Author opens with a absolute pronouncement and you're gaslighting OP because he did the same thing?
> Let's talk about why cryptocurrency is the single factor that created the ransomware plague that is ravaging our healthcare system and public infrastructure.
- Nursie 5y agoGaslighting? Oh please. > cryptocurrency is the single factor that created the ransomware plague Why is this wrong? Without the ability to get paid like this, are you seriously telling me we'd see this stuff on the same scale? This is also far from the sort of thinking I wanted to point out that the OP is exhibiting. We see it here on HN all the time and it wouldn't surprise me if it comes from coding - "I can think of another situation and if I apply the same rule blindly, doesn't it show that the rule is broken?" The point is we don't have to apply the same rule everywhere in a society, and a rule that doesn't work well in one place can work well and provide value in another. The law is not code. Human society is not a computer model.
- NovemberWhiskey 5y agoJust as a matter of interest, could you please supply a link to the last newsworthy ransomware attack that didn't involve payment in cryptocurrency?
