So if they asked for US dollars or Euros instead of Bitcoins you would not still call it racket? Why it becomes racket only if cryprocurrency is involved? I know, the narrative of the governments is that "bitcoin cannot be controlled, hence it must be illegal", but the same holds for the Internet then. We should be careful of what we wish...
