never knew who, or really anything about Ross Ulbricht until I learned about bitcoin earlier this year. not surprised, but saddened, that it isn’t talked about more globally. they want you to be ignorant to his disgusting unnecessary sentencing, because they know they did something wrong.

Give his life back, give him justice.

Nah. What he did was bad. But maybe not two life sentences bad.

He facilitated illegal activities. And worse tainted the Bitcoin brand to the point we are still dealing with it to this day.

When you deal narcotics online that result in deaths, there are consequences

Pretty unbalanced ones in this case.

I don't get the praise for this guy. You should read his transcripts 🤮The dude ordered a bunch of murders and asked for photographic proof. Really violent stuff all motivated by capital gain. The drug charges were easier to get him on so they went that route and sentenced him heavily which is why he gets to pose with other people in prison for non violent offences but he was really sick imo and probably deserves to be where he is.

Silk Road was cool though, my biggest regret in life is getting on there to wanting to buy psychedelics in 2012 and giving up because I couldn't figure out how to buy this thing called "Bitcoin" lmao 🤡

You don’t have to praise him to realize the sentencing was political and unjust. For perspective, John Hinckley attempted to assassinate a sitting president. 40 years later he has been released and cut an album.

Fair point!

You are a clown. Bush and Obama for whom you clowns voted killed millions of innocent people still received Nobel prize.

They made an example out of him.

It’s not that everything has stopped.

Be nice I didn't vote for them and I'm not even American haha. I simply think it's strange everyone calls him a hero as if he didn't order multiple murders and request photos of the dead bodies 😂

The way drug “crimes” are enforced in this country is historically unjust. By creating a marketplace where buyers and sellers could interact remotely, it protected their physical safety and may have even saved lives. He was in his 20s when this took place and he deserves a second chance at life.

dude is a murderer
