With it being an election year and bitcoin being one of the main catalysts in this and highly debated with subjects in the spotlight from it reaching it's all time high recently to it's regulation spurring debate among it's prime candidates on whether they should adopt or fight CBDC in the American financial system.

One thing that the former president had presented for his re-election did catch my eye:
Whether or not to pardon Ross Ulbricht of his crime for running the Silk Road?

When a person begins to talk too much inorder to gain the attentions of so many, then there should be a question mark to all what has been said so far. Trump has really been talking tough, and stating so many things that he will do the moment he is elected. I won't be surprise at all if he doesn't do most of this things that are been stated,. But remember that internet never forgets.

Why now? Not when he is running for President last time and he won. Is it because of the hype and popularity of Bitcoin especially when the ETF was approved? Yes, there's no other reason for doing this.

I think Trump is trying to get the votes of all the Bitcoin maximalist and the supporters of Ross. And this is another way to bring down his opponent Biden because of the bad image of him in the cryptocurrency community.
But here is the problem, Trump is not so clean too, he was also against cryptocurrencies and just saying he has a change of heart. Well yeah, you will change your heart if you are running for president and trying to get more supporters. They made this politics like Hollywood, all fake, all drama, all scripted, and it's all to manipulate the votes.
Let's say he wins and release him, what's next?
Oh, and RFK Jr. said the same thing.

Lol : "A vote for Trump means Ross could be free"

It's not far from begging votes at that level.

"The Bitcoin Historian" should remind us where Ross slept and spent his time, during Trump's years in White House?

There is a general belief among some Bitcoiners that Donald Trump has repented from his bad views about Bitcoin. He wants all future Bitcoin to be mined in the US. Trump made this promise to please Libertarian voters who have been campaigning for the legalization of drugs and the release of Ross Ulbricht. Politicians cannot be trusted but this promise is good enough to make him get votes from Bitcoiners and supporters of Ross.

Trump is trying to do everything he can to attract USA. citizens and turn them to his supporters. He will use any mean he can to get as many votes as possible. What will he do, what will be future of Dread Pirate Roberts should be discussed after he becomes a next elected President.

Joe Biden is also doing all he can to remain in the White House. This is the nature of politicians. My only concern is Trump's willingness to fulfill his promise of commuting the sentence of Ross Ulbricht when he gets to the White House.

I've discussed Ulbricht's case with some people just recently. Overall, I don't think people like him should be in prison, let alone have a life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. His crime was non-violent, but I also do understand why he got such a harsh punishment. He challenged the system a lot by defying the court, making a marketplace what doesn't need any governmental oversight and selling, among other things, opiates. Opiates are a very sensitive topic in the US because they still have overdose deaths on the rise. Still, a guy like that would be more useful working for the country, not against it or rotting in prison.
But as for Trump, I simply don't trust him. I think he's just being a populist, telling people what they want to hear to win more votes in the upcoming elections. And then, once he's in power, he can continue doing what he always did, and that's not being pro-Bitcoin and not being libertarian. Also, commuting the sentence could be a possibility of parole without him actually getting parole, for example. He didn't say he'd pardon him or otherwise free him.

That was just point 16. Scroll up to read the rest of the timeline too Ross's plight while being jailed.
Don't know if this was during the Obama years but he did show where he spent 6 weeks of his conviction:

Will Trump return to the White House as a next President?

We don't know about it now and if he won't become a next President of the USA., this debate on future of Dread Pirate Roberts is non sense. Cheesy

Edit: Apparently cynicism is not understood by all here, I was implying that Trump already had the opportunity to free him when he was President; and that trying to scrape up votes like that now is ridiculous Roll Eyes

With the presidential debates looming to happen this week and Elon Musk has stated he will host it on his social media platform X:

No mention of any questions about cryptocurrency would be presented but it would be speculation if not mentioned with all the political red tape from the SEC to his own Trump Pump to not have it spoken about:
