It's true that you don't need to buy HIVE (or any other token on the Hive blockchain) to use the #Ecency platform. 😎 You just need to have extra Resource Credits (which acts as "transaction fee" which regenerates for free over time) just in case you publish posts and comments more often than the average user. 🤓 !INDEED

Challenge for the day! Attempt to buy some hive, and figure out these usernames, and hive address somewhere, I've not a clue what I'm doing, tho have been messing with crypto for a few years, seems I'm now clueless!

I would recommend that if you aren't sure how to send HIVE tokens from your exchange to your Hive account, first try to send the minimum possible (such as only 1 HIVE if allowed), then send a bit more on every succeeding transaction until you finally figure out how to safely do so. 🧘‍♂️🤓 !INDEED

They all say 'need to check 'stuff' as soon as I say uk, they say no.

Have tried coinbase, kraken and a whole list of smaller ones, I'm sure there will be a way tho. Uk gov changed regulations, most (well so far all) will not or have not yet complied.
We have a loon for priminister, people here get arrested for praying.

I think that your only option as of now is to have a trustworthy friend or relative buy HIVE tokens on your behalf. 🤓 !INDEED

comes to mind is peer to peer something i've never done but, well, all learning.

Peer-to-peer is still done best when you personally know the person you are trading with, which I hope you find soon. 🤗🤓 !INDEED
