to spend or not to spend...

There's a lot of reasons you might want to spend some of your hard earned HIVE or HBD. There's really only a few options as far as exchanges to convert straight to cash. If you're in the US, Bittrex is your only choice and the HIVE/HBD wallets are disabled like 60% of the time. So for the past week, I haven't been able to move anything through Bittrex. Fuck it, I hate central exchanges anyway. Here's how I do it without an exchange.

In order to do this, you'll either need Bitpay card or a Coinbase card. I have both - I prefer the Bitpay card for a few different reasons. Mainly because it seems to work literally anywhere. I have issues with the Coinbase card sometimes. To get a Bitpay card, go HERE...

Ok, so first - you need to convert your HIVE or HBD to SWAP.BTC, SWAP.DOGE, or SWAP.BCH. I usually use SWAP.BCH but lately there has not been much volume and you send up paying a premium. I have been using SWAP.DOGE. Move your HBD or HIVE to Hive Engine or LeoDEX. Swap it for SWAP.DOGE.

Once you have your SWAP.DOGE, click withdraw and select Dogecoin. Enter the amount and your DOGE address from the Bitpay app. Sign with Hive Keychain

After a few minutes, your Dogecoin will appear in the Bitpay card.

Now we need to click Card and Add Funds.

Once you click Add Funds, enter the dollar amount. Note: DOGE fees are gunna be like 60 cents. Then slide the Doge slider lol.

Boom. you now have money to spend and never touched a centralized exchange. Bitpay and Hive Engine to the rescue!

It's so easy literally anyone could do it. Have fun you degens. Fuck the system.

peace.
