Swapping usdt (trc) for trx requires

Hey all,

So... I'm at a loss here. I have some usdt trc I'd like to swap to erc but I do't have enough trx for that. so I thought ok, I bet I could swap usdt for trx... Not. I need trx to do that as well, so I'm stuck at some kind of evil chicken-and-egg situation.

Any way of getting energy without trx?
Alternatively, buy trx without kyc whatsoever?

Thanks for any insight.
