I joined Steemit back in 2016 and stayed there until it was sold to Justin Sun. I came here to Hive but I wasn't really sure what to do, I really liked "Steemit" and now it was "Hive" and then not long after that the world wide lockdown happened and well the world got crazy and it's never going back to the old 24 hour Walmart world. Anyhow, I'm back!
I attempted to buy some Hive a week or so ago and found the Blocktrades.us is no longer around (very sad) and also tried my old Binance account and found that even if I used a VPN they still wouldn't allow me to use their exchange. Then I got a reply (here at Hive) from @blocktrades about Hive being available at SimpleSwap.io
I'd only used SimpleSwap once before when I traded Bitcoin for Verse. No account or signup needed. No hassle and a really fast swap. Traded about 0.0544 Bitcoin Cash (BCH) for about 160 Hive.
The fun continues!
