My acquaintance with crypto began three years ago with the HDX token, more precisely, with xHDX on the LBP. At that time, I had just returned from a rehabilitation center and had about $200 in unspent disability pension saved up over a month and a half. A friend told me about the Hydra project, so I went to Balancer and locked it all in.  
Over time,[ I started making posts about Hydra, on then new, platform Subsocial](https://grillapp.net/@hydradex). Due to illness, I had to pause, then return, and so on. I kept following the project on Telegram. From time to time, I had other crypto tokens in small amounts, but mainly, these years have been about following The Hydration.  
And here’s what I want to say: in my opinion, the most pressing issue for Hydration right now is its poor representation in exchange trading, being limited to Kraken only. For example, I couldn't pass KYC on Kraken due to my "wrong" citizenship in their system—more precisely, due to sanctions related to it. This obstacle makes it very difficult for me to pursue the idea of buying HDX monthly with 10% of my pension. But most importantly, HDX's limited presence on centralized exchanges (CEX) significantly reduces the project's reach and the crypto community’s interest in it.  
Listing HDX on at least one more liberal exchange, such as Bybit, MEXC, Gate and etc, would partially solve the problem of project exposure. Not to mention, the push for expansion should be a priority in Hydration’s marketing strategy.  

Thank you for your attention. I would love to see a broad discussion on the essence of what I have outlined above.
