Once again your language and outlook are Authoritarian Empire. You and other maxi's get to decide what everyone must want, Vanilla icecream. This alone side steps the basic Austrian principals that Bitcoin has always been about. DC allows for market choice, for people who want other things.

As far as your other claims about market and ransomware, would love to see some data and lists. All i've seen are monero only for both.
