It should be:

• easy - it's not you should get some weird token based on XPR, not HIVE, not HBD)
• cheap - clearly it's not, it's way more expensive, up to the ridiculous level
• safe - not at all, added middle man is added risk, added tokens on the way, etc

So overall; it's risky, expensive, and really, and not worth the hassle at all.
