**This is a step-by-step guide for buying STEEM tokens if you live *(or are residing)* in the Philippines.**

[STEEM](https://steem.com/) is a social blockchain created for online communities and decentralized applications [(DAPPs)](https://steemapps.com/) with a social component.

The base token for the Steem blockchain is [STEEM](https://steem.com/) and in it's liquid form, it can be converted to [Bitcoin](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin), [ETH](https://www.ethereum.org/), other crypto-currencies and in some cases, US Dollars, or other Government issued currencies depending on where you live.
