Just one question if I may ask here:
Could the whales be kind enough to open a Paytm (India's alternative of Paypal) account, to sell their steem to Paytm users (basic amount of steem, if I may add)?
In India, Paypal doesn't work or has India-specific limitations, depending on type of bank (I opened a bank account twice at the wrong bank — now I'll have to try for the third time — all due to lack of information on time); Paytm is awesome but it works only within India. Buying bitcoin is again a whole another obstacle/challenge for a new user, on top of the PROHIBITIVE TRANSACTION FEES (ended up paying the price of 4 steem for 2 steem — I bought 2 steem in total, haha) by middlemen.
The difficulty at moving from the fiat money to steem is enormous — that too at such a loss. If the level of difficulty and the heavy losses incurred in the form of transaction fees, are reduced then it will attract a multitude of small investors, I believe. Can a whale be kind enough to lend a helping hand here? Thanks!
[To provide some context: I'd been trying to save enough money to buy 500 steem but it discouraged me on realizing that one has to shell out the price of 1000 steem, in order to own 500 steem. I don't know what I'm doing wrong here; I don't even know how to use the DISCORD properly — I opened two DISCORD accounts because I thought that each 'room' or group of 'rooms' requires a separate DISCORD account — so I'm stil trying to figure out how to take advantage of the Minnow Support Project, etc.]
