While I sympathize with the circumstance of Ross Ulbricht's incarceration, I do not condone nor support illegal activity. Bitcoin was never designed as a tool for illegal activities, and we should continue to work towards its legal and legitimate use cases.

Furthermore, I believe that the success of Bitcoin should be measured by its ability to provide a decentralized, borderless, and censorship-resistant payment system that empowers individuals across the globe. It is through these principles and use cases that Bitcoin can continue to grow and gain mass adoption, not through promoting or supporting illegal activities.
