As for past performance, absent a rational basis for the price, you could equally write a post "Why I'm Putting All My Savings into Tulips (1635)".
And as for civil liberties — Ross Ulbricht might want to have a word with the author regarding the drug use case. And I don't think even the most hardcore libertarians would consider the ransomware business a civil liberty.

What's more free market and "personal responsibility" than allowing ransomware to weed out the weak/unfortunate? That sounds exactly like libertarianism to me.
