So what?

If you can’t understand the implications of this and need to ask “so what” just go read what Stallman and FSF say on this.

Honestly they don't even need to say so. The image literally looks like a vs code screenshot.

We don't need it, but we might need it to maintain our quality of life now.

Nightclubs are still too dark. Streets are too bright.

Oh man, I always find it so slimy when people do that! I've also noticed it's mostly HR people or sales people who do this, so clearly it's a phony technique they learned somewhere. But I suppose it gets taught because it works, maybe for people who don't pick up on the fact that it's so forced?

The statement, more refined, would clarify, "publicly traded companies".

It's not actually that tricky - because obtaining Monero anonymously is also tricky, the only way to do so is to put on a pair of rubber gloves, and anonymously send cash from a mailbox that can't be traced to your identity. The other side of that transaction is the party interested in converting to cash. Because there's so much demand on both ends, there are many reputable vendors with a long and trusted history of those transactions.

If you take any trade that is supposedly 1:1 you are not bright because there is no reason to do it.

Dollars, too.
