I am from Singapore. Over here, the easiest way for us to get crypto is through Binance.sg. There is a fee of 0.6% but the exchange rate is quite competitive.

The major plus point is I can transfer my crypto to my wallet almost immediately. That will allow me to switch to STEEM quickly if I want to. It will be even better if I can buy STEEM directly on Binance.sg with fiat. Still waiting for that to happen though
