How do you transfer a monetary ransom to an organization operating within a country that is blocked from accessing western financial infrastructure?
You can't use USD bank transfers (you open yourself up to SEC and DoJ prosecution), you can't use gold (the logistics are near impossible), and you can't transfer assets (same story as above).
Crypto is unique in that it's both a virtual store of assets, and has infrastructure that can exist independent of western financial infrastructure
