Hey that's great that you got it started. I'm sure it took me way more than 2 hours to figure out and start one account at one site to buy BTC but I did get to buy some and then had to wait I think 2 weeks to send the little bit of BTC to my Steem-wallet account to buy the Steem with, then after I got the Steem I could buy CTP with that Steem. It does seem like a long drawn out process but I think it's worth it. Trying to be patient now and let it accumulate. The more you post here on any of the steem blogs, the more you will earn in CTP or other crypto depending on which thing you're logged in when you post. You do not have to post from only the ctptalk part.
Hey thanks for the advice @busylion. So glad to have the account set up now have to figure out how to purchase btc , then to buy steem. Grateful to be working it step by step.
