Exactly. The more I think about it, the main reason the shills do not use good arguments against Bitcoin is because it really exposes the state and the criminal activity it perpetrates. Bitcoin brings out the real incentive models at play. It exposes the truth. Bitcoin is a flood light exposing the rats in our society. Those who are rent seekers. Those who are robbing the rest of us. Those that are creating the problems they claim to be solving.

It's also a sleight of hand describing proportions. Sure most ransomware attacks could use bitcoin. But most bitcoin transactions aren't ransomware payments.

Removing bitcoin would do nothing to prevent ransomware attacks.

I'm pretty sure fiat is still most commonly used in those anyway.
