10年历程： Bitcoin 偶像罗斯·乌布利希仍在监狱中，仍在寻求正义
受欢迎的在线市场“丝绸之路”的幕后黑手罗斯·乌布利希 (Ross Ulbricht) 被判处终身监禁且不得假释，至今已正式过去十年。 他的罪行是：让自由人民能够自由贸易。
In the years since, his case has been a lightning rod for debates about internet freedom, drug policy, and the criminal justice system, leaving a lasting impact on the Bitcoin 和加密货币社区。
随着时间的流逝，乌布利希仍然在监狱里，仍在为他认为不公平的判决寻求正义。
In 2014, Ulbricht was arrested and accused of running Silk Road, a clandestine online marketplace that allowed users to buy and sell a wide range of goods, including drugs, using Bitcoin as the primary currency. His arrest was a pivotal moment in the history of Bitcoin, highlighting both its potential for censorship resistance and its association with illicit activities.
批评者认为，考虑到乌布利希罪行的非暴力性质，乌布利希的刑期与他的罪行不成比例。 他们声称，他的审判因违规行为而受到损害，其中包括参与调查的腐败特工的指控。 这些因素引发了一场热烈的释放他的运动，支持者呼吁宽大处理并重新审查他的案件。
Ulbricht himself has not remained silent during his incarceration. He has penned articles from behind bars, shedding light on his perspective and the lessons he's learned during his time in prison. In these writings, he has highlighted the role of Bitcoin as a symbol of freedom and resistance against government overreach.
他还触及过 他独特的个人经历 as an early adopter and innovator within the Bitcoin 市场。
"The early adopters of Bitcoin had no way of knowing what we do now. All they had was a dream, a conviction and enough infectious enthusiasm to bootstrap a digital contrivance into a multi-billion-dollar phenomenon we are only beginning to see the effects of," he wrote just last year.
In his articles, Ulbricht has expressed deep regret for his actions and the negative consequences they may have had. However, he also contends that the harshness of his sentence is a reflection of the government's desire to make an example of him and stifle the potential of Bitcoin as a tool for individual liberty.
The cryptocurrency community continues to rally behind Ulbricht, advocating for a fair review of his case and a reconsideration of his sentence. They argue that his imprisonment serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing battle for internet freedom, privacy, and the responsible use of Bitcoin.
Of late, this has included outreach to pro-Bitcoin U.S. presidential candidates, including Democrat nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as well as Republican hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy, who have suggested they are receptive to the cause.
As Bitcoin and digital assets gain mainstream acceptance, the case of Ross Ulbricht remains a powerful symbol of the complex relationship between technology, regulation, and individual rights.
