Donald Trump kept his word and pardons Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht - thehill.com/.../

Good thing

Bad thing

He got life in prison? He should be pardoned. Murderers get let loose and he gets life in prison? I am sure that Trump is more familiar with the circumstances but i think that life in prison is cruel and unusual punishment foe running a bitcoin scam. If he was a democrst donor he would never do a day in jail.

It wasn't even a scam, but a legitimate underground (Tor) marketplace!

[exitseven]

@CalmUntilAbused the whole crypto thing is a scam.

[CalmUntilAbused]

@exitseven Well... The altcoins might or might not be. Bitcoin and Ethereum are not, especially not when actually used as a currency, and that's how it was used on The Silk Road.

[CalmUntilAbused]

It sounds like a freedom-driven decision. I like it. Should The Silk Road be reestablished next?

[KostasKouvalis]

Yeah, it's good. The Silk Road was a very important road. It changed the course of history and culture in Eurasia. Why would they put its founder in jail?

[seeyounexttuesday]

Great news. Trump is the most libertarian president in our lifetime.

His sentence is excessive, but he did commit drug-related crimes, so it would be hypocritical to let him go.
