Go to https://www.coinbase.com and you can buy bitcoin directly from your bank account

Thank you! I just went around their site and I think I can get it from here. Much appreciated!

Ah coinbase or localbitcoins, then send the bitcoin to an exchange like Bittrex.com to trade for Steem :)

That's the plan! Thanks!

This is a question I have had on my mind too.
