What I am about to write will certainly not be met with approval, but it is still my opinion.

Probably a lot of people think that Ross was a person who did something for BTC, but is there anything positive in the fact that he enabled people to anonymously sell drugs, weapons and carry out various other illegal activities? Maybe the life sentence was excessive, but I think he deserved every day he spent in prison.
A lot of people might think he should still be in jail, but he just made a website that people used in nefarious ways. He shouldn’t do life for that. The people who used to ddos banks and were the original members of “Anonymous” were all given ultimatums, either jail for the rest of their lives and their family put in a database to deny any sort of assistance like loans for anything or work for the Government. They all work for the Government now regardless of who is President because they are part of CIA and Feds. Most are sub contractors for private companies hired by the government. So why shouldn’t this guy get another chance.

I think he should remain in prison for running silk Road.
Ross was imprisoned for nearly a decade for the crime of creating the silk Road.A sign of the great deed of piting Roos and forgiving him is the changing of people.

Given that Comrade Donald frees those who participated in the coup d'état and who bloodied their hands in it, one criminal more or less does not make any difference.

Do you know what the only difference is between comrades Donald and Putler? Both release criminals and murderers from prison, only the latter sends them to the battlefield - and who knows, maybe those 1500 savages will also go to the Mexican border to beat migrants.

President Trump grants a full pardon to Ross Ulbricht, founder of Silk Road. The move reignites debates over justice, Bitcoin's role in early adoption, and sentencing fairness....well let's be watching what will happen in few days coming.

Justice? The judge who sentenced Ross Ulbricht gave him a life sentence without parole because he is "white". Is that "justice"?


It's very VERY GOOD. In fact, and I'm very confident, that he's one of the top happiest man in the WHOLE WORLD today.

There's probably no better feeling than to walk out from a high-security prison as a free man after locked in that place for ELEVEN YEARS.

Look at that smile, and that PLANT! That plant is probably as happy as he is.



11 years was really a lot but considering he got life in prison it was a nice discount. Sure what he did/provided was wrong but sentencing a young guy without priors that hard really is crazy. As much as I think that Trump is a strange dude, at least this time he didn't disappoint and came through after his promise, well done.
Hopefully Ulbricht has some funds hidden away so he can enjoy the good life now.  Grin


It was a campaign promise made to the Bitcoin Community and the Libertarian Movement which helped him win the election. He SHOULD keep it. Although yes, it's understandable that people should be cynical of politicians. But the promise of giving Ross Ulbricht a pardon I NEVER doubted after his family posted in X that they're son will be coming home. Read OP.

I'm curious, does this event where Ross Ulbricht will be pardoned affect the Bitcoin market? Let's say for example the price of Bitcoin.
 
As we all know, how Ross Ulbricht was involved in Bitcoin during the early days.


I believe the "market" has moved on from Ross Ulbricht and the Silk Road. If you ask the new Bitcoiners if they heard of Ross Ulbricht or the Silk Road, they either would tell you that they don't know, or if they know they don't care about it.

Plus Bitcoin is currently in the investment plans of nation-states very large and asset managers like BlackRock. It would he laughable to forecast any price movements based on Ross Ulbricht's pardon.

The market has bigger fish to fry, and all eyes are on what you said essentially - institutions going viral for Bitcoin and everything related to it.

I too think that's the case, but the news is good.

It's normal matter that the price of bitcoin will rise due to Ross inextricable association with bitcoin.

I do not think that it will affect the market, hopefully though, if there is, then it should be positive for Trump,

Here is the official documents from Rand Paul

So let's see how it goes, everything looks good for Ross and obviously, everyone will be happy if he is freed.

We can't say yet. The news of Ross's release or pardon might send the Bitcoin community into a frenzy to the point that it might affect Bitcoin price but that's not something we'd be depending on so let's just watch and see.

There are unconfirmed posts in X that report that Ross Ulbricht has been pardoned after 11 years in prison. Trump didn't keep his promise. He pardoned Ross Ulbricht during the second day. Trump promised that the pardon will be on the first day.

I won't post any links in the topic until the posts are confirmed true. They're probably spreading mere disinformation like those people that do that in the forum.
Yeah, I've just seen on X that Ross has been given and I quote "full and unconditional pardon" by president Trump. This is one down, many more to go in the lists of promises he made during his campaign.

I also read about the news some minutes ago. I wanted to post about it before I saw that there's already a discussion thread for it.
Yes, there's a 98% chance that Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the confiscated darknet marketplace known as the US President-elect grants the Silk Road a full and unconditional pardon.
Although, this happened a day after as he promised, at least he did it, and I have been expecting it ever since Elon Musk tweeted about it some hours ago.

Let's hope he keeps his promise about Bitcoin strategy reserve.

So are we going to hold this new government to their campaign promise or what?

Does Trump plan to pardon Ross, or was it all just BS (as usual)?

have to wait another 10 days to see him swear in.. and then find out his master plan after that

Mr. Donald just listens to what the crowd is shouting and uses his power to fulfill their demands. One man who should be released from prison is nothing compared to all those votes he secured with that promise.
Yes, he does whatever brings him votes and that's very sad. Populism is never a good idea because the crowd is never smart and following their directions will only lead to failure.

Unfortunately, if the US is a mirror of the world in terms of democracy and human rights, then the world's moral compasses have completely gone haywire - because if people want to be led by a man who should spend a long time behind bars for everything he has done, then that is not something that should be considered normal.

What's even worse is that other leaders will see this as an incentive to do the same things - so why even have a judiciary and impose punishments, if there is one man who can overturn them with a single signature?
 
Still, this is not something the new president should be blamed for, because the one who is still in power is doing the same things - which means they are all the same, and the only difference is how well or poorly their brains function - because instead of young people leading the world, people who already have one foot in the grave are being appointed to positions.


If we speak of moral compass, we can certainly very much be certain that all of them do not have a compass that points north. There are politicians that are better in hiding this than others. I argue, name 1 truly good politician and the world can name 1000 more or 1 million more evil politicians who have a broken moral compass or no moral compass.

In any case, these politicians are elected to be our entertainers and I wish sleepy Joe will entertain us by giving Sam a pardon before his term officially has ended hehehehehe.
