ROSS ULBRICHT NEW CHAPTER

🚀 Ross Ulbricht’s New Chapter

Ross Ulbricht who was —jailed in 2015, long before most of us even knew about crypto—was pardoned by Trump. A look back at his infamous Silk Road marketplace reminds us how wild the early Bitcoin days were. Two BTC for a dose of cannabis? Crazy, right? 🤯

To celebrate his release, Kraken donated $111,111 in BTC to Ross, stating:

"After what you've been through, we want to help you land on your feet with the support of the Bitcoin community."

Justice, Bitcoin love, and a fresh start for Ross—what a story. 💪💸

💰 430 BTC: Retirement Plan Unlocked?

Turns out Ross Ulbricht has 430 untouched BTC sitting on wallets since his arrest—now worth $47M! Not bad for 10 years behind bars. 🤯

Coinbase exec Conor Grogan found the stash, noting it was never confiscated when Silk Road was shut down in 2013. Back then, BTC was $120. Today? It’s grown 1,000x.

Whether Ross still has access is anyone’s guess, but if he does… retirement’s looking pretty golden. 🤑🌟

###💥 Justin Sun’s “What If I Ran Ethereum” Plan 💡

Justin Sun shared his bold vision for Ethereum leadership, promising “ETH to $10,000” with an aggressive first-week strategy:

1️⃣ No more ETH sales for 3 years. Revenue would come from staking, borrowing, and AAVE lending to support Ethereum's deflationary goals.

2️⃣ Layer 2 projects taxed heavily, aiming to generate $5B annually for ETH buybacks and burns.

3️⃣ EF staff overhaul: Drastic downsizing, merit-based rewards, and big salary boosts for top performers.

4️⃣ Fee burns > Node rewards: Doubling down on ETH as a deflationary store of value.

5️⃣ Layer 1 focus: All resources redirected to scaling and security.

Sun claims these moves would push ETH to $4,500 in a week and set the stage for $10,000+. Ambitious or just crazy? 🌕🔥
