So I joined HIVE 4 days back and received an amazing welcome and here is [My Introduction Post](https://hive.blog/hive-174578/@nixb/first-post-on-hive-my-introduction-glad-i-found-hive-sooner-than-later) on OCD. One thing I noticed was I wasn't having much HIVE power so I couldn't even thank the fellow members who supported my first post.

So I decided to open an account on Binance and make an investment by purchasing 100 HIVE and powering them all up.

***Purchasing HIVE using debit card***

And the good thing is you can purchase HIVE directly with your bank card! As HIVE is listed on Binance, there is no need to purchase Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency first and exchange it for HIVE.

***Sending HIVE from Binance to HIVE Wallet***

As you can see with HIVE, my wallet address is not a string of random letters and numbers. It's my username for HIVE. This makes it super easy o remember and you can share it with anyone easily for transactions.

***My wallet has received HIVE from Binance***

As you can see from above screenshot, when I send 100.000 HIVE tokens, I receive 99.990 meaning that the **network fee is very low** and to be exact 0.01 HIVE which is way cheaper than other cryptos out there.

Than I powered Up all HIVE token in my wallet and my HIVE power increased from 0 to 100.

And all above transactions were registered on my wallet.

After powering Up I could say thanks to all the people who had commented on my introduction post. 

As my HIVE power increases, **I'm planning to delegate HP to newcomers** to our platform so that they can make a difference starting from day 1.

Thank you all for your valuable support by reading this post! I'm really glad to be a par of this amazing community.

Unfortunately I couldn't find anyone else from my country #SriLanka on HIVE community. So I'll be working to get more on board!!!  🚗 🚕  🚌
