The Silk Road founder could be one of the world's richest people if he gets his bitcoin back from the U.S government.

Ulbricht could already be sitting on millions in Bitcoin, according to Conor Grogan, a director at the San Francisco-based cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase. Grogan noted that around 430 BTC—worth approximately $47 million—awaits untouched in wallets possibly linked to Ulbricht. These wallets have been dormant for over 13 years, he said.

Ross Ulbricht’s full pardon by President Trump marks a monumental victory for Bitcoiners, symbolizing justice for a man who became a beacon for freedom and innovation. This long-awaited moment proves the power of persistence and reminds us to keep advocating for Bitcoin and freedom.
