Then don't opt-in.

  I don't think that large companies or individuals have a choice when ransomware hits them and they need to pay in crypto to save their documents. Definitely not a good look for crypto is it?

    It's kind of a non-sequitur. That's like if I said that Linux is opt-in and then you said "I don't think that individuals have a choice in the matter when they get kidnapped by a drug cartel and forced to run their IT infrastructure". Yeah, nothing is opt-in if you're being forced by a criminal to use it. What?

      Now what you've just done is a complete fanciful strawman. > It's kind of a non-sequitur. Nope, the difference with my argument is that this is actually happening in the real world. Ransomware gangs trying to destroy companies data and they can only use crypto to save their documents, which is one of the reasons why the crypto is very appealing for criminals. Nothing entirely wrong with that, except that proves my point. There are no legitimate use cases of crypto, and usually the current financial system does better if not more than what crypto tries to make even worse.
