This is Ross calling in from prison at Bitcoin 2021…
Brandon from BTC Inc posted it on X and I thought it should live on Nostr, too.
I wasn’t at Bitcoin 2021 and this is the first time I’ve heard this recording… it is one of the most powerful things I’ve ever heard in my life.
Take 25 minutes of your time and listen to Ross.
I am so damn glad he is back with his family and not in that hole anymore…
Don't listen to people that say to not pay taxes. Club Fed is no fun
Man fuck IRS fr..taxes are a scam...resources are not scarce..people are.

We were all watching that live. That was Miami, right? Where El Salvador made the big announcement.
Geez, nearly 4 years ago. Wow.
As a decades-long drug user who has been sober for years, I know that I got the stuff, no matter how. If not from one, then from the next. A platform like Ross created did not create the addiction & misery. It was merely a way to get what people wanted & in a cleaner way than on the street. Today, government programs do exactly the same thing (at least in my country). In my view, he doesn't have to feel sorry for that, on the contrary.
People must learn to tackle their problems & at the same time find an adequate way of dealing with newly acquired opportunities. Freedom & responsibility are two sides of the same thing. We call it: “my life”.
After government enforcement, freedom must be relearned (the whole shitcoin world demonstrates this very well).
I was very touched by this speech & also the fact of his release & I believe we can all learn a lot from the whole story. I would like to thank him for his contribution from the depths of my heart.
Bitcoin IS a solution, but we humans will have to grow towards the solution.🧡
