Thank you for the explanation. Would 'buy something' in this case mean to choose options over 'normal' compensation (salary)? Or were employees advised to buy extra options in the company at some point? Also, I thought there was a difference between options and equity and the assumption I have heard some people have is that 'equity' is safer than 'options', but if I think about it now it seems as if options are just what equity consists of. Is there a difference and does one consist of the other? While I understand that I should probably consult Duck Duck Go on this some more, I still ask seeing as you seem to be knowledgeable on the subject.
