> This point to an actual use of the cryptocurrency - exploiting a 0 day against someone who might have a crypto wallet means you can actually directly make money off exploits. Prior to crypto, having a 0 day wasn't equal with ability to make blackhat money with it...

Selling exploits requires credibility, escrow, and deep contacts. Selling bitcoin is a lot easier.

Ah so you mean leveraging the exploit for financial gain by using it (ransomware) versus selling. That makes a ton of sense!
