Its the weekend, And as per my usual Friday evening routine, I'm sat on the sofa listening to music (Saor's latest album, if you were curious). After a busy week in the office, its time to put my feet up and enjoy some music (and snacks), and breathe...
While I'm chilling, I'm also mooching round on hive and seeing if I can find anything interesting... and I came across the below image/meme thing from 
However, the most interesting part of this post, was actually this image

Wait a sec... has Hive dropped done to 20 cents?!
Looks like it has...
As a general rule, I'm not overly bothered about the price, as long as I keep earning more hive, then the numbers (and in turn the overall value) will keep going up.
But 20 cents? thats a level low enough to tempt me into buying it with actual money. I've bought Hive in the past, back when it was at it record lows of 0.10 cents 3/4 years ago... but lately I've been happy enough to increase my stake with posting and curating.
For 20 cents though... this is a tempting opportunity to buy... except, its been so long that I no longer know how to do it.
My previous way was to use Coinbase to buy bitcoin
(yes I know, don't judge me)
and then to transfer to @Ionomy to convert bitcoin to Hive
(I can still feel you judging me)
And then it would be transferred to my Hive wallet. I know it wasn't the most cost-effective way of doing it, but it was simple, and it worked.
Roll forward to this evening, and with the low hive price (plus a recent pay day) I decided it was high time I invested in some more Hive.
Except... it didn't work
I clicked the ionomy website to check I could still log into it, before heading to coinbase... and it looks like something is broken
And then when I checked the 
I did briefly check out the option to buy hive from the PEAKD wallet
But that doesn't even have Hive listed as an option to buy
So now I'm stuck.
And its not just getting money into hive, if there is no on-ramp, then I have no off-ramp either, incase I actually want to spend some of my hive earnings at some point in the future.
So I'm asking the community, and that means you, dear reader.
What is the easiest, simplest way to buy Hive?
Feel free to add suggestions in comments, or add links to previous written articles about how to do it. Preferably I'm after a way of doing it as safe as possible, with , little to no KYC, and the less steps required the better.
Thank you for reading, I hope you found it interesting.
