Hello Steemians!
Today I want to demonstrate how to get steem and  power up to steem power from our local exchange. Believe me sooner or later everyone realizes the importance of investing in your steem power. Then the question arises how to do that from where you are in the world. Many exchanges want prove of identity and location. The documents accepted differ based on the exchange and were you are in the world. So to know about the local exchange is a master key to success online. Many keep asking, how do you get the money you make online out of the internet?  Understanding the local exchanges is the pivot to cash in and to cash out. So this article is in the that light.

I would like to do a written article on this, for those that do not have the patience or the time to watch the videos to the end.

## These are the service providers i am using in cameroon. 
## MTN or ORANGE 
## yuscards.com 
## blocktrade.us
## steemit.com




This is the procedure :-
Go to any roadside MTN or ORANGE and deposit some money to your MTN MOBILE MONEY or ORANGE MONEY  account. 
Then use your local Money account to deposit money on your yuscards.com account. This is not the picture from the videos but It will look like this:-

Then now convert the CFA to bitcoins before sending the bitcoins to blocktrades.us where they will be converted to steem and sent to your steemit account and you can then power up.
When you convert this cash to bitcoins it will look like this:-

There is little or no cash, everything has been converted to bitcoins.
Now through blocktrade.us we can send and convert the bitcoins into steem.

Before the transfer from yuscards.com, i had only 15 conpleted transactions in my exchange history.
Withdrawal
From yuscards.com to blocktrades.us  then to steem in my 
steemit account. ![Withdraw Bitcoin to blocktrades us .png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfNRTqYXCC2B6B6ukHsFRtEqmvaCAHBYE7ZHaP1gB385b/Withdraw%20Bitcoin%20to%20blocktrades%20us%20.png)

## After the transfer from yuscards.com through blocktrade.us to my steemit account.

Now the bitcoins are being converted. 
Hence deduced from the yuscards.com wallet. 
notice that the number of complete transactions in blocktrade.us has increased from 15 to 16.

Let's go to your steemit account wallet :-

With the steem in your account you can do so many things.
Like power up
Like pay for upvote bots
Like pay for resteem services
Like delegation of steem power.
