Hi HODLers and Hiveans,

Another little tweak added by the most popular UI @peakd ! I say little because it does not seem much but it is another step into the mainstream direction.

You can now buy HIVE directly from the @peakd wallet UI!

You can either choose CC (Credit Card) or Crypto!

Credit Card

This is the ultimate newcomer's way to buy his first $HIVE. Once you click there you will be sent to an URL starting by https://global.transak.com/

You can then decide between 3 options Apple Pay, Google Pay or Credit Card. All of these options seem to have similar fees sitting around 4.2% of the value purchased.

Coming from the CryptoWorld, we know that it is quite expensive but convenience has a price and you do not have to sign-up to a CEX, wire funds and then withdraw HIVE to your Hive account.

Crypto

This is a widget added onto the Peakd Platform. They use SimpleSwap to process it.

Fees is also not the cheapest as it seems we would get only 36,000 $HIVE for 1 $BTC (sitting currently at c.29.5k).

In the end, these services are taking risks and need to make a living, I do not see these being used across the board but in a BullMarket Mood, I could see some boomers or rich people buying HIVE through these tools.

We need more of these little tweaks

On LeoFinance there also was a little tweak a few weeks ago when we added the Facebook sign-in!

This is how Web3 is supposed to work, making it easy to move from one platform to another. This is also how some Metaverse projects are designing themselves...
