As I've said before. As the power of bitcoin and bitcoiners grows the politcians will continue to come and ask for their support and offer them things they want. The fact that bitcoiners got what they want says more about bitcoin than anything. You are missing the point here. I mean, most bitcoiners are missing it as well. Plenty are kissing up to politicians. They don't get it either.
save your anger for terrorists who killed people at a Christmas market in Germany ... unless you are a terrorist Muslim sympathizer... jury is still out
Ross Ulbricht creo una plataforma anónima, libre y abierta en Tor llamada Silk Road.
En Silk Road se vendía ropa, arte, libros, objetos de colección, equipos informáticos, productos electrónicos, ….y, sí, drogas. Pero, según los que lo utilizaban, Silk Road era posiblemente la forma más segura de vender drogas: sin violencia callejera, sin negocios turbios y sin fentanilo. Todo se sometía a pruebas y revisiones por pares, como un Amazon de sustancias.
Por ello, el gobierno le dio dos cadenas perpetuas sin libertad condicional por cargos no violentos, incluido el lavado de dinero, solo por usar Bitcoin. Se basaron en pruebas cuestionables y lo convirtieron en un ejemplo. ¿De dos agentes del FBI que investigaron a Ross? Bueno, en unos años fueron a la cárcel por fraude y robo de Bitcoin de la investigación de Silk Road...
Así pues, incluso si uno piensa que Silk Road fue un problema, hay que admitir que el castigo fue tremendamente desproporcionado. No se trata sólo de Ross o de un mercado, sino de la extralimitación del gobierno y del poder del Estado para aplastar a los individuos con leyes vagas.
El caso de Ross fue una advertencia a la innovación.
True. A person's life far more important than any sbr or whatever.
Having said that... he actually did what he said he would do and for that I'm impressed.
Hey @DarthCoin are you angry now?
I swear I don't get people that take joy in being right about the state persecuting people.
why should I be angry for this? I am angry when people kiss politician ass.

My point is simple: give them (politicians) nothing. Not even satisfaction that (maybe) they did something good for bitcoiners / bitcoin.
BTW a "pardon" is when somebody did something wrong and you pardon him. Ross did nothing wrong and he deserves RESTORATION not pardon.
he depends on the state persecuting people especially in Spanish
his silence is golden
LOL. Called him Ross Ulbright. Classic Trump
Pardoned the wrong guy 🤣🤣🤣
that's exactly what happened
wrong person was pardoned
Has the scum been fired and fined yet?
Leave it to Trump to make everything about him. I'm surprised we weren't treated to an anecdote about how the Biden apparatchiks prosecuted him.

Just watched it.

Never underestimate the power of a meme
HOLY SHIT. So happy he can finally be free. This is huge.
Link?

view on x.comDay 2? I'm not going to split hairs, I count this as promise kept.
the day following the inauguration is traditionally seen as the first full day of the new administration. Bro actually kept his word 🫂
Agreed. This makes up for a few bonehead moves. Credit where credit is due.
this must be so painful like giving birth
Day 2 is, as the expression goes, close enough for government work.
28 hours after inauguration
Happy day for Ross’ mama
Great news.
Congratulations Ross!
I am pleased Trump kept his word and did this.
I wonder what the maxis will do with the turn of events
FUCK YES!
President Donald Trump is fulfilling many of his promises.
This is great news!!! 11 years for promoting privacy and anonymity! Glad he is free!
This time is different.
So happy to see this news! This has made my week :)
Also Trump freed Ross on day 21
Don't tell trump though or he'll make out it was his idea
Good for Ross. The punishment was way too harsh. Ross home, Assange, any chance we get Snowden back?

That's gratest
Got a DPR hoodie
Now to find that cold wallet with 30 bitcoin on it…
We need to bring Ross to SN / Nostr ASAP=)
This is history
This is one big victory for all of Bitcoin community
Good
His family must be so happy that he is free, and I can see the entire bitcoin community is too! Good times.
Hopefully he has some leftover BTC from some stash the feds didn't seize.
I have talked smack about Trump, but I have to say, what he did, I’m incredibly grateful. And I’m impressed.
it's only day 2
you will have plenty of time to talk smack about Trump who lacks the gravitas of Biden or Kamala
Lost my bet but good to see.
are you sure? must be painful? on the verge of suicide?
Doesn’t pasting a screenshot require more effort than to paste the link which contains context?
who cares
you must really hate Trump to bring this up... imagine if Trump crashed a Christmas market in Germany
And some maxis were against this. Jesus
Against it? No. But didn't believe it would happen.
We may get a SBR after all.
This is where I am at mentally
it's called hopium and copium
This was more important than SBR imo
💯
SBR? What's that?
Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (named after the strategic petroleum reserve iirc)
True. A person's life far more important than any sbr or whatever. Having said that... he actually did what he said he would do and for that I'm impressed.
Fair. A testament to how low our bar is for political promises. And for good reason
everything Trump does must be qualified
"low bar" "he actually did what he said"
it was on day 2 not day 1
SN users live in a utopian bubble SN users don't live in the real world because they don't want to face reality
milennial and gen Z cunts
but it did happen and you can't admit that Trump did it but not the airhead Kamala
Saying anything positive about Trump violates their cultish oath
right @ama?
@ama is a cunt
