This is good news BUT

Are they actually holding XMR or are they using a service that receives for them the XMR and deposits fiat into their bank account?

Because if it's the latter the moment that major countries will ban XMR, the service provider will drop XMR and this map will become empty.

It is the latter and you are right with this. Until then I'm happy to pay my groceries with Monero. Where else can you do this?

At a small shop of your choice where you talk to the owner.

Big busineses will always be an easy attack vector for the state.

And just like Thomas Sowle said: to change the laws you must change the incentives of the politicans...

Good point. It's is a step in the right direction.

I am pointing these things out to start a discussion hopeing that someone will come up with solutions.

Currently I have to conclude that Ayn Rand was right. The only way to truly change society is by making society embrace a new philosophy.

But is there a short cut? Or maybe a more efficient way to do this?
