Honestly, it is my first time to see such blackmail email. And the first thing that I wanted to ask is,

Is it true that you all did what that sender told?

If so, you were definitely tricked and found your weakness. But despite of that, Never Ever send such amount to that blackmailer. This will just tolerate him.

There's a third option:
-Report to the authority
Don't be scared. They can definitely find that sender's IP address and track him down.

As long as you do not send any amount to him, then let him just blackmail you. Change all your  passwords in all of your accounts, reformart your computer to clean all the malwares inside. And this should be a lesson learned to you not to click and download any suspicious sites, links and apps.

Beside seeing your own password, when you think about it it's pretty obvious that guy is just bullshiting you and he doesn't have any "incriminating" stuff. If he really had access to the your computer he would see that you know thing or two about the crypto so he wouldn't explain to you that BTC part, or he would provide more evidence. This is just generic email (except your password) sent to probably thousands of people, and unfortunately some will fall for the this.
It makes sense, if he could control access to the victim's computer, then nothing would be left. The threats given also appear to be general words that are not specific to the victim. These hackers just send SPAM emails for a lot of emails and are just bluffing. Maybe he got the victim's email from some bounty participant database or some other list. some people will believe this e-mail because of the same place and event, but only a very small possibility.
