I don't think you'll ever be able to fully ban cryptocurrency.
Also, I'm not even sure ransomware is a net bad thing in the first place. It encourages better security and makes companies less likely to store my private information.
- thehappypm 5y agoIf the G7 banned crypto trading, even if ransomware hackers wanted to be paid in crypto, companies would be unable to do so without breaking the law, which would be untenable. The bottom would fall out. Yes, people in other countries could do it, but without major economies pumping in value, they're more of a curiosity. Which, maybe would be better.
