You might be invested in crypto. But that should not prevent you from seeing simple reasons and accepting that crypto helps crime. Would you?


So does cash, but its not like I'm clamoring to outlaw that.


Yes, I am invested in crypto, and yes, I agree that crypto makes some forms of crime easier. There is no denying that, but I stand by my opinion regarding ransomware. Ransomware does not exist because of crypto, it's just the method of payment. If crypto goes away, then the method of payment will become more complicated, which in turn will likely make the ransoms higher, and the turn around times slower.
