For many Europeans it is impossible to get a credit card.
I'm not going to get back to dancing for a bunch of losers for 100 linden dollars a night.
So instead I buy my lindens now.
Because over here banks don't hand out credit cards like candy (this isn't the US you know), I have no choice but to buy my lindens from a middle-man, the Dutch Exchange. For MANY Europeans the Dutch Exchange is the only way to buy money in SL.
Take away the middle-man banks and you're discriminating against Europeans again. But who cares anyway? Linden Labs proved with their sick Age Verification scheme that they don't mind a new age of Apartheid!
