This is completely twisted and wrong!
It would be correct like this:

"There's always a shitcoiner claiming to help the unfortunate... people in Cuba and Venezuela can just use shitcoin without paying to convert into (insert Bitcoin here)"

No one is forced to buy Hive or HBD.
It's right, I buy Hive and HBD with fiat money. But only to increase my influence, my vote and my curation rewards. Anyone can easily use Hive without buying.

Alles gute
