It is? I have read about 20 hospital and local city government ransomware that were forced to pay in last 12 months alone, and it's increasing at a compounding rate as price goes up.
Price, and by proxy bitcoin, has nothing to do with it. Ransomware writers would demand irreversible transactions like western union wire transfers to a no-laws nation if cryptocurrency were banned. They cash out nearly immediately anyways so price does not matter to them.
The issue is the cryptography that powers ransomware, and you can't really outlaw that.
enjoy all your riches.
Don't need to. Money doesn't buy happiness.
