I previous went via my Wirex debit card to buy Litecoin that I could swap on the blocktrades site (now dead). Later I used the Buy With CC (Transak) option in the peakd wallet to buy $HIVE directly, but that seemed to stop working. So I have not bought any in a while. It sounds like simpleswap is used by many, so I should look at that. I just haven't bought any in a while as I sold some Splinterlands stuff to get $HIVE to power up. We really do need simple routes, but regulations can make it complicated. I think some sort of KYC is mandatory.
