I hadn't had a chance to try Bittrex. But converting from GBP to HIVE via Binance was horribly expensive in terms of both fees and the prices they were quoting (significantly worse than those shown on CoinGecko !).
Right now, Transak seems to work out the best value. I miss being able to just buy HIVE through Blocktrades.
Going forward, do we have anyone within Hive who has any contacts in any exchanges that could be leveraged, or for that matter anyone who is a secret banker that could somehow create a direct fiat to HIVE on-ramp ?
I wasn't aware of Transak, we still have Binance so all is not lost!
