Asking to get paid in Bitcoin is already a stiff barrier to entry for most users, so probably not. $300 feels close to the upper threshold where people who already care enough to not balk at the Bitcoin requirement also won't balk at the sticker price.

Ahh, yeah you're totally right, I keep forgetting that the victims need to pay with bitcoin.

Well. I guess it's good that there's not a more convenient way to give in to the criminals' demands!
