Poca gente tiene una segunda oportunidad. Disfrútela 🙏🫂💚
Gave me chills and brought me to tears. So glad to have you with us. Can’t wait to see what life has in store for you next.
You did good bro.
You paid the price for our freedom. Love the message of the speech, it was great!!
good speech. We are the wasps!
I was wondering about the tie... Red and oversized, that was my first thought!
There's not a lot I agree with in this Admin's actions, but pardoning you is the one unambiguously good thing that comes to mind.
An amazing speech. You've had quite a journey.
Hope to hear you in conversation on some podcasts soon.

What an incredible year has been so far. Great speech, Ross! Enjoy your freedom. 🫂
Will Bitcoin Puritans cancel Ross for daring to say that altcoins are fascinating experiments and a broader aspect of decentralization? 🤔

Well done sir.
And what a great speech ⚡️. Freedom, decentralization, unity. Unity is the key…
Your time in prison wasnt for nothing!
You paved the way for freedom tech, thank you for your sacrifice ser 💗
Hey man. With all due respect, r u jailed for enabling drug trafficking and money laundering among other charges?
If so, was that a wrongful conviction? Or if not, does bitcoin as technology along with allowing freedom, does it make drug trafficking and money laundering easier ?
I like the idea of bitcoin. I just don’t like narratives each person has behind it. Feels like a lot of personal agendas.
Here's the attention you wanted: 🖕🏻
Thank you @Donald J. Trump for pardoning @Ross Ulbricht 💖
Quanto de bitcoin você tinha guardado? :evilwoody_sm:
As he admitted, he effectively came out of a time capsule. It's not like he can be expected to know any better. It's gonna take time for Ross to become de-institutionalized and learn for himself that there is no 2nd best.
Many of us once thought there was a place for at least a few of the alt-coins. Experience teaches hard lessons that must be acquired oneself.
Good for you! 👏👏👏💪🫶
Lol A real freedom fighter would not take the bribe and stay in prison and die.
What the fuck are you talking about man
The Republicans and Trump got him out so he can promote Bitcoin and Trump for the Surveillance state Monero Growing your own food and freedom seeds are the only thing that's going to matter.
Yeah, no. Not really.
This is you. Don't lie. This is you.

You had supporters like guys from Samourai Wallet.
Now that you are free please support them even if it's with your voice #FREESAMOURAI

No pensaba que trump hiciera eso, pensaba que estaba en contra de btc y bueno hay cosas que no estoy de acuerdo pero otras sí, más que A o B un balance de todo el espectro de colores.
Maybe you should have sold more narcan on the site so less people were “sentenced to death” from your little drug operation. How you live with yourself is beyond me. Psychopathy is a real thing I guess.
embarrassing
#Trump is an opportunist who lacks respect for #freedom (if not his own and that of those who pursue his interests of domination, over the weakest)
... and, freedom is not a neutral word, for example the freedom to exterminate people, to discriminate against minorities, to prevent those who are different from you from living, are not freedoms, they are abuses. We need to understand what freedom means for us.
and what about #unity ? We must not confuse it with a conformism that erases all diversity, but with a relationship that feeds on our diversity. We are not wasps with the red Trumpian tie, we are human
seeing all these champions of freedom cheering a Nazi meme is rather demoralizing.
congratulations to you once again, bitcoin is making the world a better place for all, we will all die on this hill, future generation will remember all bitcoin and nostr activists.
#freedom #decentralisation and #unity for trumpists
Hey man. I’m sorry i came across as so. I was just asking a question. Last time i saw his post, i googled him when he said he was pardoned.
I didn’t see any evidence on the contrary that he didn’t commit a crime. Granted the punishment was excessive, doesn’t make it any better that tech enthusiasts run and hide behind I AM JUST A TECH GUY AND HAVE NO BEARING ON HOW THE TECH IS USED.
When he was in the bitcoin conference n all, I was genuinely curious as to why he garnered support. How did he support decentralization and stayed on the right side of morality? Or we just going to celebrate everyone who supports bitcoin no matter what. If So, this is a cult, and it’s time for me to leave.

Welcome back :)
I got a lot out of your speech. Thank you so much :)
I am happy that you are free and I understand you are grateful, but really, Trump does not care about you, he cared about the opinions in his inner circle and the crypto grift he was sold into. He is both a tool and a fool.
Enjoy your freedom friend, embrace your family and friends. We are all happy about it.

What did your “loose association” (not community, never community) accompish?
Great to hear at the opening of @CITADEL DISPATCH

Incredible to see Ross free and onstage at Bitcoin 2025. This man deserves a Presidential Metal of Freedom and a Nobel Peace Prize for everything he’s done to promote freedom and reduce the harm caused by the war on drugs.

Inspiring stuff!
Let's go, Ross!!!
God bless Donald Trump
A lot of good wisdom. We should take heed and enact what he said.
Truth. While we are thankful Trump did this, we are also aware he pretty much only did it for his image.
A lot of things are apparently beyond you.
A retarded troll.
Hey man. You have a strange perspective on freedom. Maybe you should lose it so you learn its value.
Do I? What’s ur perspective? How do you define freedom?
My idea of freedom for my lifetime would be to be able to choose every aspect of what I do in my 24 hours, everyday.
Yes, no point in engaging
Freedom 🏴☠️🏴☠️🤝😉
must be nice to not have to jerk off in the shower any longer ! lol

ok, maybe not the best speech giving technique, but he's not a speech writer...
and we're fortunate to here his words.
