You need to be kyc'd for anything over 1700 bucks to buy Hive on blocktrades and binance is not a viable option in USA. People trying to dec or sps have been having a hell of a time just trying to buy it with their ETH or BTC. Agg has been been making mention of how obscure Hive is and how people are keep requesting for SPL to use other currencies that are easier to acquire.
