After 11 years of imprisonment, the founder of the Silk Road smiles for the first time - is it a smile of resignation or a call for freedom?

President Trump announced a full and unconditional pardon for Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the Silk Road, drawing global attention. Ulbricht, who was sentenced to life in prison for operating a dark web marketplace, has now ended over a decade of prison life. This decision fulfills Trump's campaign promise and has received high praise from some in the Bitcoin community and supporters.

Ulbricht became a symbolic figure of digital crime due to the use of Bitcoin in illegal transactions on the Silk Road website, which had a trading volume exceeding $200 million. Although the controversial murder charges against him have been dropped, the legacy of the Silk Road continues to have a profound impact on the regulation and anonymity issues in the cryptocurrency industry.
