Somebody called in and asked why the people that are being ransomed don't just sue Bitcoin after the fact? The question was actually answered by the panel as if it was a legitimate question. I had to call in and correct them and let them know that in a sense suggesting that you could sue bitcoin would be like suggesting that someone sue cash. It's even more of an impossibility than that given that cash has a central authority and Bitcoin doesn't. I also made the point that people have used cash as ransom for years and nobody talks about how evil cash is, I said that bitcoin isn't the bad guy here.
