Few years ago I used to buy XRP (Ripple) on Bitstamp with USD, then transfer that to Bittrex (dead) and buy hive-related tokens there. I chose Ripple because it back then had much lower transfer/withdrawal fee than i.e. BTC or ETH. I guess now effective fees on BTC are even higher ;)
Lately I do that in a single step via Binance, so far, sending EUR to Binance account directly turned out to incur the lowest fees. But if you are in UK, well.. that's probably not helpful at all.
That is very interesting. And with my VPN, it could be helpful. At the very least, it's something for me to play with. So thank you very much.
Coincidentally, immediately before reading your comment, I was playing with Revolut. And XRP is one of the few currencies that they allow you to withdraw without demanding a limb or close family member in withdrawal fees.
Maybe new paths to buying HIVE are emerging? Or do I buy ARB and get LEO? Some days I wish I didn't overcomplicate everything🙂.
