Thank you. I'm not sure where you're based, but most onramps to the main cryptos require KYC. There are options where KYC isn't required yet, such as Kucoin and Blocktrades. Blocktrades allows you to swap your HIVE/HBD for a limited set of options, which you can then ship elsewhere to manage.

Hive is a nice play, but I'd definitely suggest diversification over time. It'll help you learn more about the crypto space as well, and allow you get explore yield and interest on your holdings to compound.

I'll make a post on the projects I like in the near future. It's a lot to reply about in a comment.
