The lack of cultists is the only reason why I'm even reading these articles.

Now if only they could stabilize the price so you can pay for things instead of gamble on it.

This is why Monero will never work. Anonymity is defeated because i have to buy it when i want to use it, and sell as soon as i receive it. I can't just hold it in my offline wallet because I'd be speculating on the price.

Unless you buy within seconds of your transaction, or sell within seconds of your reception, how would anyone know who you transacted with beyond it may have been with a customer in one of the other thousands of transactions on KYC exchanges that day?

Who are 'they' who will stabilize the price?
