Before I realized different cryptos were on different networks, I attempted to convert USDT to BNB, but being a Texas resident, I can't even use the Binance website. I panicked and bought ETH to try to transfer to a different platform, but I think I screw

Good evening,

After about 3-4 hours of Googling, watching YouTube videos and everything else, I realize that ultimately I'm screwed for being a Texas resident and attempting to obtain BNB. I purchased $70 of USDT, which now after fees is down to $50, and I purchased $50 of ETH to handle transaction fees (which is now $36, because I screwed up a transfer TO MYSELF (ugh, don't even get me started).

I have an account on CoinBase, I've made an account on Binance US, KuCoin, MetaMask, Trust Wallet and even TokenPocket, and I'm totally at a loss here.

Ultimately, the money is still (mostly) there, minus fees. I got in WAY over my head.

Is there ANY way I can convert this USDT to BNB without buying more ETH for transaction fees? If I wait until the traffic goes down, the miner fee can be lower, but I'm feeling pretty dumb here.

Or, is there any way I can just...sell this stuff and get some of my money back? Ugh. Instead of dipping my toes, I dove in head-first, haha.
