“I want you to understand what it means to lose your freedom.”

I wasn’t at the Bitcoin Conference in 2021, but I watched this talk on the livestream. When it was over, I knew without a doubt that there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.

If you haven’t heard this before, please dedicate 25 minutes of your life to listen to this talk by Ross Ulbricht, in his own voice, delivered over the phone from prison.

Those bastards threw him in solitary confinement for 6 months afterward.

So sad

Me too

This talk hit hard

Freedom can be achieved for those who never surrender! As he said: It’s just a beginning!

Thanks for sharing that. No words.

Thanks for sharing! I’ll watch it!

Didn‘t know such an audio exists. Makes some things more clear, his intentions, his reflection about the past. Do you know who recorded that? So he phoned someone for half an Hour out of prison?

Great content, thanks for making me aware of this.

It was recorded by the staff of Bitcoin Magazine and played during the 2021 conference. Someone named Peter was on the other end of the line. That’s all I know.

Thanks!

It was played 2 or 3 times during the conference. Powerful stuff. I think it was the same day as the SV legal tender announcement.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure it was. Four years on Planet Bitcoin feels like a century on Earth.

Wow, I thought I "knew" Ross's story, yet I didn't know shit. I'm of loss of words. In recent years it has become clear to me that there is some kind of heartless establishment with who knows what kind of self interests trying to control and poisen every area of our lifes, from finances to food, from education to energy, from media to medical, everywhere you can sense an evil chicanery.

I feel such an array of emotions listening to Ross. And I wonder; can this sinister establishment ever been brought to its knees? Who are we actually fighting against? It's like an invisible web, an entity with no heart to rip out, yet its devastating influence on human freedom, sovereignty and prosperity is undeniable.

Thanks for this

I don't think he was ever in solitary confinement for 6 months, I'm sure he'd show signs of more severe trauma if that happened

I also do not care about the words of someone speaking to a CONFERENCE in the first two years of the pandemic
