Nega AQShning navbatdagi prezidenti kechirishi kerak? Bitcoin Kashshof Ross Ulbricht
The story of Ross Ulbricht is one that has captivated the Bitcoin community for years – a brilliant young mind, an entrepreneur with a passion for free markets, and the creator of the Silk Road, an anonymous e-commerce platform that operated on the fringes of the internet, has now been officially behind bars for 10 years.
To many, it's a miscarriage of justice. Proof that our justice system was caught up in a sensational story. It sought to punish, not find the truth.
Still, Ross Ulbricht's journey from an idealistic 26-year-old to a prisoner serving a double life sentence without parole, plus 40 years, is a stark reminder of the complexities surrounding issues of internet freedom, privacy, and drug policy.
Uning hikoyasi hukmining adolatliligi va prezidentning aralashuvi zarurligi haqida qizg'in bahs-munozaralarga sabab bo'ldi.
Qo'shma Shtatlar yangi prezidentlik davriga tayyorgarlik ko'rayotgan bir paytda, savol tug'iladi: AQShning keyingi prezidenti nihoyat Ross Ulbrixtga afv etadimi?
Already, there are positive signs. Democratic candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has pledged to consider the case if elected, though he has stopped short of pledging a pardon. Meanwhile, Vivek Ramaswamy, a Republican, has posed for photos with a fan wearing a "Free Ross" t-shirt. Both accept Bitcoin donations for their campaign.
Further, in 2020, former President Donald Trump, who is seeking to run for reelection, was considering a pardon for Ulbricht, though it appears at last minute, he decided not to go through with the decision.
The Silk Road, often referred to as the "eBay of drugs," was a platform where consenting users could buy and sell a variety of items, including drugs, as long as no third party was harmed. While legal items were also available, the platform gained notoriety for facilitating illicit transactions, primarily small amounts of marijuana.
Ross Ulbricht hech qachon zarar etkazish yoki tan jarohati etkazishda ayblanmagan va uning sudida aniq bir jabrlanuvchi nomi aytilmagan. Buning o'rniga, u Amazon yoki eBay-dan farqli o'laroq, platformani yaratgan va ishlatganligi uchun sudlangan, bu uni zo'ravonliksiz jinoyat uchun shartli ravishda umrbod ozodlikdan mahrum etilgan bir necha birinchi jinoyatchilardan biriga aylantirgan.
The injustice in Ulbricht's case becomes evident when compared to other Silk Road-related sentences. The average prison term for all other defendants connected to the case, including actual drug sellers and those who helped run the platform, is just six years. Most of these individuals are already free today, whereas Ross Ulbricht is condemned to spend the rest of his life behind bars.
Furthermore, the media coverage surrounding Ross Ulbricht's case has often been sensationalized and inaccurate. False, uncharged allegations were introduced during his sentencing, further damaging his reputation.
Rossning o‘zi qilmishidan chuqur pushaymonlik bildirib, “Ipak yo‘li”ni yaratish dahshatli xato bo‘lganini va bundan juda afsusda ekanligini ta’kidladi. Uning ta'kidlashicha, u hech qachon zarar keltirmagan va qonunni buzish og'ir narxni o'rgangan.
Uning ishini tinimsiz qo'llab-quvvatlagan onasi Lin Ulbricht qamoqxonadagi namunali xulq-atvorini tasdiqlaydi, u erda birorta ham intizomiy jazosiz repetitorlik qilgan, darslarga rahbarlik qilgan va boshqa mahbuslarga ustozlik qilgan.
Rossni shaxsan biladigan 300 dan ortiq kishilar uning ajoyib fe'l-atvori va ularning hayotiga qanday ijobiy ta'sir ko'rsatganligi haqida guvohlik berishgan. U mehribon, mehribon va saxovatli sifatida tasvirlangan.
The petition for Ross Ulbricht's clemency, started by FreeRoss.org, has garnered significant support. Over 250 organizations, prominent individuals, and leaders have voiced their belief in the injustice of his sentence. They argue that Ross deserves a second chance to reintegrate into society and start a family. Many Bitcoin Magazine readers agree.
However, despite a groundswell of support and a growing consensus that Ross's sentence is unjust, he remains behind bars.
The next US president will face many critical decisions. We hope they will consider sending a message that entrepreneurship, especially done with new technologies like Bitcoin in the spirit of freedom, will be positively encouraged.
