On May 29th 2015 Ross Ulbricht was sentenced to 2 life sentences plus 40 years with no chance of parole for founding a dark web marketplace for people to freely trade drugs with a rating system to insure safe supply. The only money you could use on it was Bitcoin. When he was sentenced 1 Bitcoin was worth $237. Today he received a presidential pardon and Bitcoin is worth $105,800 and some people still think the only use case for Bitcoin is criminal activity 😂
Congratulations Ross and his family. It's emotional to think of how big of a deal this must be for him and his mother who has fought for his freedom this whole time.
