can't send another user my SteemPower right now, who is sending me SteemPower the moment I buy it with BTC? Is the Steem block-chain tied to BTC in some way?
