Go bitcoin! An alternative monetary system can only be a very good thing, and bitcoin is one of a very short list of contenders.

    So did computers and tcp/ip. Should we roll them back too?

      No, that doesn't follow from my statement. I was pointing out why 'can only be a very good thing' might be wrong. If bitcoin's advantages are enough to offset its drawbacks (of which enabling ransomware is one), that is a good thing. That is not a given, though.
